Python screenshot

[Arjun Thekkummadathil]

Hi

   Anyone knows any existing library or quick method to do a screenshot using python. I should be able to select a region to be screen grabbed. Am looking for an option on windows.

thanks

Arjun

There’s always trusty old Qt.

# From within Maya
import os
from PySide.QtGui import QPixmap, QApplication

app = QApplication.instance()
screenshot = QPixmap.grabWindow(app.desktop().winId())
screenshot.save(os.path.expanduser("~/screenshot.jpg"), "jpg")

It can do regions too.

I knew I needed to take a look at taking screenshots when this was originally posted and had saved Marcus’ excellent snippet for now. I just noticed Pixmap.grabWindow has been replaced by QScreen.grabWindow in Qt5 (PySide2/PyQt5).

So since Pixmap.grabWindow has been marked as “obsolete” you may want to take not of that: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qpixmap-obsolete.html

I did figure out a way using PyQt, where I launch the UI in full screen and 100% transparent and use QRubberband for selection region

Anybody has this for maya2017?

This code just blinks for nanosecond and does nothing...
