How to change the interface window into image file

[szhiyong]

Hi,

I want to change my interface window into image file in the hp/ux 10.20, so I can print the interface image and edit it.

Would someone please tell me how to do it?

Thanks.

Hi,

You'll have to give us some more information !

What 'interface window' are you talking about ? Is it some window within CDE ? or an application of yours ?

When I want to "capture" a screen, I used Exceed from my PC and do a ctrl-print, then open something like word and paste it.

Hi,Andrew and Harry,

Thanks for your reply. I mean to capture the screen on the CDE.

Is there some way to capture the screen on the CDE by command?

Hi,

you can install xv which can capture screen windows and save in various formats.
You can get it here:

Xv is one such tool, /opt/screencapture/bin/capure is another but I think it's installed as part of the mpower /imageview products (purchaseable). xwd/xwud is another (see man pages) and also you *could* get away with using CDE's icon editor .... it has a screencapture function.

One other point to note if you are trying to capture the CDE login screen you'd need to edit the resource : /etc/dt/config/Xconfig : Dtlogin*Grabserver : False (copy of file exists in /usr/dt/config).

try
xwd to do an x window dump.

very easy
echo $DISPLAY
make sure it's good.. as usual..

xwd -root -out filename.xwd

click
beep beep.

to view it: xw undump

xwud -in filename.xwd

lots of image converters will convert it, such as imagemagic. But you should be able to print that no problem...

Later,
Bill
