Screen shot high resolution image

Miao Yu

Hi, 

i would like to screen shot a higher resolution image from Hypermesh. Is there a way to achieve it? Currently i set up the JEPG quality to 99 already.

 

Thanks,

Miao

if you open the tcl console (from view menu) in either HW or HV

Then you can do it from there with the 'capturescreentosize' command:

E.g. to capture screen to a JPEG type file called MyHiResPicture.jpg with a resolution of 3200 X 2400 pixels and quality level 100:

enter following:

hwi GetSessionHandle sess; sess CaptureScreenToSize jpeg E:\MyHiResPicture.jpg 3200 2400 100;<br /><br />

There are a number of similar hwi commands for getting the whole desktop, a window or animations, you can find the documentation for them in the help

e.g. https://2021.help.altair.com/2021.2/hwdesktop/hwd/topics/reference/tcl/hwisession_capturescreentosize.htm

• hwISession CaptureActiveWindow
• hwISession CaptureAnimation
• hwISession CaptureAnimationByArea
• hwISession CaptureAnimationByAreaPercentage
• hwISession CaptureAnimationByWindow
• hwISession CaptureDesktop
• hwISession CaptureDesktopByArea
• hwISession CaptureScreen
• hwISession CaptureScreenByArea
• hwISession CaptureScreenByAreaPercentage
• hwISession CaptureScreenToSize

Thanks Paul! i tried it but couldn't find the .jpg in the folder.

CaptureScreenToSize jpeg <span style="color: #ff0000;">E:\MyHiResPicture.jpg</span> 3200 2400 100;<br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I believe E:\MyHiResPicture.jpg referring to the folder path. Is it correct?</span>

Yes, that's correct, you can set this to any path and filename you like (that you have write permissions for) if you don't have an E: drive then the above exact syntax wouldn't work
