# Wrote this to be able to take a selective-area screenshot for my note-taking
# workflow
# Screenshots are saved in the respective img/ directory of each 
# subject/course/book directory under ~/Documents/notes/
# This is so that I can use those images in markdown while writing notes
# and compile them using pandoc. Useful to take screenshots of diagrams
# from book that I am reading.
