Dear developers, I am doing OpenGL graphics programing and I would like to display some applications from a Win32 or Unix machine as textures on objects.
For this I need to be able to read the pixels of an application from the framebuffer on a remote (or current) machine, and set these pixels as a texture in OpenGL. My problem is to read the pixels in the framebuffer. I have looked at the vncServer source code for Win32 but it is not obvious to me where to start and how the pixels are read. Could you tell me if VNC is able to do what I say. In concept I think I need to embbed a VNC listener into my application to get the pixels from your VNC server. This listener will just pass to my rendering application the pixel data which will then be turned into textures. Please tell me if VNC is where to start for me and give me some advices on where to look first if possible. thanks Yohan _______________________________________________________________________ Yohan BAILLOT Virtual Reality Laboratory, Advanced Information Technology (Code 5580), Naval Research Laboratory, 4555 Overlook Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20375-5337 Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Work : (202) 404 7801 Home : (202) 518 3960 Cell : (703) 732 5679 Fax : (202) 767 1122 Web : http://ait.nrl.navy.mil/vrlab/projects/BARS/BARS.html _______________________________________________________________________ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
