10.0;cpscr (copy_screen), revision 1.0, 88/01/21
cpscr (copy_screen) - copy the current display to a file.
usage:  cpscr [-inv] pathname



DESCRIPTION
     cpscr copies the current screen image, without clearing it, to the file
     you specify. Use the  prf (print_file) command to print the file.

     Use the DM command cpo to copy the screen without creating a new process
     window or changing the current transcript pad.  cpo invokes the cpscr
     command from the DM without creating a pad or window.  Thus, press <CMD>
     and type

     cpo /usr/apollo/bin/cpscr pathname

     You may copy small portions of a black and white screen (such as a single
     window) with the DM command xi.

     By default, black and white screens are copied into a GMF file. Color
     screens are copied into a GPR bitmap.

     pathname (required)
                    Specify file to that the screen is copied.

OPTIONS
     -inv           Invert image.  Use this option to store the image in
                    reverse video.  Black screen pixels become white and white
                    screen pixels become black.  Do not used this option with
                    the -gpr_bitmap option or on color nodes.

     -append        Appends a black and white screen image to an existing GMF
                    file.  You cannot use this option with the -gpr_bitmap
                    option or on color nodes.

     -gpr_bitmap    Use this option to copy a black and white screen into a
                    GPR bitmap file rather than a GMF file.  This option has
                    no meaning for color nodes since color screens are already
                    copied into GPR bitmaps.

EXAMPLES
     Invert and copy the current screen image to the specified file.  Since
     the command line is echoed in the shell's process transcript pad prior to
     execution, this command will appear in the resulting image.

     $ cpscr -inv //us/looky_there


     <cmd>
     Command: cpo /usr/apollo/bin/cpscr -inv //us/looky_there

     Same result as in the previos example, but the cpscr line will not appear
     in the plotted output.
