Hello I am a new member, so sorry if I unintentionally violate any discussion rules.
Edit: Ooops, I have noticed that I accidently opened this discussion in Ruby scripting. Is there way to delete this discussion? I will open the same in python scripting. Sorry!
I am trying to produce a png image of a certain region in the layout using python.
1-I need to read the .oas file,
2-Define the region of interest,
3-Create a png image of that region.
I searched through other discussions (https://www.klayout.de/forum/discussion/327/goto-position-and-snapshot)
and I think I can do it by using
include RBA
app = Application.instance
mw = app.main_window
lv = mw.current_view
lv.save_image("image_file.png", 640, 480)
However, when I try to run this on python IDE in Klayout, I receive an error for "include RBA" as an undefined method.
I also tried it on Ruby IDE.
Could you please help me to write a script that will produce a png image of a certain region in the layout using python.
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards.

Python module is pya. See also sample scripts.
Oh yes ...
This is Python. I have also added code to navigate to a certain window before shooting the picture.

Hello Matthias,
Thanks a lot for the useful answer!
There is just one more error I get which is
'pya' has no attribute 'Application'
Although I can use pya's most of the classes, my pya version doesn't support classes like Application or LayoutView for some reason.
Is there a simple way I can fix it? I used "pip install pya" from command prompt of my windows to install it. (Also installed pya from pycharm IDE- from settings, import package)- But still doesn't work.
Also, I tried to find it from Anaconda navigator to add it to my virtual environment but couldn't see the package there.
Thank you!
