Now that Macs run Unix (OS X), IDL runs under X Windows. If I
understand the question correctly, its about grabbing images from the
screen.
If you want to copy bitmap graphics from an X window, you can use Grab
or some other screen capture tool. (Grab also grabs the window borders.
Duh.)
I don't bother with screen capture. I either TVREAD and then WRITE_PNG,
or, more commonly, write directly to Postscript.

P.S. Still hoping (obviously in vain), that they'll add full 24-bit
color support to the PS device driver.
