hallo List,
Please go easy on me, I'm a newbie. :-/
Is there a way to save the xglaresrc output images (the pics with the red circles) without doing some sort of screen capture?
I tried 'xglaresrc image.pic image.glr | tee image.out', which I was so hoping would work but of course didn't.
Thanks,
judy
Hi Judy,
In what way do you qualify as a "newbie??"
Unfortunately, there is no output facility from ximage. The only way to get the image is with a window capture. Fortunately, X11 has a utility for this, called xwd. If your image file were named "35b3", you could call the following command once it was up:
% xwd -name 35b3 -out 35b3.xwd
The xwd program looks up the window by name, then dumps its contents to the file 35b3.xwd. Unfortunately, none of the mainstream programs will recognize the little-used "X-window dump" format, so you'll have to load it into GraphicConverter or somesuch and save it out in a more conventional format.

you may try THE GIMP, there is a quick screen capture utility,
just click on the X11 window and the image is captured to Gimp.
Hope it works!
