Capturing bitmaps

Procedure To compare the actual bitmap generated by the testcase against
the baseline bitmap generated by the bitmap tool or one of SilkTest's built-in
functions, click on the box icon preceding the error message.

As shown in the preceding figure, SilkTest opens the bitmap tool, opens both
