You can save an image of the sliceOmatic window, specific display windows, one or multiples frames with this tool.
You first select the format for the snapshot. The choice is between Windows’ BMP format and TARGA. Each time you press the “Click!” button, the desired image(s) will be created.
f you selected "SliceO window", an image of the sliceOmatic program (the display area and the interface) will be saved to the "Pictures" directory (by default the “C:\Users\user_name\Pictures” directory). The image will be named “sliceO_xx.ext” where “ext” is either "tif", "png", "jpg", "gif", “bmp” or “tga” and “xx” is a sequential number assigned to the image upon creation. Unless you use the command line interface with the “file_name” option, the program cannot save more than 100 images (from 00 to 99).
By default, clicking the "Click" button grab the entire sliceOmatic window. If you use the script command "snapshot: [t_window] click [filename]" to capture an image, then the "t_window" parameter is a template for the display window that is capture. That way you can have a screen capture of just one of the display windows.
For example: "snapshot: 1 click" will grab only the content of the main display window.
If you selected "Selected Frames", then an image will be created for each selected frame. The images will be of the same resolution as the original frames and will show the original grey levels and TAG data in the currently selected display mode (Grey, Over, Mix...). The files will be saved in the same location as the TAG files are saved (by default, along with the original GLI image) but with the extension reflecting the selected image format (".tif", ".png", ".jpg"...). If an image with the same name already exist, it will be overwritten.
You can use the command "snapshot: [t_fram] frame [filename]" to save the frames to a different location.
If you use a lossy compression, they variable $SNAPSHOT_QUALITY control the compression level (1=poor,100=best).

Text commands defined in this tool:
Snapshot: Format (TIFF,PNG,JPEG,GIF,BMP|TARGA)
assign a value to the $SNAPSHOT_FORMAT variable that control the format used when creating the snapshot files. Supported formats are:
•TIFF ($SNAPSHOT_FORMAT=0)
•PNG ($SNAPSHOT_FORMAT=1)
•JPEG ($SNAPSHOT_FORMAT=2)
•GIF ($SNAPSHOT_FORMAT=3)
•BMP ($SNAPSHOT_FORMAT=4)
•TARGA ($SNAPSHOT_FORMAT=5)
Snapshot: [t_window] Click [file_name]
Create a "Snapshot" of a specific window (specified by the t_window template) or the complete interface (if no template is specified) and save it to the file "file_name". If "file_name" is not specified, the file will be save to the scratch directory using the name "sliceO_xx.yyy". Where xx is an increasing number from 00 to 99 and yy is the extension for the selected file format (".tif", ".png", ".jpg", ".gif", ".bmp" or ".tga").
Snapshot: [t_frame] Click [file_name]
Create a "Snapshot" of a the frames matching "t_frame". If "file_name" is not specified, the file will be save to the scratch directory using the name "sliceO_xx.yyy". Where xx is an increasing number from 00 to 99 and yy is the extension for the selected file format (".tif", ".png", ".jpg", ".gif", ".bmp" or ".tga").
