Print this. Eat the paper to gain its powers.

Alternatively this might be what you're looking for.

The simplest way is: Alt-PrintScreen in DF, open Paint or Photoshop or Gimp or Irfanview or whatever you like to use, and paste or "create new image from clipboard contents" or similar.

Save as PNG or JPG, upload to tinypic or host of your choice, use IMG tags to post on the board here.

alternatively, there is an in-game tool. esc > export local image

does an entire Z layer of your choice, although it will certainly need to be cropped

First, this should have gone into the game play questions forum.

Second, people really... really.. do not like all cap titles. They will definately make this known.

Third, to take a snapshot of your fortress. You want to export the local image, which can be done from the exit menu.

You should see a list of the layers of your map, as you move your cursor down the layers you'll see a small snapshot of the layer to the right. by pressing enter you can select that layer to be exported as a bitmap file. By selecting multiple layers you can export multiple slices of the map, and with the DF Map converter, you can sandwich the slices together.

Word of Warning, if you export many layers at once, it will lock up DF as it exports the files.

I use Jing. I can take pictures of any separate part of the screen with a drag window or something. There is no need to crop.
