xgrab - interactive front for xgrabsc, an X-Windows image
grabber

_x_g_r_a_b
DDDDEEEESSSSCCCCRRRRIIIIPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNN
_x_g_r_a_b lets you grab arbitrary rectangular images from an X
server and writes them to files or commands (such as lpr) in
a variety of formats.
_x_g_r_a_b is a front for the xgrabsc program. Read the man page
for _x_g_r_a_b_s_c for a description of the options presented by
xgrab.
After selecting options from the various categories
presented, press the _O_K button to have xgrab run xgrabsc to
let you grab an image from the screen. After you press _O_K,
xgrab's window will disappear and xgrabsc will gain control
until the grabbing process is finished. Afterwards, the
xgrab window will reappear.

Xgrab responds to the standard application options, such as
-_d_i_s_p_l_a_y. See the man page for _X for a complete list.
You can also override the default xgrab settings in your
.Xdefaults. See the examples section below for
instructions.

The XGrab resource file, XGrab.ad, contains a complete
specification of the resources of all the widgets used in
the xgrab window. Global resources, such as default font
and color, are at the bottom of the file.

The _T_o _C_o_m_m_a_n_d output option may be used to pipe xgrabsc
output to programs. The most common commands are _l_p_r for
Postscript output, and _x_w_u_d for X-Window Dump output.
Programs that do not accept piped input should not be used
in _T_o _C_o_m_m_a_n_d.
You can also get fancy and pipe the output through more than
one command, such as _t_e_e _s_c_r_e_e_n._d_m_p | _x_w_u_d, to store the

grabbed image and get a preview window.
Default settings for xgrab can be made in your .Xdefaults
file. For the Athena toolkit version of xgrab, Toggle
buttons can be set/unset through their ._s_t_a_t_e attribute, and
text field strings can be set through their *_s_t_r_i_n_g
attribute. For the Motif toolkit version (which has
diamond-shaped buttons for radio buttons), toggle buttons
can be set/unset through their ._s_e_t attribute and text field
strings can be set through their *_v_a_l_u_e attribute.
For example, to set the default paper size for postscript
output, put these lines in your .Xdefaults (and use xrdb to
load them into the server!):
XGrab*.pageWidthText*string: 8.5
XGrab*.pageHeightText*string: 11.0
or
XGrab*.pageWidthText*value: 8.5
XGrab*.pageHeightText*value: 10.0
To set the default output type to _X_W_D, put these lines in
your .Xdefaults:
XGrab*.ps.state: 0
XGrab*.xwd.state: 1
