Do you mean like the "Print" button? For X windows use...

Code: Select all

convert x:root image.png

See IM Examples... X Windows Input

I myself use a shell script to save the the current window into a file, then jiggle to the window to say 'I'm done'
It works well for me

While running that command, it shows

Code: Select all

Magick: unable to open X server `': No such file or directory @ error/xwindow.c/XImportImage/4871.

x: is available for *nix only, if you are running windows then there is no such option, you'd have to go with one of the API's. (afaik, please correct if wrong)
