public class RobotExp {
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        
        try {
            
            Robot robot = new Robot();
            // Capture the screen shot of the area of the screen defined by the rectangle
            BufferedImage bi=robot.createScreenCapture(new Rectangle(100,100));
            ImageIO.write(bi, "jpg", new File("C:/Temp/TestImage.jpg"));
            
        } catch (AWTException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
