Dear Dr. Fanning,
Thank you very much for your instruction. After reading your Ximage
program, I figured out that I missed the line:
image2D = color_quan(snapshot, 1, r, g, b)
now the captured picture is exactly the same as they are shown on the
screen.
Thanks again and have a terrrrrific nice day!
Songtao

Oh, right. For some reason, when you create 24-bit color BMP
files, Microsoft wants them in the form of BGR rather than RGB.
(Don't ask me, I don't have the foggiest idea.)
So just flip your red and blue image planes and you will
be good to go. I typically avoid this problem by writing
8-bit BMP files with color tables. See my XImage program,
for example.
Cheers,
David

Dear Dr. Fanning,
I write the captured screen images to a bmp file and when I look at
the bmp file, I found the color is not what it looks like on the
screen.
It is just a simple widget program, with several object graphic
windows, each display an image and ROIs(draw with plot object).
Followings are the codes to capture the screen display and write them
to the disk
;capture the window display
draw_id -> getProperty, image_data = data
;write to file
write_bmp, filename, data
Thank,
Songtao

What makes you think the color of the captured
screen image is not correct? What are you doing
with the image? A little code, if you please. :-)
Cheers,
David
