I want to preserve the content of Graphics buffer and reuse it later. But when I store in a new Uint8Array it and call graphics.clear(), it clears the saved variable also. See below example.

I am saving g.buffer in fb variable and after calling g.clear(), it clears fb also.

How to resolve this?

>g=Graphics.createArrayBuffer(8,8,8);
=Graphics: {
  buffer: new ArrayBuffer(64)
 }
>g.drawLine(0,0,7,7)
=Graphics: {
  buffer: new Uint8Array([255, 0, 0, 0, 0,  ... 0, 0, 0, 0, 255]).buffer
 }
>var fb = (new Uint8Array(g.buffer))
=new Uint8Array([255, 0, 0, 0, 0,  ... 0, 0, 0, 0, 255])
>print(fb);
new Uint8Array([255, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 255, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 255, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 255, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 255, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 255, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 255, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 255])
=undefined
>g.clear();
=Graphics: {
  buffer: new ArrayBuffer(64)
 }
>print(fb)
new Uint8Array(64)
=undefined

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
