I personally like the Mac's built in Grab utility, which works
very well for me. It lets you select a rectangle to copy, or
a window to copy, or a timed window, or the whole screen.
I keep it on my Dock and use it frequently. It saves files
as tiff files, but then you can bring the file up in Preview
(which is also keep on the Dock) and save it in virtually
any format you want. I usually convert them to jpegs this
way, for posting on the web. I also have my Dock set up
to only show up when I move the mouse to the bottom of
the screen, so it doesn't take up screen real estate or
show up on full screen captures or the like.

Merle,
Thanks. But xwd -screen really ought to work. The shift-command-4
method
isn't so good for me because if I use the shift bar to select the
entire
window I don't get overlapping windows (which I want) and I do get the
Quartz title bar (which I don't want), so I have to click-and-drag,
which
is more fiddly.

Rob.
On the Mac, use shift-command-4. That will give you cross-hairs
that you
can click and drag to create the enveloping rectangle, of if you
want an
entire window, hit the shift bar and the entire window will be
selected.
That will save as a png file. Works with Mac native AND xwindows
as well.

xwd creates perfectly good window snapshots unless I specify the -

option. With -screen, I get snapshots that looks like TV
interference.
Unfortunately, I need -screen for a figure in a manual that shows a
window with another dialogue window on top of it. I have done it
on a
Linux box now, but it would be nice if it worked on my Mac too.

Rob.
