If you don't want to install any special programs, xwd(1) which comes with X is pretty good. Its output is an X Window Dump (xwd). You can convert an X Window Dump to a PNG with ImageMagick's convert(1) program. You can pipeline the two commands together, but here is a simple two step example. UNIX> xwd -root > display.xwd UNIX> convert display.xwd display.png
