This seems like it should be very simple, but I can't find any explanation of how to do it. I tried these and neither worked:

cv2.setWindowProperty("display",cv.WND_PROP_FULLSCREEN, cv.WINDOW_FULLSCREEN)
cv2.setWindowProperty("display",cv2.WND_PROP_FULLSCREEN, cv2.WINDOW_FULLSCREEN)

I just keep getting this error message: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'WND_PROP_FULLSCREEN'

As you can see there's only cv2.CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE attribute available. To use FULLSIZE attribute, you need to use cv2.cv module.

cv2.setWindowProperty("Image", cv2.WND_PROP_FULLSCREEN, cv2.cv.WINDOW_FULLSCREEN)

Wow, this feels like a design flaw.

i tried using this, then the window launches as full screen but the video is same old 640x320. How to change that ?

Seriously? Is there no answer to this? I really don't want to change imaging libraries at this point over something so trivial.

Come on. Anyone?
