There are several ways to capture a screen shot on the X Window System. One way is to use the command import. Using import you could capture just a portion of the screen in X:
import results.jpg
then point and click the portions/cross hairs on the window to capture.
Meanwhile, to capture the entire X screen:
import -window root picture.jpg
To give you time to get ready, we could add a timer/pause:
import -pause 5 -window root picture.jpg
After 5 seconds you will be able to start selecting the captured portion.
To put sounds when the timer is done:
import -pause 5 -window root picture.jpg; play done.wav
You could also bring up an application instead of playing sounds to indicate that the timer/pause is done and the image was already captured:
import -pause 5 -window root picture.jpg; konsole
Another way to capture image is using GIMP. See the steps below to do so:
Run GIMP (e.g. gimp)
Go to the FILE menu -> choose Acquire
Click Screen Shot. From the Screen Shot window, you could select in the Grab section if its going to be Single Window or Whole Screen. You could also set timer in "Seconds Delay" to give you time to prepare any applications necessary |
