NAME
snapshot - capture some or all of a screen image and save to
a raster file
SYNOPSIS
snapshot [ -d default directory ] [ -f default filename ] [
-g ] [ -l filename ] [ -n ] [ -v ]
AVAILABILITY
This command is available with the OpenWindows environment.
DESCRIPTION
snapshot is an OpenWindows XView utility that allows users
to save images from their workstation screens into a raster
file. The user may choose to take a picture of a single win-
dow, the entire screen, or any rectangular portion of the
screen.
snapshot can also be used to load and display Sun rasterfile
or GIF formatted files. It is also capable of viewing
images of a different depth than the screen, for example,
displaying color images on a monochrome screen. The image is
appropriately dithered before it is displayed. Compressed
images will be unpacked and loaded automatically.
Images can be saved to disk in Sun rasterfile format, or
printed on a PostScript printer. There are various printer
options (see below).
If it also possible to drag and drop rasterfile or GIF
images onto the snapshot drop zone and these will be loaded
automatically. Similarily, it is possible to drag and drop
from snapshot to another DeskSet application such as
filemgr(1) or printtool(1).
OPTIONS
-d default-directory
Name of the default directory to use for load and save
operations.
-f default-filename
Name of the default filename to use for load and save
operations.
-g Display color images using a greyscale ramp.
-l filename
Name of the file to automatically load and view on
startup.
-n Automatically overwrite previously loaded images or
snapshot without prompting the user for confirmation.
Similarly, when saving images to disk, files will be
automattically overwritten.
-v Print the version number of this release of the
snapshot program.
USAGE
snapshot operates using a combination of control panels with
various buttons, choices and text fields to define the
actions performed and the files used.
Load... This button displays a control panel which allows
the user to specify the name of the directory and
the filename to use for image load operations.
The default directory name is the current working
directory, and the default filename is
snapshot.rs. These text fields can be overwritten
by the user.
Save... This button displays a control panel which allows
the user to specify the name of the directory and
filename to use for saving snapped images. As with
the load operation, the default directory name is
the current working directory and the default
filename is snapshot.rs, both of which can be
adjusted by the user.
Print This button displays a menu with two options:
Print Snap
Sends the currently snapped or loaded
image to the printer with the current
options.
Options The options displayed in the Print
Options window follow.
Destination:
Indicates the destination for
the print. This can be either
the printer (the default), or
the name of a file. If the
Printer option is specified,
then the printer name can be
given, or if the File option
is specified, the name of the
directory and file to use can
be given.
Orientation:
Specifies the position of the
image on the paper. The snap
can be printed either up and
down the page (the default),
or sideways across the page.
Position: Specifies the position of the
snapshot on the page. By
default the image will be cen-
tered, but you can specify the
position in inches from the
left and top of the paper.
Scale to: Allows the user to specify
whether the image should be
printed at actual size, or if
a width or height (or both)
should be given, which will
override the default size.
Double Size:
Specifies whether the snapshot
is to be doubled in width and
height.
Monochrome Printer
Select this option if the
printed output is to be in
monochrome.
Snap Type:
The type of image to snap; a window, a rectangular
region of the screen, or the entire screen.
Snap Delay:
Delays the snapping of the picture for the speci-
fied number of seconds.
Beep During Countdown
Indicates if a beep should be sounded every second
as the snap delay is counted down.
Hide Window During Capture
The snapshot window is made invisible before the
snapshot is taken. The timer delay is forced to
eight seconds.
Snap Snap the contents of the window, region or screen.
If you are snapping a window, then select the
desired window using SELECT . To cancel the selec-
tion, use ADJUST or MENU . If you are snapping a
region, select the region to be snapped by using
SELECT and dragging the rectangle around the area.
Use ADJUST to take the snapshot or use MENU to
cancel.
View... Launches imagetool and displays the snapped or
loaded image in the imagetool main window. Once
imagetool is running, all snapped images will be
displayed in this window. Also, the Load, Save
and Print buttons on the snapshot main window all
become inactive once imagetool is running. Users
can find these options on the imagetool file menu.
