maim(1) -- Takes screenshots
============================
## SYNOPSIS
`maim` [options] [file]
## DESCRIPTION
maim (MAke IMage) is a utility that takes screenshots of your desktop using
imlib2. It's meant to overcome shortcomings of scrot and performs better than
scrot in several ways.
## OPTIONS
* `--help`:
Print help and exit
* `-V`, `--version`:
Print version and exit
### Options
* `--xdisplay=hostname:number.screen_number`:
Sets the x display.
* `-s`, `--select`:
Enables user region selection. Requires slop to
be installed. (default=off)
* `-x`, `--x=INT`:
Sets the x coordinate for taking an image
* `-y`, `--y=INT`:
Sets the y coordinate for taking an image
* `-w`, `--w=INT`:
Sets the width for taking an image
* `-h`, `--h=INT`:
Sets the height for taking an image
* `-g`, `--geometry=WxH+X+Y`:
Set the region to capture
* `-d`, `--delay=FLOAT`:
Set the amount of time to wait before taking an image. (default=`0.0')
* `-i`, `--windowid=INT`:
Set the window to capture. Defaults to the root window id.
* `--localize`:
Localizes given geometry to the given window. So `maim -i $ID -g 100x100+0+0 --localize` would screenshot the top-left 100x100 pixels of the given window, rather than the top-left 100x100 pixels of the root window. (default=off)
* `--hidecursor`:
Prevents the system cursor from showing up in screenshots. (default=off)
* `-m`, `--mask=STRING`:
Masks off-screen pixels so they don't show up in screenshots. (possible values="auto", "off", "on" default=`auto')
### SLOP OPTIONS
* `--nokeyboard`:
Disables the ability to cancel selections with the keyboard. (default=off)
* `-b`, `--bordersize=INT`:
Set the selection rectangle's thickness. Does nothing when `--highlight` is enabled. (default=`5')
* `-p`, `--padding=INT`:
Set the padding size of the selection. Can be negative. (default=`0')
* `-t`, `--tolerance=INT`:
How far in pixels the mouse can move after clicking and still be detected as a normal click instead of a click and drag. Setting this to 0 will disable window selections. (default=`2')
* `--gracetime=FLOAT`:
Set the amount of time before slop will check for keyboard cancellations in seconds. (default=`0.4')
* `-c`, `--color=FLOAT,FLOAT,FLOAT,FLOAT`:
Set the selection rectangle's color. Supports RGB or RGBA values. (default=`0.5,0.5,0.5,1')
* `-n`, `--nodecorations`:
Attempt to select child windows in order to avoid window decorations. (default=off)
* `--min=INT`:
Set the minimum output of width or height values. This is useful to avoid outputting 0. Setting min and max to the same value disables drag selections. (default=`0')
* `--max=INT`:
Set the maximum output of width or height values. Setting min and max to the same value disables drag selections. (default=`0')
* `-l`, `--highlight`:
Instead of outlining selections, slop highlights it. This is only useful when `--color` is set to a transparent color. (default=off)
## EXAMPLES
Screenshot the active window
$ maim -i $(xdotool getactivewindow)
Prompt a transparent red selection to screenshot.
$ maim -s -c 1,0,0,0.6
Save a dated screenshot.
$ maim ~/$(date +%F-%T).png
