1. Use the "snapshot canvas" action

Ooh, this is useful for many things, thanks, R0J0hound - is there a way to capture a specific part of the canvas?

Well you can capture to a lower resolution image with this:

You could change the scroll and zoom so what you want to capture covers the screen, and then you can capture a lower res image.

Or it can be modified to capture an area of a certain size.

Edit: It wasn't always working with webgl on. The trick is you need the canvas to redraw for it to work. So to get it to redraw you need something moving, and at least one object spinning would do that trick.

Thanks, R0J0hound, I'll make sure to try it out - just changing some UI things here so when that's done it'll be testing time.

Since it's becoming increasingly clear that you simply know EVERYTHING, perhaps you have some ideas for this as well?

I played around with Rojohounds capx, and it seems to only work in Internet Explorer.

You can use the Snapshot action instead. For for a 100x100 image centered on position 50x50 you could do this:

---Set canvas size to 100x100

---scroll to (50, 50)

---Take Snapshot

on snapshot

---set canvas size to 640x480

---scroll to (320,240)

---invoke download of canvasScreenshot

The second scroll to is to scroll back to the original scroll location. If the layout isn't using unbounded scrolling you could also use (0,0).

R0j0 recommended using this for my specifically-sized images and it works perfectly (at least if your canvas isn't stretched in some way within C2).
