    Default java gui menu , saveing

    hello , im trying to get my save function on my menu bar to work right. when i hit save on the menu bar , it creates the file and everything. but the picture is blank. i cant seem to find what i did wrong.


    heres my save method, it supposed to save an image of my GUI canvas , but like i said i comes up blank.
     
    public void SaveToDisk(String file) {
    		file = "save.png";
    		// need a buffered image to save the image
    		BufferedImage bufferedImage = 
    			new BufferedImage(150, 
    					150, 
    					BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB); 
     
     
    		Graphics g = bufferedImage.createGraphics();
     
    		this.paint(g);
     
     
    		g.dispose();
     
     
    		System.out.println("Saving file to disk:" + file); 
    		try {
    			ImageIO.write(bufferedImage, "png", new File(file));
    		} catch (Exception e) {
    			System.out.println("[e] cannot save");
    		}		
    	}
     
    	public void loadImage() {
    	      try {                
    	    	  image = ImageIO.read(new File("save.png"));
    	       } catch (IOException ex) {
    	    	   System.out.println("[e] cannot load");
    	       }
    	}

    just incase here the action listener for my save button , which im pretty sure is right

    save.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
     
    			@Override
    			public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    				System.out.println(e.getActionCommand());
    				canvas.SaveToDisk("");
    			}
     
    		});

    This is only partial code- can you provide an SSCCE that we can copy and paste to run and see exactly what's going on?
