Do you want a screenshot of your widget program? I'm don't think you can
do that from within IDL, but any decent image viewer / editor (e.g.,
Irfan View on Windows) can take screenshots. If you can find a command
line tool (probably Image Magick has one) to capture the currently
active window, you can just spawn a call to that.

If you don't care about the exact widget layout but more about the
information in the widgets, you can just capture the draw widget with
TVREAD, print it and manually print the values from the text / label
widgets next to it (XYOUTS).

Good luck,
Benjamin
