<title
>Capturar unha pantalla</title>

<para
>O &ksnapshot; toma unha imaxe do escritorio completo cando se inicia, mais antes de aparecer na pantalla. Isto permite crear rapidamente unha imaxe de toda a pantalla.</para>

<para
>The snapshot taken by &ksnapshot; is displayed in the preview window, which is located in the upper left of the &ksnapshot; application window. Below is an example of the preview window from &ksnapshot;. Your preview will differ depending on what you have displayed on the desktop.</para>

<mediaobject>
<imageobject>
<imagedata fileref="preview.png" format="PNG"/>
</imageobject>
<textobject
><phrase
>Xanela de previsualización do &ksnapshot;</phrase>
</textobject>
</mediaobject>

<para
>The snapshot can be saved by clicking on the <guibutton
>Save As...</guibutton
> button. This opens the standard &kde; save dialog, where you can choose the filename, the folder location, and the format that your snapshot will be saved in. If multiple snapshots are taken, the filename is automatically incremented to prevent you from overwriting previous snapshots. You may however edit the filename to anything you wish, including the name of a previously saved snapshot. </para>

<para
>To take a snapshot of a single window, select the <guilabel
>Window Under Cursor</guilabel
> combo box entry (next to the <guilabel
>Capture mode</guilabel
> label), and then click on the <guibutton
>New Snapshot</guibutton
> button.</para>

<para
>Depending on your <guilabel
>Snapshot delay</guilabel
> settings you get either a cross as the mouse pointer (for <guilabel
>No delay</guilabel
>), or a standard mouse cursor which you can use to work with a program until the delay is over and a snapshot is taken.</para>

<para
>Con <guilabel
>Sen retardo</guilabel
>, a imaxe tómase inmediatamente despois de premer unha xanela.</para>

<para
>&ksnapshot; will display the new snapshot in the preview area, at which time you can choose to save the new image (by pressing <guibutton
>Save As...</guibutton
>) or to grab a new one, by pressing the <guibutton
>New Snapshot</guibutton
> button.</para>

<para
>To take a new snapshot of the entire desktop, select the <guilabel
>Full Screen</guilabel
> combo box entry and then click on the <guibutton
>New Snapshot</guibutton
> button. &ksnapshot; will now capture the entire desktop if you press <guibutton
>New Snapshot</guibutton
>.</para>

<para
>Similarly, to take a snapshot of a region, select the <guilabel
>Region</guilabel
> combo box entry and set the <guilabel
>Snapshot delay</guilabel
> to <guilabel
>No delay</guilabel
>, and then click on the <guibutton
>New Snapshot</guibutton
> button. The mouse cursor will then change into a cross, and you can then use the mouse to select the region you want to capture. To take the snapshot press the &Enter; key or double click. Press &Esc; to quit.</para>

<para
>To take a new snapshot of a section of a window, select the <guilabel
>Section of Window</guilabel
> combo box entry and then click on the <guibutton
>New Snapshot</guibutton
> button. With <guilabel
>No delay</guilabel
> you get a cross as the mouse pointer and you have to click once with the &LMB; into the window. The section of the window under the mouse cursor is now highlighted with a red border. Move the mouse to the wanted section and click the &LMB; to capture the screenshot. </para>

<para
>If you have multiple screens, <guilabel

</para>

<sect1 id="dcop-settings">

<title
>&DCOP; Access to Settings</title>

<para
>For each of the settings that you can control with the
&GUI;, you can both obtain the current status of that setting,
and modify the setting, using &DCOP;.
</para>

<para
>You can obtain the current capture mode using 
<literal
>grabMode</literal
>, as shown below:
<screen width="60"
>
<prompt>$</prompt> <command>dcop ksnapshot-23151 interface grabMode</command>
</screen>
This will return <computeroutput
>0</computeroutput
> for full-screen capture,
<computeroutput
>1</computeroutput
> for window capture, and <computeroutput
>2</computeroutput>
for region capture.
</para>

<para
>You can set the capture mode using <literal
>setGrabMode</literal
>,
which requires an argument to identify the mode required (as for <literal
>grabMode</literal
>).
So you can set window capture mode (<command
>1</command
>), using:
<screen width="60"
>
<prompt>$</prompt> <command>dcop ksnapshot-23151 interface setGrabMode 1</command>
</screen>
</para>

<para
>You can obtain the current timeout setting (the <guilabel
>Snapshot delay:</guilabel>
&GUI; item) using <literal
>timeout</literal
>, as shown below:
<screen width="60"
>
<prompt>$</prompt> <command>dcop ksnapshot-23151 interface timeout</command>
</screen>
This will return the timeout setting in seconds, or zero if there is no delay
(capture on click).
</para>

<para
>You can set the timeout using <literal
>setTime</literal
>,
which requires an argument to identify the timeout duration. So you can
set a delay of 4 seconds using:
<screen width="60"
>
<prompt>$</prompt> <command>dcop ksnapshot-23151 interface setTime 4</command>
</screen>
</para>

<para
>You can obtain the path that the snapshot will be saved to using 
<literal
>url</literal
>, as shown below:
<screen width="60"
>
<prompt>$</prompt><command>dcop ksnapshot-23151 interface url</command>
</screen>
This will return the filename, as a &URL; (eg as 
<computeroutput
>file:///home/bradh/test2.png</computeroutput
>).
</para>

<para
>You can set the path using <literal
>setURL</literal
>,
which requires a string argument to identify the new path. So you can
set the path to <literal
>file:///home/bradh/snapshot.jpg</literal>
using:
<screen width="60"
>
<prompt>$</prompt> <command>dcop ksnapshot-23151 interface setURL file:///home/bradh/snapshot.jpg</command>
</screen>
</para>

</sect1>

<sect1 id="dcop-snapshot">
<title
>Taking Screenshots with &DCOP;</title>

<para>
The key to taking screenshots with &DCOP; is use of <literal
>slotGrab</literal
>,
as shown below:
<screen width="60"
>
<prompt>$</prompt> <command>dcop ksnapshot-23151 interface slotGrab</command>
</screen>
</para>

<para>
This will take a snapshot using the current snapshot mode and timeout settings
(as described above). If you want to save the snapshot image, there are a
number of calls you can use. If you just want to save the image to the current
path (as returned by <literal
>url</literal
> or changed by
<literal
>setURL</literal
>), you can use <literal
>slotSave</literal
>, as shown
below:
<screen width="60"
>
<prompt>$</prompt> <command>dcop ksnapshot-23151 interface slotSave</command>
</screen>
</para>

<para>
If you want the user to be able to specify a filename (and path), you can use
<literal
>slotSaveAs</literal
>, which will bring up a standard &kde; file
save dialog.</para>

<para>
If you want to save the image to a different name (or path) without
changing the path with <literal
>setURL</literal
>, you can use
<literal
>save</literal
>, providing the &URL; to save to as an argument. So if you
want to save the snapshot to <filename
>file:///tmp/tempshot.png</filename
>, you
can do the following:
<screen width="60"
>
<prompt>$</prompt> <command>dcop ksnapshot-23151 interface save file:///tmp/tempshot.png</command>
</screen>
Note that this will return true if the snapshot was successfully saved, and false
otherwise. Also, you should be aware that if the file already exists, the user
will get a standard &kde; dialog that requires the user to decide whether to overwrite
or not.
</para>

<para>
In addition to saving the snapshot, you can also copy it to the clipboard, using 
<literal
>slotCopy</literal
>, as shown below:
<screen width="60"
>
<prompt>$</prompt> <command>dcop ksnapshot-23151 interface slotCopy</command>
</screen>
</para>

<para>
If you need to select a window that may not be under the mouse cursor, you
can use <literal
>slotMovePointer</literal
>, passing the x position
(in screen pixels) and the y position (also in screen pixels) as arguments.
So to move the mouse to the top left hand corner of the screen (0,0), you
can do the following:
<screen width="60"
>
<prompt>$</prompt> <command>dcop ksnapshot-23151 interface slotMoveMouse 0 0</command>
</screen>
</para>
</sect1>

<sect1 id="dcop-print">
<title
>Printing Screenshots with &DCOP;</title>

<para>
You can print the current screenshot (which may or may not have been saved)
using <literal
>printSlot</literal
>, as shown below:
<screen width="60"
>
<prompt>$</prompt> <command>dcop ksnapshot-23151 interface slotPrint</command>
</screen>
</para>

<para>
Note that this will bring up the normal &kde; print dialog, which may require
user interaction.
</para>

</sect1>

<sect1 id="dcop-exit">
<title
>&DCOP; Application control</title>

<para>
You can cause &ksnapshot; to exit by using <literal
>exit</literal
>,
as shown below.
<screen width="60"
>
<prompt>$</prompt> <command>dcop ksnapshot-23151 interface exit</command>
</screen>
