1.1.2 Screen.capture(region, 'name') not working

Asked by Edson Henrique Arantes

I want to save a region as a png file to process it in another app, so, no temporary save
my code is as follows:

calc = find("calculator.png")

rows = 10
cols = 4
calc.setRaster(rows, cols)
result = calc.getRow(2) # result is a new region

path = Screen.capture(result,'result.png') # the .png part can be omitted, path should have the absolute path to the image named result.png

getting the error:
"TypeError: capture(): self arg can't be coerced to org.sikuli.script.Screen "

read the documentation but I can't understand what's wrong

must be used as (only available in Python scripting):
capture(result,'result.png')

this stores the image in the scripts .sikuli folder.

Be aware: the actual name of the image will be _result.png.

the leading underscore takes care, that the image is not deleted at time of script save (images not referenced in the script are purged in the standard)
