  	"fmt"
  )
  
  func main() {
  	n := screenshot.NumActiveDisplays()
  
  	for i := 0; i < n; i++ {
  		bounds := screenshot.GetDisplayBounds(i)
  
  		img, err := screenshot.CaptureRect(bounds)
  		if err != nil {
  			panic(err)
  		}
  		fileName := fmt.Sprintf("%d_%dx%d.png", i, bounds.Dx(), bounds.Dy())
  		file, _ := os.Create(fileName)
  		defer file.Close()
  		png.Encode(file, img)
  
  		fmt.Printf("#%d : %v \"%s\"\n", i, bounds, fileName)
  	}
  }
