View Capture

The View Capture and Screen Capture commands save a bitmap image. The View Capture commands save the contents of the viewport with options for turning on various viewport elements. The Screen Capture commands save the viewport including the viewport frame, viewport title, and the cursor.

The ViewCaptureToFile command saves an image of the current view to a file.

ViewCaptureToFile saves the contents of the view with a specified width and height, disregarding the current viewport size.

Viewport borders, cursor images, and other decorations are not saved.

The ViewCaptureToClipboard command saves an image of the current view to the Clipboard.

The ScreenCaptureToFile command saves an image of the current viewport with viewport borders, viewport titles, cursor images, and other decorations as a bitmap file, using the current viewport size.

Screen captures are useful if you are creating illustrations for documentation. With Rhino you can capture the current viewport to the Clipboard, to a file with a color depth to match your current settings.

The ScreenCaptureToClipboard command saves an image of the current viewport with borders and viewport titles to the Clipboard.

The active viewport is captured to the Clipboard as a bitmap. You can paste this image into a paint program for further editing, or another program that accepts bitmap images.
