Var logo as Picture = LogoMBS(500)
Var image as CGImageMBS = CGCreateImageMBS(logo)

Var dic as new Dictionary

// 10%
'dic.Value(CGImageDestinationMBS.kCGImageDestinationLossyCompressionQuality)=0.1

// 100%
dic.Value(CGImageDestinationMBS.kCGImageDestinationLossyCompressionQuality)=1.0

Var file as FolderItem = SpecialFolder.Desktop.Child("logo.jpg")
Var d as new CGImageDestinationMBS(file, "public.jpeg", 1)

d.AddImage(image, dic)

if d.Finalize then
  MsgBox "Saved"

end if

CGImageDestination objects, available in Mac OS X v10.4 or later, abstract the data-writing task. An image destination can represent a single image or multiple images. It can contain thumbnail images as well as properties for each image.

The functions described in this reference can write data to three kinds of destinations: a file, an URL and a string. After creating a CGImageDestination object for the appropriate destination, you can add image data and set image properties. When you are finished adding data, call the function Finalize to write the image data and properties.
