     	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)
     	}
     }
  • output example

     $ go run main.go
     #0 : (0,0)-(1280,800) "0_1280x800.png"
     #1 : (-293,-1440)-(2267,0) "1_2560x1440.png"
     #2 : (-1373,-1812)-(-293,108) "2_1080x1920.png"
     $ ls -1
     0_1280x800.png
     1_2560x1440.png
     2_1080x1920.png
     main.go

coordinate

Y-axis is downward direction in this library. The origin of coordinate is upper-left corner of main display. This means coordinate system is similar to Windows OS
