[Scilab-users] How to print GUI window?

[P M]

Mh...
>From what I understnad is, that you want to get a print out from your
current GUI appearance.

As Samuel suggested, one workaround is to make a screenshot, by calling
IrfanView from Scilab.

The result is an image, that:
- can be printed out in a normal way...e.g. by use of IrfanView
- can be loaded into scilab (need maybe a toolbox) and printed directly
from scilab


Note:
In the example below, the screenshot is taken from the currently foreground
window (client area).
So I guess you need to make sure, that all uicontrols are placed in the
same scilab figure.
If not, you can probably capture the complete screen, after arranging
separate figures and use irfan view command line command (in scilab) to
crop the resulting image.

    [n, s]  = weekday(num);
    disp('You were born on '+s)

    // access IrfanView and try to make a screen shot of the GUI

Attached the result as it is created at my PC.

Hope this helps,
best regards,
Philipp

ps.

>From http://www.etcwiki.org/wiki/IrfanView_Command_Line_Options
capture values:
0 = whole screen
1 = current monitor, where mouse is located
2 = foreground window
3 = foreground window - client area
4 = rectangle selection
5 = object selected with the mouse
6 = start in capture mode (can't be combined with other commandline
options)
