Sreenshot sofware running under HP-UX 11

[Christophe MESTDACH]

Hello,

I need to find a screenshot software running under HP-UX 11 and a freeware if possible.

Thanks in advance.

[Michael Elleby III_1]

Hmmm, what is it that you need a snapshot of?

Why not install Reflection X or Exceed, which will allow you to copy the screen to the clipboard for pasting or directly to a printer for printing?

The HP-supplied tools /opt/screencapture/bin/capture and
/usr/bin/X11/xwd ought to do what you want.

[Pete Randall]

I don't know what you want to do with your screen images but take a look at xwd: /usr/bin/X11/xwd and man xwd. This will capture an image of an X window for subsequent display or printing through xpr (/usr/contrib/bin/X11/xpr).

xwd is a defacto X-11R5+ tool for dumping screens. Used in conjunction with something like gimp, you can turn the x-window-dumps into tiff's, jpegs, bitmaps, etc...
If your not worried about proprietary code, then install the wt-tools from your application media. This includes HP screen capture software which does jped and tiff by default, plus xwd format.

I must write a document of installation for an application which I developed under HP-UX 11.

With this intention, I insert screenshots in the document.

PS : excuse-me for my bad english

[Shannon Petry]

If you want free and easy, then use screencapture for HP-UX or GIMP+xwd. You will need to install either, but I use them alot for similar reasons.

If money is not an object, Adobe FrameMaker for HP-UX is the way to go. You can write, spell check, format, and take on the fly screen shots and insert them in your doc's.

Hi

Cheap and easy.

Telnet to the server from a Windows machine.

When you want a screen shot :- shift+print screen.

Open almonst any MS app (word,excell,powerpoint) or graphics programme and then ctrl+v or select edit paste.

Hi,

Add some lines to your CDE-session's "Root Menu", then "right-mouse-click" into the background and click on "Print Window", whenever you want a "Print" of a window or "Print Screen" for the whole screen.
The procedure is:
01) cd # go home
02) cd .dt # your CDE session's memory
03) cp /usr/dt/config/C/sys.dtwmrc dtwmrc
04) # add the following lines to that file ($HOME/.dt/dtwmrc) into the "Root Menu" paragraph:
"Dump Window..." f.exec "my.dump.screen -frame"
"Dump Screen" f.exec "my.dump.screen -root"
05) store the following script somewhere in your $PATH:
#!/usr/bin/sh
# my.dump.screen: save windows/screens to disk
DIR=/tmp/screendumps
NUM=$DIR/.cnt
# create the directoy - if neccessary
if [ ! -d $DIR ]
then mkdir $DIR
echo 0 > $NUM
fi
# get the last number
if [ -s $DIR/.cnt ]
then n="$(cat $NUM)"
else n=0
fi
((n=n+1)
# save the next number
echo "$n" > $NUM
# save the window/screen
xwd $* > $DIR/dump.$n
exit 0
# end of script
06) give execute permission to that script

Now right-mouse click into your background and "Restart Workspace Manager".
Next time you do the right-mouse-click that menu should show the two "print" options.
The screen/window dumps (in "xwd" format) are to be found in "/tmp/screendumps/".

Find the script attached.

FWIW,
Wodisch


PS: Pete, DRUCKER_DFLT is german, of course - did you still not manage to learn it, after all these years? ;-)

[Wodisch]

Hi,

Find the ".dt/dtwmrc" attached.

FWIW,

Wodisch,

Still blissfully ignorant, thankyou!

Hi,
Try ImageMagick ! It works very well for me under HP-UX-11.00 and it's FREE :-) You can make your screenshot with PNG, TIFF, JPEG,... very easily.
It's a great software.

HTH,
