I just took 2 minutes looking at the source code for scrot (which is about as simplistic a screen grabber as you'll find), and it looks fairly simple: it uses giblib, which provides a function called gib_imlib_create_image_from_drawable, which does exactly that. Not sure if Haskell bindings for giblib exist already though. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
