How to get a screen shot in jmonkey3

I am a newbie with jmonkey. I have a simple app that i built following the jmonkey tutorials.

How can i grab a screenshot of what jmonkey is displaying. If i could select what of the nodes on the screen would be in the image that would be even better.

Just ran into this problem myself; in my case the standard print screen key worked on windowed JME3 apps, but not fullscreen. I searched & found this post, but the link @Chaotic provided seems to be dead. I was able to find the screenshot info in the JME3 wiki which states:

The com.jme3.app.state.ScreenshotAppState enables your users to take screenshots of the running game.

You activate this feature as follows in your simpleInitApp() method:

ScreenshotAppState screenShotState = new ScreenshotAppState();
this.stateManager.attach(screenShotState);

The default screenshot key is KeyInput.KEY_SYSRQ, also known as “System Request / Print Screen key. On Mac keyboards, this key does not exist, so on Mac OS you take screenshots using Command+Shift+3 (fullscreen) or Command+Shift+4 (windowed: press space to select a window and then click).

The screenshot is saved to the user directory.

There's docs on the JME3 tutorial pages:
