170=head1 DESCRIPTION
171
172Imager::Screenshot captures either a desktop or a specified window and
173returns the result as an Imager image.
174
175Currently the image is always returned as a 24-bit image.
176
177=over
178
179=item screenshot hwnd => I<window handle>
180
181=item screenshot hwnd => I<window handle>, decor => <capture decorations>
182
183Retrieve a screenshot under Win32, if I<window handle> is zero,
184capture the desktop.
185
186By default, window decorations are not captured, if the C<decor>
187parameter is set to true then window decorations are included.
188
189=item screenshot id => I<window id>
190
191=item screenshot id => I<window id>, display => I<display object>
192
193Retrieve a screenshot under X11, if I<id> is zero, capture the root
194window. I<display object> is a integer version of an X11 C< Display *
195>, if this isn't supplied C<screenshot()> will attempt connect to the
196the display specified by $ENV{DISPLAY}.

198Note: taking a screenshot of a remote display is slow.
199
0cc0b6d7
TC
200=item screenshot darwin => 0
201
202Retrieve a screenshot under Mac OS X. The only supported value for
203the C<darwin> parameter is C<0>.
204
205For a screen capture to be taken, the current user using
206Imager:Screenshot must be the currently logged in user on the display.
207
208If you're using fast user switching, the current user must be the
209active user.
210
211Note: this means you can ssh into a Mac OS X box and screenshot from
212the ssh session, if you're the current user on the display.

215
216=item screenshot widget => I<widget>, display => I<display>
217
218=item screenshot widget => I<widget>, decor => I<capture decorations>
219
220Retrieve a screenshot of a Tk widget, under Win32 or X11, depending on
221how Tk has been built.
222
223If Tk was built for X11 then the display parameter applies.
224
225If Tk was built for Win32 then the decor parameter applies.

228
9d2a775a 229If no C<id>, C<hwnd> or C<widget> parameter is supplied:
967e4c21
TC
230
231=over
232
233=item *
234
235if Win32 support is compiled, return screenshot(hwnd => 0).
236
237=item *
238
0cc0b6d7
TC
239if Darwin support is compiled, return screenshot(darwin => 0).
240
241=item *
242
967e4c21
TC
243if X11 support is compiled, return screenshot(id => 0).
244
245=item *
246
247otherwise, die.
248
249=back
250

251You can also supply the following parameters to retrieve a subset of
252the window:
253
254=over
255
256=item *
257
258left
259
260=item *
261
262top
263
264=item *
265
266right
267
268=item *
269
270bottom
271
272=back
273
274If left or top is negative, then treat that as from the right/bottom
275edge of the window.
276
277If right ot bottom is zero or negative then treat as from the
278right/bottom edge of the window.
279
280So setting all 4 values to 0 retrieves the whole window.
281
282 # a 10-pixel wide right edge of the window
283 my $right_10 = screenshot(left => -10, ...);
284
285 # the top-left 100x100 portion of the window
286 my $topleft_100 = screenshot(right => 100, bottom => 100, ...);
287
288 # 10x10 pixel at the bottom right corner
289 my $bott_right_10 = screenshot(left => -10, top => -10, ...);

291If screenshot() fails, it will return nothing, and the cause of the
292failure can be retrieved via Imager->errstr, so typical use could be:
293
294 my $img = screenshot(...) or die Imager->errstr;
295

296=item have_win32
297
298Returns true if Win32 support is available.
299
300=item have_x11
301
302Returns true if X11 support is available.
303
0cc0b6d7
TC
304=item have_darwin
305
306Returns true if Darwin support is available.

TC
308=item Imager::Screenshot::x11_open
309
310=item Imager::Screenshot::x11_open I<display name>
311
312Attempts to open a connection to either the display name in
313$ENV{DISPLAY} or the supplied display name. Returns a value suitable
314for the I<display> parameter of screenshot, or undef.
315
316=item Imager::Screenshot::x11_close I<display>
317
318Closes a display returned by Imager::Screenshot::x11_open().

322=head1 TAGS
323
324screenshot() sets a number of tags in the images it returns, these are:
325
326=over
327
328=item *
329
330ss_left - the distance between the left side of the window and the
331left side of the captured area. The same value as the I<left>
332parameter when that is positive.
333
334=item *
335
336ss_top - the distance between the top side of the window the top side
337of the captured area. The same value at the I<top> parameter when
338that is positive.
339
340=item *
341
342ss_window_width - the full width of the window.
343
344=item *
345
346ss_window_height - the full height of the window.
347
348=item *
349
350ss_type - the type of capture done, either "Win32" or "X11".
351
352=back
353
354To cheaply get the window size you can capture a single pixel:
355
356 my $im = screenshot(right => 1, bottom => 1);
357 my $window_width = $im->tags(name => 'ss_window_width');
358 my $window_height = $im->tags(name => 'ss_window_height');

TC
360=head1 CAVEATS
361
362It's possible to have more than one grab driver available, for
363example, Win32 and X11, and which is used can have an effect on the
364result.
365
0cc0b6d7
TC
366Under Win32 or OS X, if there's a screesaver running, then you grab
367the results of the screensaver.
368
369On OS X, you can grab the display from an ssh session as long as the
370ssh session is under the same user as the currently active user on the
371display.
87cd516f
TC
372
373Grabbing the root window on a rootless server (eg. Cygwin/X) may not
62b84c46
TC
374grab the background that you see. In fact, when I tested under
375Cygwin/X I got the xterm window contents even when the Windows
376screensaver was running. The root window captured appeared to be that
377generated by my window manager.
87cd516f 378
54f11a66
TC
379Grabbing a window with other windows overlaying it will capture the
380content of those windows where they hide the window you want to
381capture. You may want to raise the window to top. This may be a
382security concern if the overlapping windows contain any sensitive
383information - true for any screen capture.

397window name searches - currently screenshot() requires a window
398identifier of some sort, it would be more usable if we could supply
399some other identifier, either a window title or a window class name.
