In a Workspace evaluate

    Form fromUser writeJPEGfileNamed: 'myFile.jpeg'

This gives you a cursor with which you select the rectangular screen area you
like to have written to the file.

Browse the class side of class form, category 'Instance creation' and the
instance side of the same class, category 'fileIn/out' for more information.

I once was possible to create EPS output from Morphic, but I haven't tested it
recently. There  was (is) a visitor framework which could be extended to create
SVG output.
