Description

I've built a visual checkpoint routine with ImageView that displays an image, annotates it, then writes the image out with write_to_png. Without moving to something like Cairo, is there a way to modify that routine so that it doesn't display the image?

Research direction

Start by tracing the ImageView routine that displays and annotates the image, then inspect how write_to_png is used. Determine whether the existing annotation and export path supports operation without showing a window; done means documenting or implementing a clear headless workflow, with its behavior verified.
