Getting a screenshot or Window dump
To take a screenshot of the screen, you can press the "Print Screen"
button on your keyboard, assuming you have not disabled the Gnome
Panel (which is the bar at the bottom of your screen by deafult). If
you have disabled it, you can get the same results by running:
gnome-panel-screenshot
This will let you save a screenshot in .png format. To convert the
file to other formats, then use:
On Linux:
convert screenshot.png screenshot.otherformat
On Solaris:
add graphics; imconvert screenshot.png screenshot.otherformat
where otherformat is the extension of the file format you wish to
convert to. For example, if you wanted to print the screenshot, you
would use screenshot.ps to generate a Postscript file that you could
then print with lpr.
If you want to get a screenshot of a window instead of the entire
screen, you can use xv, located in the graphics locker. To run it:
add graphics; xv &
Right-click the window that appears to get a control menu, then click
the "Grab" button. Follow the instructions given, and then click Save
to save the image.
