[Fits best into that thread, better than creating a new one] Here another community stack, mainly prepared for Raspi, but works (much faster, of course) also on Mac/Win/Linux. The stack is a resizable transparent window-masked stack. = Choose shapes to be created on-the-fly from menu: ...

Re: snapshot and animation capture

Also, I switched from exporting to an image and just had it export straight to a file, then set the filename of the image to that file. The behavior of an image when it's got a direct snapshot in it, and when its filename is set, is not consistent. I skipped the voyage if exploration and just used

I got a reasonable facsimile of my original vision by just using an entire substack to define the capture area. on mouseUp set the blendlevel of stack "untitled 3" to 50 set the loc of stack "untitled 3" to the screenloc go stack "untitled 3" end mouseUp Untitled 3 is a stack with

Hi, I've made a stack for the Raspi collection, that does the following: Creates a *resizable* rectangle frame (window shape of a non-opaque rectangle), currently set as systemWindow. You can drag that around the screen and trigger a small button on the frame. Then a screenshot of the visible

Re: snapshot and animation capture

Richmond, "import" of the error message relates to the rect (see the wording in the dictionary), so char 1 means the superfluous quote (as Dame jacque says). Whatever you test here, you could use 'from rect of this card' or 'from rect of img "border.png"' if you wish to have a local

Mark, oops, didn't scroll far enough. I found the link to Snapper, thanks. Scott, that's great, and thanks for putting that post and stack up so fast. It's a little laggy on my system when it resizes quickly or gets to around 750 pixels. Is it the same on yours? Is there a way to control other

Re: snapshot and animation capture

Regarding lagginess: yes. I can't say for sure, but if the LiveCode guys could enable the windowShape property to work with images that have centerRect dimensions, this would eliminate the need to do any image exporting and potentially make drawing of the window faster. I've suggested for years

Re: snapshot and animation capture

About that, is there a way to save the rectangle that the user draws manually using the crosshairs? With that I could at least capture the same rectangle again automatically. I suppose all I really need is a way for the user to define an area on the screen once and grab screenshots from that same

Re: snapshot and animation capture

As a concept, I thought it might be possible to detect the screenMouseLoc in a frontScript and use the resulting snapshot dimensions to determine the width/height of captured screen rect. Two problems though: 1) under 7.1.1 here on OS X 10.9.5, when executing just "import snapshot" the capture is

Re: snapshot and animation capture

What I'm working on now is putting a stack across the whole screen with a resizable rectangle on it. Then as long as the stack is transparent, or semi-transparent, the user can position the rectangle over what they want to capture. When they're done the stack coordinates can be converted into

Hi Matt: I have a method for a resizable masked window that requires LC7 -- I'll try to post something later today or tomorrow. As far as image animation goes, I have a very vague memory that LC used to be able to export animated GIF images, but that may have been static images only. You may

I need to be able to easily capture stuff the user is seeing on their screen so that they can import it into my application without having to navigate the file manager multiple times. There's some good screen capture stuff already in Livecode, but what I'm picturing is an actual window with a hole
