escr

About

This tool allows to take a screen shot of the Emacs' frames, windows and regions directly from the GNU Emacs.

Usage

• Use escr-frame-screenshot command to take a screen shot of the current frame.

• Use escr-window-screenshot command to take a screen shot of the current window.

• Use escr-region-screenshot command to take a screen shot of the current region.

Customization

Set escr-exclude-fringes to t if you want to exclude fringes from a screen shot. This variable does work only for escr-region-screenshot.

Set escr-screenshot-width to nil if you want to take a screen shot of current window width. And set to integer value if you want limit screen shot to the number of maximum column. This variable does work only for escr-region-screenshot.

Set escr-screenshot-directory to any directory where you would like screen shots to be stored. Default directory is "~/.emacs.d/screenshots/". If directory doesn't exist you'll be prompted to create that directory.

Change escr-screenshot-format to the desired filename format. Default is %Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S.png (Read format-time-string documentation for details).

Set escr-screenshot-quality to desired image quality. Default is 100 (maximum image quality).

Installation

Note: This package depends on ImageMagick import command-line tool. Install ImageMagick first (import is a part of it).

Assuming that the file escr.el is somewhere on the load path, add the following lines to your .emacs file:

(require 'escr)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c C-e r") 'escr-region-screenshot)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c C-e f") 'escr-frame-screenshot)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c C-e w") 'escr-window-screenshot)

Change the key bindings to your liking.
