-   Gamma, Colorspace conversion and Jpeg compression are taken from the Render settings panels.
-   
+   Writes an image file with the current displayed frame.
+
+   The image is written to *'filename'*. The path may be absolute (eg. "/home/foo/image") or relative when started with
+   "//" (eg. "//image"). Note that absolute paths are not portable between platforms.
+   If the filename contains a "#", it will be replaced by an incremental index so that screenshots can be taken multiple
+   times without overwriting the previous ones (eg. "image-#").
+
+   Settings for the image are taken from the render settings (file format and respective settings, gamma and colospace
+   conversion, etc). The image resolution matches the framebuffer, meaning, the window size and aspect ratio.
+   When running from the standalone player, instead of the embedded player, only PNG files are supported. Additional
+   color conversions are also not supported.
