Snapping a Window

You can take snapshots of windows and icons following these steps:

  1. Make sure the window or icon you want to snap is completely visible.

    If the window or icon to be snapped is partially obscured by overlapping windows, the overlapping windows are included in the snapshot.

  2. Click SELECT on the Snap Type Window setting.

  3. Set the Snap Delay and Beep During Countdown settings if you want to use them.

  4. If you want to hide Snapshot during the capture operation, click SELECT on the Hide Window During Capture setting.

  5. Click SELECT on the Snap button.

    The Snap button displays the standard busy pattern and a message is displayed in the footer.

  6. Move the pointer into the header of the window you want to snap and click SELECT to start the snapshot.

    To cancel the operation, click either the ADJUST or MENU mouse buttons. When the pointer is anywhere in the window, the entire window is snapped, including the header and footer.

    When the snapshot is complete, a message is displayed in the footer of the Snapshot window telling you that the Snap succeeded. You can now save or view your snapshot. For information on saving your snapshot, refer to Chapter 1, Introduction to the Solaris User Environment. For information on viewing your image with Image Tool, refer to Chapter 13, Image Tool.
