[Manifold-l] Creating image from layout

[Graeme Greenwood]

Sounds like confusion between "create <new> image" which of course will be
blank because that's what you've asked for, and "create image from <existing
component>", which was my assumption in the initial response, given the
stated context. Hope that clears things up a little further.
