Taking Screen shots of specific size

Question

What imaging modules for python will allow you to take a specific size screenshot (not whole screen)? I have tried PIL, but can\'t seem to make ImageGrab.grab() select a sma

Answer 1

You could use Python MSS.

From documentation to capture only a part of the screen:

import mss
import mss.tools


with mss.mss() as sct:
    # The screen part to capture
    monitor = {"top": 160, "left": 160, "width": 160, "height": 135}
    output = "sct-{top}x{left}_{width}x{height}.png".format(**monitor)

    # Grab the data
    sct_img = sct.grab(monitor)

    # Save to the picture file
    mss.tools.to_png(sct_img.rgb, sct_img.size, output=output)
    print(output)
