.TH import 1 "Date: 2009/01/10 01:00:00" "ImageMagick" .SH NAME import \- saves any visible window on an X server and outputs it as an image file. You can capture a single window, the entire screen, or any rectangular portion of the screen. The window to capture is selected by clicking the desired window or a program option. .SH SYNOPSIS .TP \fBimport\fP [\fIoptions\fP] \fIoutput-file\fP .SH OVERVIEW The \fBimport\fP program is a member of the ImageMagick(1) suite of tools. Use it to capture some or all of an X server screen and save the image to a file.

To specify a particular image format, precede the filename with an image format name and a colon (i.e. ps:image) or specify the image type as the filename suffix (i.e. image.ps). Specify 'file' as '-' for standard input or output. .SH SEE ALSO ImageMagick(1) .SH COPYRIGHT \fBCopyright (C) 1999-2021 ImageMagick Studio LLC.
