I don't know of any way to do this in IDL.
However there are a number of non-IDL ways to do it, depending on your
host platform. What platform are you using?

I use Hypersnap from Hyperionics. It was about $25, I think,
and extraordinarily well worth it!

I am using Irix 6.5 on a SGI O2. I was looking for a way to do it in
IDL. I looked into spawning snapshot in my code, but snapshot doesn't
accept any useful arguments such as the window position and size, thus
making it clumsy to use for this purpose.
