Ok I was making a paint program when I develpoed this script. You know how in photoshop where theres the preview in browser feature? Well yea thats pretty much what I did. Its really easy to use and it only has four arguments so here it is.

But seriously looks can be deciving. This script is as easy as crap to use.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//Preview in browser script by Mr.Limbojello///////////////////////
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//Argument0 = x to start the picture taking at/////////////////////
//Argument1 = the y to start taking picture at/////////////////////
//Argument2 = the width of the picture your taking a snapshot of///
//Argument3 = the height of the picture your taking a snapshot of//
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

direc=directory_create('C:\Documents and Settings\temp')
file=file_text_open_write('C:\Documents and Settings\temp\preview.html')
file_text_write_string(file,'<html>')
file_text_write_string(file,'<title>')
file_text_write_string(file,'Preview')
file_text_write_string(file,'</title>')
file_text_write_string(file,'<body>')
file_text_write_string(file,'<img src="pic.bmp" alt="pic">')
file_text_write_string(file,'</body>')
pic=screen_save_part('C:\Documents and Settings\temp\pic.bmp',argument0,argument1,argument2,argument3)
file_text_write_string(file,'</html>')
file_text_writeln(file)
file_text_close(file)
execute_shell('C:\Documents and Settings\temp\preview.html',0)

Now there is an example that comes with it so here is the download link.
Link to example

Well have fun

You know, adding multiple lines of file_text_write_string is actually pointless. You could either put them all together or add file_text_write_ln function.

There's no "temp" folder in documents and settings.

It's under c:\documents and settings\<user>\local settings\temp

Using the built-in temp_directory variable will remedy this.

Actually I didnt want it to get messy cause for me that often leads to errors. So I like to make multiple lines to avoid large lines of code.
@adamsucks
I know that. I was having problems with temp_directory so I decided to simulate that by creating a folder and deleting it at the end of the game.

Fixed up the HTML and cleaned it a bit for you.

direc=directory_create('C:\Documents and Settings\temp')
pic=screen_save_part('C:\Documents and Settings\temp\pic.bmp',argument0,argument1,argument2,argument3)
file=file_text_open_write('C:\Documents and Settings\temp\preview.html')
file_text_write_string(file,'<html>')

Yea, you could get away with:

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Preview in browser script by Mr.Limbojello
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Argument0 = x to start the picture taking at
// Argument1 = the y to start taking picture at
// Argument2 = the width of the picture your taking a snapshot of
// Argument3 = the height of the picture your taking a snapshot of
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

direc=directory_create('C:\Documents and Settings\temp')
pic=screen_save_part('C:\Documents and Settings\temp\pic.bmp',argument0,argument1,argument2,argument3)
file=file_text_open_write('C:\Documents and Settings\temp\preview.html')
file_text_write_string(file,'<img src="pic.bmp" alt="pic">')
file_text_writeln(file)
file_text_close(file)
execute_shell('C:\Documents and Settings\temp\preview.html',0)

But for standards sakes, the other fluff is needed.

Don't use a path like C:\Documents and Settings\temp. Documents and settings doesn't even exist under windows 9x. Use temp_directory.

Cause you can make sure the background color of the image fits in with that of the webpage, thats why I made it, or your own personal reasons.
