How can I get one resolution feed from camera in OpenCV (640x320) but cut it into half and display only one half of the frame (320x240). So not to scale down, but to actually crop. Should I use IplImage or Mat? I am quite new to OpenCV and a bit confused :)

I am using this quite standard code to get 640x480 input resolution.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include "opencv2/core/core.hpp"
#include "opencv2/imgproc/imgproc.hpp"
#include "opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp"

using namespace std;
char key;
int main()
{
    cvNamedWindow("Camera_Output", 1);    //Create window

    CvCapture* capture = cvCaptureFromCAM(1);  //Capture using camera 1 connected to system
    cvSetCaptureProperty( capture, CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH, 640 );
    cvSetCaptureProperty( capture, CV_CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT, 480 );

    while(1){ //Create loop for live streaming

        IplImage* frame = cvQueryFrame(capture); //Create image frames from capture
        cvShowImage("Camera_Output", frame);   //Show image frames on created window

        key = cvWaitKey(10);     //Capture Keyboard stroke
        if (char(key) == 27){
            break;      //ESC key loop will break.
        }
    }

    cvReleaseCapture(&capture); //Release capture.
    cvDestroyWindow("Camera_Output"); //Destroy Window
    return 0;
}

I am using this quite standard code to get 640x480 input resolution.resolution and I made some changes to crop resolution to 320x240. Is it good or should I use Mat instead of IplImage?
