Hi guys,
I can use the below code to display full screen in Windows and Linux. but in Mac OS X, it always have the menu bar in the top! Is it possible to display full screen in mac with opencv? any one have ideas of this?

Regards Andy

solved fullscreen but crashed! this is the code: I used opencv2.4.3 and have done like this link http://code.opencv.org/issues/2846

but still crased!

cvNamedWindow(WIN_NAME, CV_WINDOW_NORMAL);
cvSetWindowProperty(WIN_NAME, CV_WND_PROP_FULLSCREEN, CV_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN);
int screen_width = GlobalData::Instance()->GetScreenWidth();
int screen_height = GlobalData::Instance()->GetScreenHeight();
IplImage* img = cvCreateImage(cvSize(screen_width, screen_height), IPL_DEPTH_8U, 3);
cvZero(img);
cvShowImage(WIN_NAME, img);
cvWaitKey(0);
cvReleaseImage(&img);
cvDestroyWindow(WIN_NAME);

I test it and see it is crashed and don't want to mislead someone. so I try to found the bug of my code. but after one day effort. the bug still didn't fix. :(

probably won't help with your crash, but make it : cvWaitKey(0); instead of sleep(1);

And for a starter, leave the C code and try the C++ interface first. There are tons of issues regarding pointers in C - interface, which needs hardcore debugging. So use namedWindow, setWindowProperty, Mat::zero instead of IplImage, ... Code would look like:

 namedWindow("test", CV_WINDOW_NORMAL);
 setWindowProperty("test", CV_WND_PROP_FULLSCREEN, CV, WINDOW_FULLSCREEN);
 int screen_width + int screen_heigth remain same;
 Mat img = Mat::zeros(screen_width, screen_heigth, CV_8UC3);
 imshow("test", img); waitKey(0);

Do not bother with releasing and destroying in C++, will be done for you when calling destructor of Mat element in garbage collector.

Thanks. I try your ideas. and use the simple code. it still can't work on my macbookair with osx10.8.2. the programe run it shows a full screen white dialog(program cashed). but I can't quit (command+q, command+option+esc )except I push down power button on the keyboard.

The simple code:

include "opencv2test.h"

include <opencv2/core/core.hpp>

include <opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp>

include <opencv2/imgproc/imgproc.hpp>

define WIN_NAME "Test"

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int screen_height = 768; int screen_width = 1366; cv::namedWindow(WIN_NAME, CV_WINDOW_NORMAL); cv::setWindowProperty(WIN_NAME, CV_WND_PROP_FULLSCREEN, CV_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN); cv::Mat img = cv::Mat::zeros(screen_width, screen_height, CV_8UC3); cv::imshow(WIN_NAME, img); cv::waitKey(100); }

you didn't even change the window name... please fill in "test", which will make it more clear, change to static variable defining after that. Also, I am wondering why this shouldn't work. It seems to me you cannot define where the crash happens. Please again, go into debug mode and go step by step through your code. Are you sure it even gets executed?

Ok excuse me for posting another answer, but this seem to be the solution. There has been a bug report about going fullscreen on macOSX:

http://code.opencv.org/issues/2846

Basically use the patch that the person suggested supplies and recompile openCV. Else wait for it to get fixed.

Yes, I rebuilded the Opencv2.4.3 as the person suggested but still have the same problem. I will retry it for opencv2.4.2 then back here because the person used opencv2.4.2, even i know it is most probably still have the problem.

The solution is pretty straightforward, though it is not mentioned in documents when looking for the namedWindow arguments.

namedWindow("Name", CV_WINDOW_NORMAL);
setWindowProperty("Name", CV_WND_PROP_FULLSCREEN, CV_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN);
imshow("Name", your_image); 
waitKey(0);

try:

cvNamedWindow(CALIBRATE_FORM_NAME, CV_WINDOW_NORMAL);

(AUTOSIZE won't let you resize windows)
