**fScan Reference Manual, Chapter 3 (KeyCmds:WinKeys): snapshot **
===== Snapshot -- Save the current window in an image file =====
**usage: "name",flag,quality,nframes,img0 W**\\

The SNAPSHOT (W) key command saves the current window as a JPEG image file.
If a NAME argument is specified, the output file will have that name, otherwise the window name will be used for the output image. A number will be appended to the name if a file of the same name already exists.

The FLAG argument can be used to specifiy options (combine by adding):
  * 2 - create TIFF image (JPEG is the default)
  * 4 - save a series of images (default if NFRAMES > 1)
  * 8 - overwrite image file if it already exists
  * 64 - save Main window (instead of active window)
  * 128 - save Taskbar window (instead of active window)

The QUALITY flag (0-100) can be specified for JPEG images (default quality = 80).

NFRAMES specifies how many times the window should be saved. If NFRAMES > 1, the window will increment slices (Z value) or time points (T value) between images. Use the [[jvs:fscan:manual:chapter3:imagekeys:highdims|Highdims (Z)]] key command to specify the increment mode.

IMG0 can be used to specify the starting frame number (default is the current frame).
