Since Windows provides an easy mechanism to make screenshots you can copy the current content of the total screen or an individual window as a bitmap to the clipboard. The example graphics shown up to now in this documentation have been produced this way. To make a shot of the whole screen simply press the Print key on your keyboard, to make a bitmap copy of the active windows only use the combination Alt-Print.

Nevertheless, keep in mind the bitmap copies require much larger space in memory as compared to metafiles and cannot be re-scaled without loss of quality.
