Description:
------------
Could you add optional arguments to imagegrabscreen()?

I propose:
imagegrabscreen(int posx, posy, sizex, sizey);

This would enable grabbing only part of the screen.

The purpose is to make the function faster. I have a 1920x1200 screen and it takes 1 to 2 seconds and I only need to grab a small part of the screen.

In my opinion, this feature request requires the RFC process[1],
thus suspending this ticket.

Personally, I'm opposed to extend the capabilities of
imagegrabscreen(), and imagegrabwindow(), for that matter, because
neither is portable.

Given the lack of further feedback and no RFC, I'm closing this as
WONTFIX.
