Screen Capture with autoform in HPUX 11.00

[Ernesto, Arias]

Hello:
We have HPUX 11.00 of 64 bits kernel width in an HP J6000 , and we want make some screen captures on the software Autoform 3.04, when I make the capture the image appears moved or sometimes the capture is slight different of the original image. Somebody knows if is necessary some product or patch in order to perform properly this action?.
I'll be appreciate your help,
Regards
Ernesto

Hello Ernesto,

how do you make your screen captures?

Good, old "xwd"?
From a command-line?

Then I would recommend to use some "Key-Binding" for the "Window-Manager" to start it from a designated key or set of keys...

What format of saved picture do you need is the next question:
- is the classical "xwd" format ok, or do you need something like TIFF/GIF/JPEG/PNG?

Curious,
Wodisch

Hi Wodisch:
In answer to your questions : I make the capture executing the command:
#/opt/wt/bin/capture
Then appears a window and I choice the button Selected region and then press OK.
Next I select the region that I want to capture (in this case on the window area of autoform) and after a few moments , other dialog box is displayed and ask me for the name of the new image, I commonly write the name and the extension in this case filename.tif.
When I open the image with:
#/opt/wt/bin/imageview
The image appears with other parts who not belongs to the original capture or if I select another region and I overwrite the previous image (with the same name file), the image appears with the previous and the new area captured. So, I think that the capture works well, but maybe it need another patch or upgrade.
Again thanks for your help.
Regards,
Ernesto

Try using xwd -root -out output_image

use xwud -in output_image to view .... any better ? ... take a look also at the man page for xwd you can capture an area rather than the entire root window.

As to why the capture comand has problems... not sure ....could you elaborate on "slightly differnet" perhaps add an image as an attachment ?

Hi

Make sure you have the latest CDE patches



PHSS_23517 causes /opt/wt/bin/capture to fail.
