[PyQt] Screenshots in linux
Hello: Does anyone have any idea how I might select a region of my desktop and then take a screen grab of it? The screenshot example shows me how to grab the snapshot, but the hard part (at least for me) is changing my mouse cursor to some crosshairs and drawing a region on the desktop that I'd like to grab. Can I make a transparent Always On Top window and get mouse clicks from it? Anyone done something like this before and have any hints? Thanks! ___ PyQt mailing listPyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt

There's also xgrab (segfaults on my system) and Gnome probably has something. For a console you can just cut and paste. KSnapshot includes a settable time delay and the ability to only grab the window containing the mouse or the entire screen or a region. You can always crop or scale a screenshot with something like xv or gimp. Jim ___ PyQt mailing listPyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt
