CRT screens display images by moving beams of electrons very quickly across the screen. Once the beam of the monitor has reached the edge of the screen, it is switched off, and the deflection circuit voltages (or currents) are returned to the values they had for the other edge of the screen; this would have the effect of retracing the screen in ...
Applications with screen logging abilities may take screenshots of the whole screen, of just one application, or even just around the mouse cursor.
