Introduction
Autoshot is a proof of concept utility to automate taking of screenshots. The idea is that screenshots can be automated for each locale.
You may view a screencast online of how this works, thanks to Don Scorgie. You may also download the screencast.
Script
If you want to test the script, be sure to save it in a directory named "help" with "./C" and "./C/figures" subdirectories.
# Original author : Karderio (: I release this script into the Public Domain :)
from dogtail.procedural import *
def shoot(window, name):
import os
os.system("import -window \"%s\" -frame %s" % (window, name))
# Start attax
run('gataxx')
#Take screenshot of main window
shoot("Ataxx", "./C/figures/ataxx.png")
# Open Settings menu
click('Settings')
# Open Preferences dialog
click('Preferences')
#Take screenshot of Preferences dialog
shoot("Ataxx Preferences", "./C/figures/ataxx_preferences.png")
# Close Preferences dialog
click('Close')
# Close gattax
click('Game')
click('Quit')
ToDo
Please don't hesitate to add feature requests here :
- Make it do shots for each locale
- Take a shot of just an area of the screen
- Optional ragged edges when taking a shot of an area
- Maybe a simple description language for taking shots with very few functions : open/close, click and shoot
