Screenshot of specific gui window

[ichVII]

TL;DR

I would like to have a command, that can create a screenshot of a single gui window.

What ?

Add a screenshot method to the luaGui. It will output a picture of the gui window, which does not include transparency. Furthermore, if there are scroll bars, it enlarges the window until the scroll bars vanish.

Why ?

The use case i am most interested in is a quick way to produce images of every blueprint in a blueprint book. I can just run a command to open every blueprint gui one by one and then take the picture. Other people might be interested in doing this as well.

Not entirely sure this would suit your needs, but do you know about the Blueprint bot? It's on the official Factorio discord & reddit, you can also add it to your own discord. Give it a BP string and it returns a nice image of the blueprint with a list of ingredients.

That sounds nice and helpful, but I assume it does not work with entities created by mods. If it did, it would be exactly what i need.

Yeah, mod entities are indeed replaced by interrogation points.
