Re: Screen capture and data plotting

Thanks, Steven. That's a new twist worth looking at.

If some kind MVP is listening, could you lead me to more
documentation on clipbrd.exe?

You see, using the PrtScrn key on the screen when the
graph is there, does nothing visible. If it send
anything anywhere, I have no idea what or where.
Your implication is that clipbrd.exe with grab it
from wherever it is, and make it into something which
will appear if I just go to IrfanView and Paste it.
Well, I'll try it, and thank you, Steven.

Several days ago, I asked some advice on how to do screen
capture under XP and was referred to Screen Hunter and
to Quick Screen Capture. I've tried both, and they work
but not in my application.

You can capture the screen using the little used Print Screen key on
your keyboard.
Then use the poorly documented clipbrd.exe program that is
built into Windows XP. It isn't even mentioned in Help.
It will allow you to view the Clipboard graphic stored in
memory.

It is located in the Windows/system32 folder.

You can convert the clipboard graphic to a JPG using
Irfanview or another graphics program.

I'm running XP/SP2Also and I have an old DOS program which
plots data and makes graphs. I run it from Windows Explorer,
finding its .EXE program in its folder and executing it from
there. The graph appears full screen, but I have tried what
I think are all settings and combinations in Configuring
Quick Screen Capture and also in Screen Hunter. They both
work but I can't seem to grab the plot, which I believe may be
a "Full Screen" plot. I never seem to capture it to that I can
then copy it to a file, or Paste it into IrfanView..

Some more advice specific to those capture programs would be
welcome, and also some other programs to try.....

Also, if anybody knows of a good program for making graphs,
plots of a simple table of X-Y data, without all the advanced
frills of curve fitting and regression and other advanced
capabilities, please refer me to them.
