Using save_image with specific layers

egedursun

Hi Matthias,

I would like to use the save_image method to be able to take a screenshot of only a specific layer. What should I use to to be able to do that? Do I need to hide the other layers before using the save_image method, if so; how can I do that?

Matthias

Hi,

yes, you need to hide all other layers.

This is how you do this in a script:

layer_to_show = 45
datatype_to_show = 0

lv = RBA::LayoutView::current
lv.each_layer do |l|
  l.visible = l.source_layer == layer_to_show && l.source_datatype == datatype_to_show
end
