Hi there,

in my openCV application (2.4, windows 7 32 bit), I am drawing some openGL content in a cv::namedWindow structure. I works fine, but I am wondering if it is possible to write all of the window content to a cv::Mat or an image file via imwrite?

This would be fine because I don't want to make screenshots everytime I log my results.

Thanks for your help! Johannes

probably easier, to retrieve the pixels from the opengl context, than from the highgui window:

Mat screen(h,w,CV_8UC3);
glReadPixels (0, 0, w, h, GL_RGB, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, screen.data);

(i'm not sure, but w might need to be a multiple of 4 for this)

Thanks for your answer. The problem is that the application crashes all the time I call glReadPixels... hm.

You have no error message or something written in the console?

Ok, the image can be written now, but it is black. I will try that w is a multiple of 4.

Moster, thanks for your advice with glReadPixels! It works now. I also found this on stackoverflow:
