shutterbug - screen snapshot application
SYNOPSIS
shutterbug
DESCRIPTION
Shutterbug is a simple screen snapshot application inspired by SGI
Snapshot.
The user interface of Shutterbug consists of a single, unobstrusive
icon. All functions in Shutterbug are invoked by right-clicking on
this icon, which will bring up a popup menu. A red rectangle identi‐
fies the area of the screen being captured.
IDENTIFYING THE SCREEN AREA
The screen capture area is identified by a red rectangle. The capture
area can be moved around by right-mouse dragging, or by holding the
shift- or control key during left-mouse dragging. The size of the rec‐
tangle can be changed by dragging on one of the four sides or on the
corners.
The capture area can also be set to a predefined, fixed size. In that
case the rectangle can not be resized, but only dragged to a specific
position.
INVOKING COMMANDS
To invoke the menu, right-click on the Shutterbug application icon.
Snap This command snaps a screen shot and brings up the file panel to
save the image to file.
Show Lasso
This command hides the red lasso identifying the capture area.
Size Brings up a submenu with a number of predefined capture area
sizes. Selecting Custom will enable arbitrary capture area
selection.
Weight This submenu can be used to change the line width of the capture
area lasso rectangle.
Lines inside
Causes the lines to be inside, rather than outside the capture
area rectangle. This can be more accurate for small images.
Color Brings up the Color Dialog to change the color of the lasso rec‐
tangle. The default color is red.
About Pops up the About Dialog which gives the version number and
other information about Shutterbug.
Quit Terminates the program.
