Description

Macro will copy the contents of the 3D view to the clipboard in bitmap (BMP) image. Copying in Gimp is not possible. Gimp uses its own method for the copy function.

How To Use

• Run once to activate macro (the macro is loaded resident into the memory of the PC).
• Press G to grab the contents of the 3d view and copy them to the clipboard.
• Press Q to quit.

PS: if you want other formats, modify the values of the line number 33 ex:

line 33 : glw.resize(640, 480) # reduce the SubWindow

to

line 33 : glw.resize(800, 600) # reduce the SubWindow
