NAME
       shutterbug - screen snapshot application

SYNOPSIS
       shutterbug

DESCRIPTION
       Shutterbug is a simple screen snapshot application inspired by SGI
       Snapshot.

       The user interface of Shutterbug consists of a single, unobstrusive
       icon.  All functions in Shutterbug are invoked by right-clicking on
       this icon, which will bring up a popup menu.  A red rectangle
       identifies the area of the screen being captured.


IDENTIFYING THE SCREEN AREA
       The screen capture area is identified by a red rectangle.  The capture
       area can be moved around by right-mouse dragging, or by holding the
       shift- or control key during left-mouse dragging.  The size of the
       rectangle can be changed by dragging on one of the four sides or on the
       corners.

       The capture area can also be set to a predefined, fixed size.  In that
       case the rectangle can not be resized, but only dragged to a specific
       position.


INVOKING COMMANDS
       To invoke the menu, right-click on the Shutterbug application icon.


       Snap   This command snaps a screen shot and brings up the file panel to
              save the image to file.


       Show Lasso
              This command hides the red lasso identifying the capture area.


       Size   Brings up a submenu with a number of predefined capture area
              sizes.  Selecting Custom will enable arbitrary capture area
              selection.


       Weight This submenu can be used to change the line width of the capture
              area lasso rectangle.


       Lines inside
              Causes the lines to be inside, rather than outside the capture
              area rectangle.  This can be more accurate for small images.


       Color  Brings up the Color Dialog to change the color of the lasso
              rectangle.  The default color is red.


       About  Pops up the About Dialog which gives the version number and
              other information about Shutterbug.


       Quit   Terminates the program.
