extension_screenshot (v0.9.5 (2000/10/29))

NAME

extension_screenshot - Creates a screenshot of a single window or the whole screen

SYNOPSIS

image = extension_screenshot (run_mode,root,window_id)

DESCRIPTION

This extension serves as a simple frontend to the X-window utility xwd and the xwd-file-plug-in. After specifying some options, xwd is called, the user selects a window, and the resulting image is loaded into the gimp. Alternatively the whole screen can be grabbed. When called non-interactively it may grab the root window or use the window-id passed as a parameter.
