PImage screenshot;  
import java.awt.Robot;

void setup() {  
size(400,300);  
}

void draw() {  
try {  
Robot robot = new Robot();  
screenshot = new PImage(robot.createScreenCapture(new Rectangle(0,0,screen.width,screen.height)));

```
 } catch (AWTException e) {
 }

```

image(screenshot, 0, 0, width, height);  
screenshot(0,0,width, height);  
}
