There is no offical API for capturing the screen, because:

- This is a fairly large security hole, allowing you to retrieve any private data on the screen.

- We may run on hardware that never has a consistent view of the screen to capture -- for example, it is not uncommon for LCD panels to support partial updates of the LCD from the framebuffer, so the "real" contents of the screen only lives on the LCD itself, not in the framebuffer.
