[comp.windows.x] xsnap - where is it?

klute@heike.informatik.uni-dortmund.de (Rainer Klute) (11/14/90)

Does anybody know about the program xsnap? It is supposed to cut an
abitrary part of the screen and display it in a separate window.

This program must have existed ages ago at our site - at least I have found
a manual page. However, I couldn't find any sources, neither locally nor on
expo.

It would be fine if someone had a pointer to xsnap or to a program that can
do the same.

I have posted in comp.sources.x and put in contrib on expo.lcs.mit.edu a new
xsnap I have made by incorporating into the old xsnap asnap features (atk and
xwd output formats, and region options) which I have debugged: when specifying
the region in args it was dumping core, and when the region was not completly
specified it was leaving the X server grabbed. In addition I have added code to
provide xpm output format - which I think is very useful to quickly define icons
with tools such as idraw, as long as we don't have any pixmap editor.

I hope this helps.

A global "thank you" for all replies! I was advised that xsnap has been put
on expo.lcs.mit.edu (18.30.0.212) just one day after I posted my query.
