SYNOPSIS hxwd [-w window_id | -s delay] [-f filename] [-x x_delay] [-g format] [-n] [-v] DESCRIPTION hxwd is a program to dump a huge xwindow, that is, a window greater than one screen. however, it also works for smaller windows, i.e., those smaller than a screen. At beginning, hxwd raises the target window and move it to the (0,0) of the root window or virtual root window if it is under a virtual window manangement. If the target window is a huge window, hxwd will scan it screen by screen. This is to make the target part exposed. If it is a small one, hxwd will only scan once. During the scanning, hxwd will grab the mouse and keyboard input to avoid interfering. This is originally used to snapshot the Veritas Volumn Manager GUI window which has no built-in print option and sometimes bigger than a screen. OPTIONS -w window_id This option specifies the window id of the target window. User can use xwininfo(1) to get it. Without this option, hxwd will ask the user to select the window by mouse. Note: xwininfo(1) is not working well under tvtwm(1). -s delay The number of seconds before which the hxwd will be responsible for the mouse clicking. This gives time to the user to switch to another screen (if under virtual window manager) after he/she typed the command. The default is 0. -x x_delay Because the hxwd will expose the part of the window to be shot, this option gives time (unit: second) to the X server to map the content. Default is 1. For slow X server, this should be set longer. -f filename The image will be saved in filename. Default is "./junk". -g format Currently, it only supports "xwd" and "xpm" formats. Default "xwd". -n This will disable the compensition of wrapper frame of window manager. This should be seldom used. But if the output is messed up, applying this option may improve it. - 1 - Formatted: April 25, 2024 hxwd(1) Lucent Technologies hxwd(1) May 25 1997 -v This gives verbose output for debugging.
