Are you looking for a screenshot of a LabVIEW front panel?

 

This looks more like the screenshot of an instrument.

An Image Depth of 1 will return a black and white picture.

Hi,

Yes it's the part of the front pannel. Graph and all the data are captured from a spectrum anlyzer separately. I can save the graph only, but need to include those data too in the image.

Thanks!

You could put the controls that you want into a tab control. I've attached an example of this.

 

An alternative method is to resize the VI such that only the data you want is visible . The constant of Visible Area Only would then need to be set to True.

Also look at the Code Capture Tool.  It is often used on the forums for capturing and posting screenshots (with embedded code).  But it provides a palette that allows you to programmatically take screen captures.

You forgot the link you usually provide.  Unfortunately, I forgot what it was, also.  And there are two community nuggets, one for v1 and one for v2.

You're right.  I just didn't have the time to go dig up the link.  Over the years, how to get to it has changed as new versions came out.  I googled it and found it here.

But I think if you download and install VIPM, it will also show up in the list of add-ons you can install.

Thanks NLutz,

That's almost done. Only one problem remaining. In B&W image, Tab FG is black and no labels are visible [I need it in B&W]. Could you please advise how to solve this.

 

Thanks!
