I am trying to take a screenshot for my screen(s).
I am aware of the function
pyautogui.screenshot()
The problem with this function is that it can take a screenshot for one screen only. I am trying to take a full screenshot for all available screens (typically two). But, it does not seem to work in this regards.
Given the fact that you want to use a Windows system I would like to suggest you to use Desktopmagic, a Python Library.
Here's an example:
from __future__ import print_function
from desktopmagic.screengrab_win32 import (
getDisplayRects, saveScreenToBmp, saveRectToBmp, getScreenAsImage,
getRectAsImage, getDisplaysAsImages)
# Save the entire virtual screen as a BMP (no PIL required)
saveScreenToBmp('screencapture_entire.bmp')
# Save an arbitrary rectangle of the virtual screen as a BMP (no PIL required)
saveRectToBmp('screencapture_256_256.bmp', rect=(0, 0, 256, 256))
# Save the entire virtual screen as a PNG
entireScreen = getScreenAsImage()
entireScreen.save('screencapture_entire.png', format='png')
# Get bounding rectangles for all displays, in display order
print("Display rects are:", getDisplayRects())
# -> something like [(0, 0, 1280, 1024), (-1280, 0, 0, 1024), (1280, -176, 3200, 1024)]
# Capture an arbitrary rectangle of the virtual screen: (left, top, right, bottom)
rect256 = getRectAsImage((0, 0, 256, 256))
rect256.save('screencapture_256_256.png', format='png')
# Unsynchronized capture, one display at a time.
# If you need all displays, use getDisplaysAsImages() instead.
for displayNumber, rect in enumerate(getDisplayRects(), 1):
imDisplay = getRectAsImage(rect)
imDisplay.save('screencapture_unsync_display_%d.png' % (displayNumber,), format='png')
# Synchronized capture, entire virtual screen at once, cropped to one Image per display.
for displayNumber, im in enumerate(getDisplaysAsImages(), 1):
im.save('screencapture_sync_display_%d.png' % (displayNumber,), format='png')
