This is the script I use to capture screenshots from particular areas
*on* snapCaptureButtMouseUp pLine
*-- clicked in node details to capture a screenshot from the previously
committed captureArea rect*
*-- set the loc of stack "captureArea" to -1000,-1000*
*-- close stack "captureArea"*
*-- should already be closed*
*-- export snapshot from rect sCaptureAreaGeometry["captureAreaRect"] to
image "figureHolder" stack "nodeDetails"*
*put* the effective filename of this stack into tPath
*set* the itemDelimiter to slash
*put* "temp/screenshot.gif" into item -1 of tPath
*export* snapshot from rect sCaptureAreaGeometry["captureAreaRect"] to file
tPath as GIF
*set* the filename of image "figureHolder" stack "nodeDetails" to tPath
*-- size the image*
*put* the rect of field "editData" stack "NodeDetails" into tQuery["maxRect"
]
*put* the long id of image "figureHolder" stack "NodeDetails" into tQuery[
"longID"]
*put* fitImageToConstraint(tQuery) into tGimme
*set* the width of image "figureHolder" stack "NodeDetails" to tGimme[
"width"]
*set* the height of image "figureHolder" stack "NodeDetails" to tGimme[
"height"]
*set* the loc of image "figureHolder" stack "NodeDetails" to tGimme["center"
]
*-- the clear button can be show now*
*set* the visible of button "clearImgButt" stack "NodeDetails" to true
*set* the visible of button "expandImgButt" stack "NodeDetails" to true
*put* the cNodeDetails of stack "NodeDetails" into tDeets
*put* empty into tDeets[pLine]["new"]
*put* true into tDeets["newFigure"]
*-- put "screenshot" into tDeets[pLine]["new"]["copyFrom"]*
*put* tPath into tDeets[pLine]["new"]["copyFrom"]
*put* uuid("random") into tUUID
*put* tUUID & ".gif" into tDeets[pLine]["new"]["newName"]
*set* the cNodeDetails of stack "NodeDetails" to tDeets
*end* snapCaptureButtMouseUp
