Well here is another little function, that is similar to Tk's WinPhoto. It will take a jpg or png screenshot. It's faster than Tk::WinPhoto too.
#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use Glib qw/TRUE FALSE/; use Gtk2 '-init'; my $window = Gtk2::Window->new('toplevel'); $window->set_title('Screenshot'); $window ->signal_connect( 'destroy' => \&delete_event ); $window->set_border_width(10); #->set_size_request(300,200); $window->set_default_size(300,200); my $vbox = Gtk2::VBox->new( FALSE, 6 ); $vbox->set_size_request(0,0); $window->add($vbox); $vbox->set_border_width(2); my $hbox= Gtk2::HBox->new( FALSE, 6 ); $vbox->pack_end($hbox,FALSE,FALSE,0); $hbox->set_border_width(2); $vbox->pack_end (Gtk2::HSeparator->new, FALSE, FALSE, 0); my $button = Gtk2::Button->new_from_stock('gtk-quit'); $hbox->pack_end( $button, FALSE, FALSE, 0 ); $button->signal_connect( clicked => \&delete_event ); my $button1 = Gtk2::Button->new_from_stock('Screenshot'); $vbox->pack_start( $button1, FALSE, FALSE, 0 ); $button->signal_connect( clicked => \&screenshot ); $window->show_all(); Gtk2->main; ##################################### sub delete_event { Gtk2->main_quit; return FALSE; } ##################################### sub screenshot{ #we are going to save the entire mainwindow my ($width, $height) = $window->window->get_size; # create blank pixbuf to hold the image my $gdkpixbuf = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixbuf->new ('rgb', 0, 8, $width, $height); $gdkpixbuf->get_from_drawable ($window->window, undef, 0, 0, 0, 0, $width, $height); #only jpeg and png is supported !!!! it's 'jpeg', not 'jpg' $gdkpixbuf->save ("$0.jpg", 'jpeg', quality => 100); return FALSE; } # from "perldoc Gtk2::Gdk::Pixbuf" # $pixbuf->save ($filename, 'jpeg', quality => '100'); # Currently only a few parameters exist. JPEG images can be saved # with a "quality" parameter; its value should be in the range # [0,100]. Text chunks can be attached to PNG images by specifying # parameters of the form "tEXt::key", where key is an ASCII string of # length 1-79. The values are UTF-8 encoded strings.
