My question is, what is the difference between save() and saveFrame()?

Which one must I use if I want to save, only the drawings inside the windows, not savijng mouse.

It seems like there is no difference after experimenting.

With `saveFrame("####.png");` you can record each frame were the #### are signed here from 0000 to 9999. So you have 0000.png, 0001.png, 0002.png to 9999.png
