Re,
If you want to capture the whole content of the window you should
create a BufferedImage of the size of the window and the default color model.
Then create the Graphics-object and call the paint method from the
root pane of the window.
// Create a BufferedImage
BufferedImage buf = new BufferedImage(width, height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
// fetch the JRootPane
JComponent rootPane = getRootPane();
// create the graphics object
Graphics2D g2d = buf.createGraphics();
// do the paint
rootPane.paint(g2d);
g2d.dispose;to save this buffered image use the methods from javax.imageio.ImageIO.
