Wish list for SDK CaptureToBitmap(size,selected)

Just wanted to drop a wish.

I think it would be great if we had CaptureToBitmap(size, selected)

Where it would only capture what we have selected and set its size.

I ask this, because in our plugin, during exports, I show a picture of the current part thats being exported. As of now, I have to do a zoom selected, capture and then zoom extents.

Public Function Capture()
        Dim a
        rs.ZoomSelected()
        rs.UnselectAllObjects()
        a = Rhino.RhinoDoc.ActiveDoc.Views.ActiveView.CaptureToBitmap(New Size(400, 400))
        PictureBox1.Image = a
        rs.ZoomExtents()
    End Function

This gives my this (the capture of the part). Its part of my automation for SigmaNest.

Hi Alan,

I can add a wish for this. But it might be just as easy (and certainly quicker to implement) to just hide what you don’t want to capture.
