How can I capture the screen in Windows PowerShell? I need to be able to save the screen to disk.
You can also use .NET to take the screenshot programatically (which gives you finer control):
[Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Drawing")
function screenshot([Drawing.Rectangle]$bounds, $path) {
$bmp = New-Object Drawing.Bitmap $bounds.width, $bounds.height
$graphics = [Drawing.Graphics]::FromImage($bmp)
$graphics.CopyFromScreen($bounds.Location, [Drawing.Point]::Empty, $bounds.size)
$bmp.Save($path)
$graphics.Dispose()
$bmp.Dispose()
}
$bounds = [Drawing.Rectangle]::FromLTRB(0, 0, 1000, 900)
screenshot $bounds "C:\screenshot.png" # change path to somewhere writable
