3.2 Easy screenshots
=====================================

This function allows you to save the current game screen in a png file, or possibly a bmp file if you provide a filename ending with .bmp.

C++ : static void TCODSystem::saveScreenshot(const char *filename)
C   : void TCOD_sys_save_screenshot(const char *filename)
Py  : sys_save_screenshot(filename)

Parameter	Description
filename	Name of the file. If NULL, a filename is automatically generated with the form "./screenshotNNN.png", NNN being the first free number (if a file named screenshot000.png already exist, screenshot001.png will be used, and so on...).

Example :

C++ : TCODSystem::saveScreenshot(NULL);
C   : TCOD_sys_save_screenshot("./screenshots/myscreen.png");
Py  : libtcod.sys_save_screenshot("./screenshots/myscreen.png")
