==imagemagick== [http://www.imagemagick.org/ imagemagick] is a collection of tools and libraries for image manipulation. Most distributions come with [http://www.imagemagick.org/ imagemagick]. Gentoo package: media-gfx/imagemagick To take a snapshot using Imagemagic: import -window root screenshot.png [/manpages/1/import.htm import manual page] ==xv== [http://www.trilon.com/xv/index.html xv] is another image manipulation program that can deal with almost all file formats. xv is not included in distributions installations, but packages are available for most.
Example usage: xv -grabdelay 2 myimage.jpg ==gimp== To grab an image of the screen or a program in [http://www.gimp.org/ Gimp]:
`File` -> `Acquire` -> `Screen shot` ==framebuffer console== Use [http://w1.827.telia.com/~u82705821/fbgrab/ fbgrab] to grab a screenshot in a framebuffer console. fbgrab filename.png ==kde== KDE comes with a handy program called `ksnapshot` that lets you with ease grab a screenshot of your desktop or a single window. ==scrot== [http://www.linuxbrit.co.uk/scrot/ scrot] is a small (66 kB) screen shot grabber based on imlib2. It has lots of options for autogenerating filenames, and can do fun stuff like taking screenshots of multiple displays and glueing them together. ''thanks to miztic for mentioning it'' ==xwd== xwd is a part of [http://www.xfree.org/ XFree], so chances are high you already have it installed. It can dump screenshots to .xwd files. This is not a common format. After taking a screenshot using `xwd -root -out test.xwd` the only programs I found capable of opening it were Gimp and `xwud`.
