I'm still recovering from eye surgery and don't focus too well yet, so I may have just missed something, but I can't find the function that VMD used to have to print out or save a pic of the module under development. If this really has gone missing, it's something of a nuisance, because it would require publishing the module to take a pic of it. Can anyone either tell me where I messed up, or tell me where it is. Thanks.

Hi Reid,
the function you're looking for is in the test client menu section Edit. (in VMD 2.7.0)

If you're working with a Windows PC, you can also get a screen shot by pressing [Windows]+[Shift]+S. Then you can draw a rectangle with the mouse on the area, you want to get. After that the screen shot can be copied from the temporary storage to a graphics program (for example Paint).

I always zoom into the front panel under VMD and just use the Windows Snipping Tool to get a nice high-res image. I use this when creating user guides, or images for the store:



Certainly, this won't work if you want to capture how it operates within a working patch (without publishing). As Roland said, Print Screen is your friend (under Windows, at least).

Print Screen is your friend (under Windows, at least).

Yeap ! and [Alt]+[Print Screen] too, that (who ?) copies the window who (that ?) has the focus...

For anyone curious, the Save Screenshot options are still there under the VMD Edit menu in 2.9.2 - or at least, they are on macOS. -Rob

PS. And you need to be actually running the module in debug mode which was, I'm pretty sure always the case.

Thanks, all. Good to know I'm not totally slipping my cams.
