# grim-hyprland
A fork of [grim] that takes advantage of [Hyprland]'s custom protocols to grab
specific windows.
## Example usage
Grab a screenshot from the focused window under Hyprland, using `hyprctl` and
`jq`:
```sh
grim -w "$(hyprctl activewindow -j | jq -r '.address')"
```
All original usages of Grim still work:
Screenshoot all outputs:
```sh
grim
```
Screenshoot a specific output:
```sh
grim -o DP-1
```
Screenshoot a region:
```sh
grim -g "10,20 300x400"
```
Select a region and screenshoot it:
```sh
grim -g "$(slurp)"
```
Use a custom filename:
```sh
grim $(xdg-user-dir PICTURES)/$(date +'%s_grim.png')
```
Screenshoot and copy to clipboard:
```sh
grim - | wl-copy
```
Grab a screenshot from the focused monitor under Hyprland, using `hyprctl` and
`jq`:
```sh
grim -o "$(hyprctl monitors -j | jq -r '.[] | select(.focused) | .name')"
```
Pick a color, using ImageMagick:
```sh
grim -g "$(slurp -p)" -t ppm - | convert - -format '%[pixel:p{0,0}]' txt:-
```
## Building from source
Install dependencies:
* meson
* wayland
* pixman
* libpng
* libjpeg (optional)
Then run:
```sh
meson build
ninja -C build
```
To run directly, use `build/grim`, or if you would like to do a system
installation (in `/usr/local` by default), run `ninja -C build install`.
