About

This plug-in saves screenshots of stimuli and other screens within an experiment.

The screenshots are saved in the folder of the log file, in a subfolder per capture method and subject, for example screenshots_stim_psycho/subject-1/filename.png.

This plug-in has the following options:

• Verbose mode: print the path of each saved screenshot.
• Stimulus display (PsychoPy): capture the PsychoPy window, saved in screenshots_stim_psycho. Only available with the PsychoPy backend.
• Stimulus display (PIL): capture the first monitor with PIL, saved in screenshots_stim_pil.
• Composite of all displays (PIL): capture all monitors with PIL, saved in screenshots_full_pil.
• Filename: the filename with extension; the extension determines the picture format (.png, .jpg, etc.). Variables can be used, e.g. trial_[count_trial_sequence].png.
