Syntax
include Xvlib.h
XvGetStill(dpy, port, d, gc, vx, vy, vw, vh, dx, dy, dw, dh)
register Display *dpy;
XvPortID port;
Drawable d;
GC gc;
int vx, vy, dx, dy;
unsigned int vw, vh;
unsigned int dw, dh;
Arguments
dpy Specifies the display screen on which the Xv Server is
to accept requests from Xv clients. If the display
option is not specified, Xv uses the display screen
specified by your DISPLAY environment variable. The
display option has the format hostname:number. Using
two colons (::) instead of one (:) indicates that DECnet
is to be used for transport.
port Defines the port to which the still is output'd.
d Defines the drawable from which the still is to be cap‐
tured. Pixmaps are currently not supported.
gc Defines the graphical context. GC components are: sub‐
window-mode, clip-x-origin, clip-y-origin, and clip-
mask.
vx,vy,vw,vh Define the location and size of the destination video
region into which the still is to be written. vx and vy
define the x and y coordinates of the upper-left corner
of the video region; vw and vh define the width and
height, in pixels, of the video region.
dx,dy,dw,dh Define the location and size of the source drawable from
which the still image is to be captured. dx and dy
define the x and y coordinates of the upper-left corner
of the drawable region; dw and dh define the width and
height, in pixels, of the drawable region.
Description
captures a single frame of video from a drawable. The position and
size of the destination (video) rectangle is specified by vx, vy, vw,
and vh. The position and size of the source (drawable) rectangle is
specified by dx, dy, dw, and dh.
Drawable data is clipped to the bounds of the drawable, scaled to the
requested video region size (or the closest size supported) and clipped
to the bounds of the video encoding. The contents of any region not
updated with drawable data is undefined.
If the port is grabbed by another client, this request is ignored, and
an XvVideoNotify event with detail XvBusy is generated for the draw‐
able.
