* Multiple display supported.

* Supported GOOS: windows, darwin, linux, freebsd, openbsd, and netbsd.

* `cgo` free except for GOOS=darwin.

example

=======

* sample program `main.go`

	```go

	package main

	import (

		"github.com/kbinani/screenshot"

		"image/png"

		"os"

		"fmt"

	)

	func main() {

		n := screenshot.NumActiveDisplays()

		for i := 0; i < n; i++ {

			bounds := screenshot.GetDisplayBounds(i)

			img, err := screenshot.CaptureRect(bounds)

			if err != nil {

				panic(err)

			}

			fileName := fmt.Sprintf("%d_%dx%d.png", i, bounds.Dx(), bounds.Dy())

			file, _ := os.Create(fileName)

			defer file.Close()

			png.Encode(file, img)

			fmt.Printf("#%d : %v \"%s\"\n", i, bounds, fileName)

		}

	}

	```

* output example

	

	```bash

	$ go run main.go

	#0 : (0,0)-(1280,800) "0_1280x800.png"

	#1 : (-293,-1440)-(2267,0) "1_2560x1440.png"

	#2 : (-1373,-1812)-(-293,108) "2_1080x1920.png"

	$ ls -1

	0_1280x800.png

	1_2560x1440.png

	2_1080x1920.png

	main.go

	```

coordinate

=================

Y-axis is downward direction in this library. The origin of coordinate is upper-left corner of main display. This means coordinate system is similar to Windows OS
