Are there any java.awt.Graphics methods that I can use to copy a rectangular portion of my current screen and store it as an image variable? If not what are the best alternatives I could use?

  • Are you attempting to capture the *current* screen, or the *applet's* display? This clarification is necessary. – FThompson Jun 20 '13 at 16:22
  • I am trying to copy a portion of just the applet's display. I understand the robot class approach in the answer below, and have used it before, but I am looking to just find images in the applet. – user2503387 Jun 20 '13 at 19:38

If the applet is signed and has enough permission, java.awt.Robot is available.

Robot robot = new Robot();
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(0, 0, displayMode.getWidth(), displayMode.getHeight());
BufferedImage image = robot.createScreenCapture(rect);

  • This will only work if the applet's display is on top of all other windows, and this offers no cropping to a "portion of the applet screen". While this answer may be a start, it is far from complete. – FThompson Jun 20 '13 at 16:20
