Anyone know a relaible way of screen capture using THERM?

[pete warm]

I often get really frustrated by THERM's ability to start repainting the screen just as I am trying to capture the image.

Mostly this is with colour rainbows such as displaying Flux or Temperature colours

I use the windows snipping tool, as it allows the exact area to be selected, but it is now only working 2/3 the time.

I have tried SNAGIT with a very long delay (>45 secs), which is OK but boring

Previously I did a complete screen shot (Cntrl-PrtScrn) and cropping the image afterwards, but this is a pain.

Anybody got ideas?

Many Thanks

Hi Pete

I struggle with this too, have found marginally less annoying to hit print screen on the keyboard, and crop than to trigger the re-drawing thing, but I agree it'd be nice to be able to export graphics in such a way as to get consistent aspect ratios etc. Maybe Robin can put this on the feature request list.

Pete, 

Once you start the snip tool and the graphics start to re-load, press escape.  Let therm generate what ever graphic representation you are trying to achieve, and then try another screen capture. 

Hope this helps!
