Hi, you are nearle there, only some small mkodificatioin needed: First make an empt array: g={}; then append your graphics to this array: numel=3; y=0; For[i=1,i<=numel,i++, AppendTo[g, Show[Graphics[{Hue[0.55],Rectangle[{0,y},{4,y+1.5}],RGBColor[1,1,1], Rectangle[{0.2,y+0.2},{3.8,y+1.3}]}],AspectRatio\[Rule]Automatic, ImageSize\[Rule]100]];y=y+2.5]; then combine the tthree plots into one: g=Show[GraphicsArray[List/@ g]]; and export this: Export["rectangles.bmp", g, ImageSize -> {150, 170}]; Daniel shp wrote: > Hi! > > I'm pretty new to Mathematica and I'm trying to draw and export some > graphics in it (as a part of a seminar). > > What I0m trying to do is make cards (ie bitamps or gifs) for a card > game Set.
