screen shot grabber


Hi there

In Windows world we use SnagIt to grab the screen shot pictures for demo purpose and is there any similar software in Linux environment?

Thanks.

You can use The GIMP to take screenshots in Linux.

what was wrong with just hitting print screen?? That works in windows and both KDE and Gnome... personally i use xwd for screenshots though. Quite how we're meant to know what similiar software exists for some random 3rd party windows app no one is likely to have heard of i don't know though.

In KDE you can use ksnapshot. There is something equivalent in GNOME (Menu -> Desktop -> Take Screenshot), but I don't know the name of the app.
