How to save screenshot with Sikuli on Java

Question

I understand that screen.capture() should be used in order to take screenshot using Sikuli. How can i save the image to a file?

Answer 1

From the resulting org.sikuli.script.ScreenImage you can getImage that returns a java.awt.image.BufferedImage . To save that to a file you can use javax.imageio.ImageIO :

ImageIO.write(screen.capture().getImage(), "jpg", new File("screen.jpg"));

Answer 2

Cannot comment because of reputation. Additionally, you can capture a specific region:

Region myRegion = new Region(0, 0, 250, 500);
ImageIO.write(screen.capture(myRegion).getImage(), "jpg", new File("screen.jpg"));

The region object would be defined according to your needs. In this case I created a simple region at x=0, y=0, width=250, height=500.
