DESCRIPTION
Shutter is a feature-rich screenshot program. You can take a screenshot of a specific area, window, your whole screen, or even of a website - apply different effects to it, draw on it to highlight points, and then upload to an image hosting site, all within one window.

OPTIONS

Example 1
    shutter -a -p=myprofile --min_at_startup

Example 2
    shutter -s=100,100,300,300 -e

Example 3
    shutter --window=.*firefox.*

Example 4
    shutter --web=http://shutter-project.org/ -e

  CAPTURE MODE OPTIONS

-s, --select=[X,Y,WIDTH,HEIGHT]
    Capture an area of the screen. Providing X,Y,WIDTH,HEIGHT is optional.

-f, --full
    Capture the entire screen.

-w, --window=[NAME_PATTERN]
    Select a window to capture. Providing a NAME_PATTERN (Perl-style regex) is optional.

-a, --active
    Capture the current active window.

-m, --menu
    Capture a menu.

-t, --tooltip
    Capture a tooltip.

--web=[URL]
    Capture a webpage. Providing an URL is optional.

-r, --redo
    Redo last screenshot.

  SETTINGS OPTIONS

-p, --profile=NAME
    Load a specific profile on startup.

-o, --output=FILENAME
    Specify a filename to save the screenshot to (overwrites any profile-related setting).

    Supported image formats: You can save to any popular image format (e.g. jpeg, png, gif, bmp). Additionally it is possible to save to pdf, ps or svg.

    Please note: There are several wildcards available.

    Wild cards provided by Shutter are:

     $w = width
     $h = height
     $name = multi-purpose (e.g. window title)
     $nb_name = like $name but without blanks in resulting strings
     $profile = name of current profile
     $R = random char (e.g. $RRRR = ag4r)
     %NN = counter

    Additionally, there are date related wildcards:

     %Y = year
     %m = month
     %d = day
     %T = time

    The string is interpretted by strftime. See "man strftime" for more examples.

    As an example: shutter -f -e -o './%y-%m-%d_$w_$h.png' would create a file named '11-10-28_1280_800.png' in the current directory.
