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.
