Capture a Screenshot

DigitizeIt can take a screenshot of your desktop (Edit->Capture Screenshot) . This can be used to import graphs in formats, that are not supported by DigitizeIt e.g. pdf-documents. Just open the graph with any image editing application and resize the graph to fill most of the screen. Now open DigitizeIt and select Edit->Capture Screenshot. DigitizeIt will hide its own window before the screenshot is taken, so that the result is an image of your desktop without the DigitizeIt window.

If you see the DigitizeIt main window on top of your screenshots or just a white rectangle where the DigitizeIt window previously was, increase the delay before the screenshot is captured in the preferences dialog (Edit->Preferences).

Tip: A second way to make a screenshot of your Windows desktop is pressing the "Print" button on your keyboard. This copies the screenshot into the windows clipboard. Now you can paste it into DigitizeIt via Edit->Paste Graph.
