AttributeError: 'Draw' object has no attribute 'tostring'

I want to draw on internal image memory, tried the given code in the documentation, but following error has occurred. Also, I need this function very much.

Python 3.12.3 (tags/v3.12.3:f6650f9, Apr  9 2024, 14:05:25) [MSC v.1938 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import aggdraw
>>> d = aggdraw.Draw("RGB", (320, 200), "white")
>>> p = aggdraw.Pen("black", 0.5)
>>> d.line((0, 0, 500, 500), p)
>>> d.line((0, 500, 500, 0), p)
>>> s = d.tostring()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'Draw' object has no attribute 'tostring'
>>>

Any kind of help will be appreciated.
Thank you.

Ah that was changed a long time ago when multiple aggdraw repositories were merged. You can see the pull request here:

#12

The main thing was to match changes in Pillow (PIL) and Python itself where tostring was replaced by tobytes in Python 3 (if I'm remembering this correctly). It looks like all the actual code got updated, but not the example code.

So using tobytes should work. Let me know if it doesn't.

Dear @djhoese,

I sincerely appreciate your kind reply and great support. While I was aware that the documentation might be old, I wasn’t aware of the crucial detail that tostring had been replaced by tobytes. After investigating the tobytes method, I can confirm that it functions correctly and perfectly fine.

Thank you immensely! 😊

Fixed in #100. Released as 1.3.19. Thanks for the bug report!
