Spectacle est un outil pour prendre des captures d'écran

Introduction

Vous avez toujours voulu montrer au monde combien les logiciels KDE étaient géniaux, le dernier niveau que vous venez de battre dans votre jeu, ou peut être votre aquarium virtuel ? Spectacle va capter chacun de ces moments et même vous laissera adapter l'aspect de l'image finale qui sera sauvegardée.

Lancement

If already configured you can start Spectacle with Print Screen (can be also Prt sc) -button of keyboard. Otherwise you can:

• Appeler Spectacle de KRunner

• Set the global shortcut on System settings Shortcuts -> Custom Shortcuts -> Screenshots.

Fonctions

Capturer une autre image

Perhaps you did not like the image that was taken. Luckily you can easily snap another screenshot by clicking on the Take a New Screenshot button, as outlined in the picture at the top of this page.

Sauvegarder l'image

What use would this program be if you couldn't save your image afterwards? Spectacle allows you to save your picture in many file formats. Below is a list of all of them;

• Windows BMP image (.bmp)

• EPS image (.eps)

• JPEG-2000 image (.jp2)

• image JPEG (.jpeg)

• animation MNG (.mng)

• image PBM (.pbm)

• PCX image (.pcx)

• Softimage PIC image (.pic)

• PNG image (.png)

• PGM image (.pgm)

• PPM image (.ppm)

• RGB image (.rgb)

• TGA image (.tga)

• TIFF image (.tif)

• WBMP image (.wbmp)

• XBM image (.xbm)

• XPM image (.xpm)

With regard to what format you should save your image as, this depends on your needs. The most common image formats found today are PNG and JPEG. The other formats are still useful for various other uses.

Exporter l'image

This allows you to open the image in an external application (such as KolourPaint or Krita). Perhaps you wish to edit the image or add something to it. Using an external application in this scenario would be a good idea. The image may also be printed.

Using KIPI plugins, the image be sent to a contact by e-mail or Kopete, sent to an online gallery such as Flickr or PicasaWeb, or sent to a social networking site, such as Facebook.

Copier vers le presse-papiers

This means that you will be able to paste the image (generally Ctrl + V) into another program or document that supports image pasting.

Mode capture

This will further change how the image will look when it's finally saved. Options here include;

• Full Screen (All Monitors): Everything is captured

• Current Screen: Everything on the current screen is captured

• Active Window: Active Window contents

• Window under cursor: Window contents below the cursor

• Rectangular Region: Capture a rectangular region

Temporiser la capture

Set a timer here (in seconds). For example putting this up to 10 seconds will make Spectacle wait 10 seconds until the screenshot is taken. This is particularly useful if you need to capture drop-down menus, or anything else that only responds to a mouse action.
