Minicap Border Area
« on: September 20, 2009, 06:35 PM »
Hey Mouser - Thanks for your help a while ago with the -resize addition. That has worked like a charm. However, as you know, I am using Minicap in an OCR protocol I am building and it seems to have issues when I screen capture (using Minicap of course) a region, and if there is text/numbers along the border of the screen capture.

Because sometimes the edge of the screencapture is actually the edge of the screen, I cannot simply change the X component of the screen capture.  I saw you had a method for adding a 'border' but was unsure if this was like a plain black border like in HTML or if there was a way to add a  black border around a screen capture with a width of X pixels where I can define X?

Sorry, I might not be making sense with my problem.

Also - is there a way to capture the screen in grayscale, not full color? I cannot find any method in your documentation.

i can add the grayscale option.
for border -- do you want it to add border around the outside of the image?
