# Description

Use the imagePixmapID property to pass the window ID to an external that needs to manipulate the window.

The pixmap ID is provided by the operating system.

Some externals need to manipulate the contents of the image directly, and do so by referencing the ID. Such externals require you to pass the ID when you use the external.
