snippingtool 0.2.0

A simple Python snipping tool using Tkinter and PIL

SnippingTool

SnippingTool is a simple and intuitive screen capture tool that allows you to select a region of the screen using your mouse. Once the area is selected, the tool captures the region as an image. It uses a transparent overlay to let you draw a selection area, and once you release the mouse button, the tool captures and returns the image.

Usage

To use the SnippingTool, you just need to initialize the tool and call the capture() method. Here's a basic example of how to use it:

from snippingtool import SnippingTool

# Create an instance of SnippingTool
snipping = SnippingTool()

# Capture a selected area of the screen
image, bounding_box = snipping.capture()

# Save the captured image to a file
image.save('captured_area.png')

# Print the bounding box of the captured area
print(f'Bounding box: {bounding_box}')
