ScreenJot is a powerful screen capture program that makes it quick and easy to take a "picture" of what is on your screen at any given time. ScreenJot lets you capture the entire desktop, the contents of a specific window or a cropped section of the screen.

LiquidThought is now a Certified iPhone Developer

We have a couple of new iPhone app concepts under development. Please stay tuned for more announcements.

pxCamera

pxCamera is a simple video camera capture class that layers on top of pxCore, our portable opensource framebuffer library. The design of pxCamera makes it well suited to do a variety of fun and interesting things with captured video frames - like computer vision or image processing applications.

The design of the pxCamera API followed a few principles as follows:

*Be Simple – Allows for enumeration of available capture devices and the ability to initiate capturing frames from a given camera into a pxBuffer(framebuffer).
*No UI Policy – Simple capture into a framebuffer. No UI is assumed.
*Support multiple capture sources simultaneously. [I’ve tested with two webcams] pxCamera should support any DirectShow compatible video source.
*Portable API – The API is portable even though the implementation is currently only for Windows.

pxCore 1.2

We've made some minor additions to our portable open source framebuffer library, pxCore. Most of these additionals were added to support a video capture library that we'll be posting in the near future. Some of the changes to pxCore include:

* Added the ability to directly blit pxBuffer frame buffer descriptors.
* Added beginNativeDrawing and endNativeDrawing to allow native drawing outside of the paint loop.
* Added an example that demonstrates using platform native drawing methods in conjunction with the portable frame buffer primitives in pxCore.
