XvGetStill(3X)															    XvGetStill(3X)

Name
       XvGetStill - capture a single frame of video from a drawable

Syntax
       include Xvlib.h

       XvGetStill(dpy, port, d, gc, vx, vy, vw, vh, dx, dy, dw, dh)

       register Display *dpy;
       XvPortID port;
       Drawable d;
       GC gc;
       int vx, vy, dx, dy;
       unsigned int vw, vh;
       unsigned int dw, dh;

Arguments
       dpy	      Specifies  the  display  screen  on which the Xv Server is to accept requests from Xv clients.  If the display option is not
		      specified, Xv uses the display screen specified by your DISPLAY environment variable.  The display  option  has  the  format
		      hostname:number.	Using two colons (::) instead of one (:) indicates that DECnet is to be used for transport.

       port	      Defines the port to which the still is output'd.

       d	      Defines the drawable from which the still is to be captured.  Pixmaps are currently not supported.

       gc	      Defines the graphical context.  GC components are: subwindow-mode, clip-x-origin, clip-y-origin, and clip-mask.

       vx,vy,vw,vh    Define  the location and size of the destination video region into which the still is to be written.  vx and vy define the x
		      and y coordinates of the upper-left corner of the video region; vw and vh define the width and height,  in  pixels,  of  the
		      video region.

       dx,dy,dw,dh    Define  the  location  and size of the source drawable from which the still image is to be captured.  dx and dy define the x
		      and y coordinates of the upper-left corner of the drawable region; dw and dh define the width and height, in pixels, of  the
		      drawable region.

Description
       captures  a  single frame of video from a drawable.  The position and size of the destination (video) rectangle is specified by vx, vy, vw,
       and vh.	The position and size of the source (drawable) rectangle is specified by dx, dy, dw, and dh.

       Drawable data is clipped to the bounds of the drawable, scaled to the requested video region size  (or  the  closest  size  supported)  and
       clipped to the bounds of the video encoding.  The contents of any region not updated with drawable data is undefined.

       If the port is grabbed by another client, this request is ignored, and an XvVideoNotify event with detail XvBusy is generated for the draw-
       able.

Returned Values
       [Success]
	       Returned if XvGetStill(3X) completed successfully.

       [XvBadExtension]
	       Returned if the Xv extension is unavailable.

       [XvBadAlloc]
	       Returned if XvGetStill(3X) failed to allocate memory to process the request.

Diagnostics
       [XvBadPort]
	       Generated if the requested port does not exist.

       [BadDrawable]
	       Generated if the requested drawable does not exist.

       [BadGC] Generated if the requested graphics context does not exist.

       [BadAlloc]
	       Generated if there were insufficient resources to process the request.
