Capture on win: File

[Karnivore]

I noted that it is possible to use convert with the X11 interface as an input. Is the same true for Windows using the win: input, if so, how is it done and what options are supported (I.E. x:'root' = win:'name' ?)

ImageMagick does not permit native Window screen captures, it only captures a screen under Windows if you are running an X11 server.

ImageMagick does not permit native Window screen captures ...

Would it be difficult to implement?
ex: win:active, win:root/desktop, win:<window name>

Standard GDI bitmap capture should be relatively easy to implement. I could code this, but I think including it with this already robust package would be time better spent.

Any takers?

ImageMagick is open source and we accept patches from the user community. The best path forward would be to code up a solution as best you can and post the patch here. We will then put your patch in the ImageMagick source distribution for all to use.
