171=head1 DESCRIPTION
172
173Imager::Screenshot captures either a desktop or a specified window and
174returns the result as an Imager image.
175
176Currently the image is always returned as a 24-bit image.

TC
186Retrieve a screenshot under Win32, if I<window handle> is zero,
187capture the desktop.
188
189By default, window decorations are not captured, if the C<decor>
190parameter is set to true then window decorations are included.
191
6f00ec2f
TC
192As of 0.010 hwnd can also be C<"active"> to capture the active (or
193"foreground") window.
194
195=item screenshot hwnd => 0
196
197Retrieve a screeshot of the default desktop under Win32.
198

6f00ec2f
TC
200
201Retrieve a screenshot of all attached monitors under Win32.
202
203Note: this returns an image with an alpha channel, since there can be
204regions in the bounding rectangle of all monitors that no particular
205monitor covers.
206
0690a451 207=item screenshot hwnd => 0, monitor => I<index>
6f00ec2f
TC
208
209Retrieve a screenshot from a particular monitor under Win32. A
0690a451
TC
210I<monitor> of zero is always treated as the primary monitor.
211
212If the given monitor is not active screenshot() will fail.

TC
214=item screenshot id => I<window id>
215
216=item screenshot id => I<window id>, display => I<display object>
217
218Retrieve a screenshot under X11, if I<id> is zero, capture the root
219window. I<display object> is a integer version of an X11 C< Display *
220>, if this isn't supplied C<screenshot()> will attempt connect to the
221the display specified by $ENV{DISPLAY}.

TC
223Note: taking a screenshot of a remote display is slow.
224
0cc0b6d7
TC
225=item screenshot darwin => 0
226
227Retrieve a screenshot under Mac OS X. The only supported value for
228the C<darwin> parameter is C<0>.
229
230For a screen capture to be taken, the current user using
231Imager:Screenshot must be the currently logged in user on the display.
232
233If you're using fast user switching, the current user must be the
234active user.
235
236Note: this means you can ssh into a Mac OS X box and screenshot from
237the ssh session, if you're the current user on the display.

240
241=item screenshot widget => I<widget>, display => I<display>
242
243=item screenshot widget => I<widget>, decor => I<capture decorations>
244
245Retrieve a screenshot of a Tk widget, under Win32 or X11, depending on
246how Tk has been built.
247
248If Tk was built for X11 then the display parameter applies.
249
250If Tk was built for Win32 then the decor parameter applies.
251

TC
252=item screenshot
253
9d2a775a 254If no C<id>, C<hwnd> or C<widget> parameter is supplied:
967e4c21
TC
255
256=over
257
258=item *
259
260if Win32 support is compiled, return screenshot(hwnd => 0).
261
262=item *
263
0cc0b6d7
TC
264if Darwin support is compiled, return screenshot(darwin => 0).
265
266=item *
267
967e4c21
TC
268if X11 support is compiled, return screenshot(id => 0).
269
270=item *
271
272otherwise, die.
273
274=back
275

TC
276You can also supply the following parameters to retrieve a subset of
277the window:
278
279=over
280
281=item *
282
283left
284
285=item *
286
287top
288
289=item *
290
291right
292
293=item *
294
295bottom
296
297=back
298
299If left or top is negative, then treat that as from the right/bottom
300edge of the window.
301
302If right ot bottom is zero or negative then treat as from the
303right/bottom edge of the window.
304
305So setting all 4 values to 0 retrieves the whole window.
306
307 # a 10-pixel wide right edge of the window
308 my $right_10 = screenshot(left => -10, ...);
309
310 # the top-left 100x100 portion of the window
311 my $topleft_100 = screenshot(right => 100, bottom => 100, ...);
312
313 # 10x10 pixel at the bottom right corner
314 my $bott_right_10 = screenshot(left => -10, top => -10, ...);
315

TC
316If screenshot() fails, it will return nothing, and the cause of the
317failure can be retrieved via Imager->errstr, so typical use could be:
318
319 my $img = screenshot(...) or die Imager->errstr;
320
967e4c21
TC
321=item have_win32
322
323Returns true if Win32 support is available.
324
325=item have_x11
326
327Returns true if X11 support is available.
328
0cc0b6d7
TC
329=item have_darwin
330
331Returns true if Darwin support is available.
332
967e4c21
TC
333=item Imager::Screenshot::x11_open
334
335=item Imager::Screenshot::x11_open I<display name>
336
337Attempts to open a connection to either the display name in
338$ENV{DISPLAY} or the supplied display name. Returns a value suitable
339for the I<display> parameter of screenshot, or undef.
340
341=item Imager::Screenshot::x11_close I<display>
342
343Closes a display returned by Imager::Screenshot::x11_open().
344

TC
347=head1 TAGS
348
349screenshot() sets a number of tags in the images it returns, these are:
350
351=over
352
353=item *
354
355ss_left - the distance between the left side of the window and the
356left side of the captured area. The same value as the I<left>
357parameter when that is positive.
358
359=item *
360
361ss_top - the distance between the top side of the window the top side
362of the captured area. The same value at the I<top> parameter when
363that is positive.
364
365=item *
366
367ss_window_width - the full width of the window.
368
369=item *
370
371ss_window_height - the full height of the window.
372
373=item *
374
375ss_type - the type of capture done, either "Win32" or "X11".
376
377=back
378
379To cheaply get the window size you can capture a single pixel:
380
381 my $im = screenshot(right => 1, bottom => 1);
382 my $window_width = $im->tags(name => 'ss_window_width');
383 my $window_height = $im->tags(name => 'ss_window_height');
384

TC
385=head1 CAVEATS
386
387It's possible to have more than one grab driver available, for
388example, Win32 and X11, and which is used can have an effect on the
389result.
390
0cc0b6d7
TC
391Under Win32 or OS X, if there's a screesaver running, then you grab
392the results of the screensaver.
393
394On OS X, you can grab the display from an ssh session as long as the
395ssh session is under the same user as the currently active user on the
396display.
87cd516f
TC
397
398Grabbing the root window on a rootless server (eg. Cygwin/X) may not
62b84c46
TC
399grab the background that you see. In fact, when I tested under
400Cygwin/X I got the xterm window contents even when the Windows
401screensaver was running. The root window captured appeared to be that
402generated by my window manager.
87cd516f 403
54f11a66
TC
404Grabbing a window with other windows overlaying it will capture the
405content of those windows where they hide the window you want to
406capture. You may want to raise the window to top. This may be a
407security concern if the overlapping windows contain any sensitive
408information - true for any screen capture.

422window name searches - currently screenshot() requires a window
423identifier of some sort, it would be more usable if we could supply
424some other identifier, either a window title or a window class name.
