capture a part of the screen

Hi,
How do i take a screenshot or capture a part of the screen with the imagemagick?

It depends on your platform: Windows, Unix or whatever.

On Windows, I do it via the clipboard. Hit the PrtSc key, then:

Code: Select all

convert clipboard: out.png

I later version of ImageMagick you can do the following on both Windows and *nix:

Code: Select all

convert screenshot: out.png

Ah, yes, I'd forgotten "screenshot:". It isn't mentioned on http://www.imagemagick.org/script/formats.php . Could someone add it to the page, please?
