Re: [Gnash-dev] Enhancement suggestion for GNASH

[Dimitri Turbiner]

You can already do this with a simple series of X commands.

Use xwd to grab the contents of the window and pipe that through image 
files converters to get whatever formate you desire.

Eg: xwd -nobrdrs (this is to get only the contents of the window, 
without the WM decorators) |xwdtopnm | pnmtojpeg
