What are you trying to achieve?:
Trying to give a sound stimuli and take a response with brush tool
What did you try to make it work?:
Trying to find a solution on this forum , tried to understand if I need to convert any data which is not in an image format to an image but also can not find an answer to that, also converted it to a python file and tried to read to find something about saving that data but could not understand by that way eigtherā¦
What specifically went wrong when you tried that?:
The experiment works but Can not see any brush response data saved anywhere

Experiment ended.
this appears on the console
I did search the path on the error and there are two .data and one .plist files but still can not find a solution about how to see brush component saved data
The Brush component is a tricky one as the data youāre likely to want is very much dependent on your experiment design. During the experiment, you can access the position of the Brush via:
myBrush.pointer.pos
to answer the question āis the Brush currently on this image/shape component?ā you would do this:
myShape.contains(myBrush.pointer)
or get an array of all positions the brush has drawn in via:
myBrush.brushPos
and all of these you could use trials.addData to save them to the datafile.
but if you wanted to actually see the response, the best way is to capture the window as an image at the end of the routine:
win.saveMovieFrames('data/myFilename.png')

Hi, I try to save the png images of the result. But it continues showing that the win variable is not found. Do you know how can I solve it? Apprecitative of your time!
What tab in the 
Code component did you put the code in? If win is not defined Iād guess itās that the code is being executed too early
HI, I just put win.saveMovieFrames(ādata/myFilename.pngā) in the code component in each frame. I am wondering what kind of other actions do I need to include before using this function? Thank you so much!
Itās very strange for win not to exist by the time the each frame code is executed, could you share your psyexp file?
Yes! Here is my experiment:
drawing1.psyexp (62.1 KB)
I put the win function in the line_drawing_task rountine.
Are you running this locally? Your Code component has some JavaScript in the Python box:
psychoJS.eventManager.clearEvents('keyboard')
should be
keyResp.clearEvents()
and:
keys = psychoJS.eventManager.getKeys()
should be
keyResp.getKeys()
Iām not sure why the specific error youāre getting is that win doesnāt exist, but when running locally psychoJS certainly shouldnāt exist so that might expplain why itās erroring.
Also Iād advise against saving the screen each frame - youāll end up just overwriting the same image over and over which will slow down your experiment. If you only want the window at the end of the routine, itās best to have the screenshot saving in the End Routine tab
Sorry for the late response and thank you so much for your reply and help! Actually, I have run it online. Should it be the reason why the win does not work? The reason I saved each frame is that I want to save the response of each picture of participantsā drawing.
To save each drawing I think you still want it to run at the end of the routine rather than each frame - as this will save after each repeat of the routine.
win not existing online makes sense! In PsychoJS itās not called win, itās called psychoJS.window
Okay. I will trouble shoot with it more later. Thank you so much for your suggestions!
