NAME

       spectacle - screenshot capture Utility

SYNOPSIS

       spectacle [Spectacle options]

DESCRIPTION

       spectacle is a simple application for capturing desktop screenshots. It can capture images
       of the entire desktop, a single monitor, the currently active window, the window currently
       under the mouse, or a rectangular region of the screen. The images can then be annotated,
       printed, sent to other applications for manipulation, or quickly be saved as-is.
