Graphics

Hi

Does anyone know how to script frame grabbing on XPression? I have a case, where I would like to use GPI to grab a frame and assign the grabbed image to an element.

Thanks

Niels

Hi Niels,

I did it in the past. I don't know the code by heart but it involves including the xpTools lib.

Defining an xpImage object and xpOutputframebuffer.

Then export the Framebuffer to the Imageobject and then save the Image object as BMP or PNG, JPG. Although in c# you can only save as BMP it seems.

I can look up the code but only tomorrow.

Best regards,

Kenneth

Oops, sorry Niels, I misread your question. I thought you wanted to make a framegrab of the output.

I was looking into that and I knew I had tested it a few months ago but I couldn't get it to work. It reminds me that I still have to check that.

But as far as framegrabbing goes, I haven't tried that yet.

Best regards,

Kenneth

Hi Kenneth,

Not to worry.

Yes, I need to grab from one of the inputs and use that as material. But in spite I have spent quite a while looking through the SDK manual I haven't found a way to access this feature.

Best

Hi Niels,

I agree, I haven't found that functionality either.

For now we'll have to do it manually using the Input Grabber.

Might be a good idea for @bolson to add this functionality to the wishlist of Xpression.

Good luck,

Kenneth

Hi Kenneth

Yes, that might be a nice-to-have.

Thanks for looking into it.
