[osg-users] basic method to save a screenshot from 3D model?

[lucas Grijander]

Hi everybody,

this is what I added to my code to try to save a screenshot. however I just got a black jpg file... any clue?

    //Save screenshot
    osg::Group *root = new osg::Group;
    osg::Geode *geode = new osg::Geode;
    //Add my geometry to display to the scene
    geode->addDrawable(myBody->myBody);

    //Allocate an image of 800x800
    osg::Image *shot = new osg::Image;
    shot->allocateImage(800, 800, 24, GL_RGB, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE);

    osgViewer::Viewer *v = new osgViewer::Viewer;
    osg::ref_ptr<osg::GraphicsContext::Traits> traits = new osg::GraphicsContext::Traits;

    traits->x =0;
    traits->y = 0;
    traits->width = 800;
    traits->height = 800;
    traits->windowDecoration = false;
    traits->doubleBuffer = false;
    traits->sharedContext = 0;
    /*here you put pbuffer to true*/
    traits->pbuffer = true;
    osg::ref_ptr<osg::GraphicsContext> _gc= osg::GraphicsContext::createGraphicsContext(traits.get());

    v->getCamera()->setGraphicsContext(_gc.get());
    v->getCamera()->setViewport(new osg::Viewport(0,0,800,800));
    v->getCamera()->setReferenceFrame(osg::Transform::ABSOLUTE_RF);
    
    v->getCamera()->setRenderTargetImplementation(osg::Camera::FRAME_BUFFER_OBJECT);
    v->getCamera()->attach(osg::Camera::COLOR_BUFFER, shot);

    v->setSceneData(root);
    
    v->frame();

    osgDB::writeImageFile(*shot,"test.jpg");   

Do I have to add anything else??

Jaime.

Hi Jaime,

 Unless you have a context you can't do a screenshot. So you can intialite an OpenGL graphic context yourself (see osg::GraphicsContext::Traits) and set your viewer in "background" mode. You can initialite your context this way, or something similar, to have a pbuffer:


osgViewer::Viewer *v = new osgViewer::Viewer;
osg::ref_ptr<osg::GraphicsContext::Traits> traits = new osg::GraphicsContext::Traits;

    traits->x =x;
    traits->y = y;
    traits->width = width;

    traits->height = height;
    traits->windowDecoration = false;
    traits->doubleBuffer = false;
    traits->sharedContext = 0;
   /*here you put pbuffer to true*/
   traits->pbuffer = true;


    osg::ref_ptr<osg::GraphicsContext> _gc= osg::GraphicsContext::createGraphicsContext(traits.get());

    if (!_gc)
    {
        osg::notify(osg::NOTICE)<<"Failed to create pbuffer, failing back to normal graphics window."<<std::endl;

        traits->pbuffer = false;
        _gc = osg::GraphicsContext::createGraphicsContext(traits.get());
    }
    v->getCamera()->setGraphicsContext(_gc.get());
    v->getCamera()->setViewport(new osg::Viewport(x,y,width,height));


Hope this help.

Cheers

thanks Robert.
However it forces me to create a viewer... is there any option to just create a camera and make a single render to obtain the screenshot?
