`(string) build()`

Generates a new image and returns it as a binary string.

build() generates a new image, based on the instructions on the photo manipulation cache. This cache is created by the image manipulation functions

Examples:

In class templates (PHP):

  <?php 
    $this->convert("JPG");
    $this->scale(150, 150, "FFFFFF");
    echo $this->build(); 
    $this->cleanup();
  ?>

In object templates (PINP):

  <pinp>
    if (!cached("mythumbnail")) {
      convert("JPG");
      scale(150, 150, "FFFFFF");
      echo build(); 
      cleanup();
      savecache(999); 
    }
  </pinp>
