I am using the "export snapshot from rect tRect to ... " for of the export snapshot command to export the interior of a stack window where and External has drawn in the window. tRect is set to the global (screen) coordinates of the interior area of the window based on its current position.
This works fine. I get a resulting image that is exactly what I am seeing on screen. Now I have experimented with move the stack off-screen so that I can capture the image without the user seeing the window. I have discovered that if a portion of the window is visible, but say, extends off the bottom of the screen, and my coordinates in tRect encompass the area both on and off screen, the image is created just fine. However, if the whole window is off screen, for example by setting the topLeft of the window to -5000,-5000 or to 5000,5000, then the export snapshot command throw and execution error that there is nothing to snapshop. Has anyone else run into this issue with export snapshot using screen coordinates? Is there some reason why export snapshot should not be able to take a snapshop of something rendered "off-screen"? Is this a known export snapshop issue? I could not find an applicable bug entry for this behavior. I am using LC6.7.6 under Windows 8.1 _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
