Hi

Any one have idea or direction how to capture the text CURRENTLY shown
in a window under X.
For example what text netscape CURRENTLY show (view able).

Is there an X component that can be queried  for such information, or
maybe memory segment ?

Docs and hints are welcomed :)

If you want to capture the whole screen(including all the windows +
 the main windows)

type:
# xwd -root -out dumpfile.out
 

to capture only a single window type:
# xwd -out dumpfile.xwd

and then click the changed cursor on the window you want to capture!!
 

at last you can convert this format to whatever format
you want with the "convert" util:

# convert dumpfile.xwd rasta.jpeg



references:

man xwd

man convert

cheers
