Screen Capture

[JNJC]

Hi Folks,

Is it possible to do a screen capture directly to a variable without first writing to the memory card? At the moment I do somehting along the lines of the following:

screen:save("tmp.png")
local ScreenBackground = Image.load("tmp.png")


Is it possible to do something like:

ScreenBackground = screen:save()

Thanks,
JC

I take it that you mean in lua.

try

ScreenBackground = screen

Thanks for the reply,

Yes in Lua. I have tried this and I get the following error when I try and use the variable:

error: luaWidgets.lua:277: bad argument #2 to `blit' (Image expected, got table)

Is the actual image contained somewhere in the table ? Any ideas how I would access it ?
