How do I (programmatically) save what''s currently on the screen to a file? What I want to happen is have the user press the Print-Screen key and have a new file (bmp, png, jpg, whatever) created somewhere on the disk that holds the contents of the screen. If no one wants (or can) post some code showing how to do this, does anyone know where I might be able to find an extension that does this? Thanks

nehe had something like this in their code.
you''ll just have to search there, i''m sure its easy to find.

Use glReadPixels() to get the pixel data from the frame buffer. Having gotten that, it should be easy to output the raster to the file format of your choice.
