Barthelet,
this is an addition to the response posted by Jens-Peer Kuska. As he pointed
out, you can do
gr = Plot[Sin[x], {x,0,6}];
tmp = ImportString[ExportString[gr, "BMP"], "BMP"] (* use ImageSize to
control the dimensions of the resulting Raster *)
and you will get a Graphics[Raster[ ] ] object.
Now, with the "Digital Image Processing" application you simply use
img = ToGrayLevel[ tmp[[1, 1]] ] (* for monochrome Rasters *)
which is the typical method for converting a matrix of values (i.e. raw
data) into an ImageData object representing a monochrome image.
