I have what seems should be a simple problem but it's driving me nuts.

I have an application that generates several mesh plots in their own windows which then are saved to a log file. My problem is that in normal use while this application is running and analyzing the data to create the plots system users are often performing other tasks on the system, and opening their own windows (windows explorer, other software apps, etc...). And if they are using another window when the figures are created then when the figures are saved it's simply capturing the content of whatever window they have open instead of the plots I want.

How do I either force the figures to the "top" of the screen in windows when they're generated and saved, or otherwise avoid getting a screencapture of whatever window someone is working in at the moment when the figures are saved?

Actually, nevermind folks. I just figured out that this is only an issue saving the figures as bitmaps... and I'm not tied down to that file format.

Please see the documentation about printing without a display, which is about
half way down
