Class: camera
Description
Takes a picture.
(boolean) = camera.takePicture()
This function must be called while preview is active, that is Camera.start() has been called.
If it returns true, then the platform will asynchronously take a picture from the Camera (eventually using flash) then call Camera.onEvent callback one or more times.
It is your responsability to define Camera.onEvent before calling Camera.takePicture()
Camera.onEvent function takes two arguments:
- a number, indicating the type of event
- a data buffer (string) depending on the event type
Event types are:
- 0: shutter sound is triggered, data is empty (if supported)
- 1: uncompressed image ready, data contains the uncompressed image (android only, optional)
- 2: jpeg image ready, data contains jpeg image. This event is always fired if takePicture() was successful
Return values
Returns (number) False if an error occured
Example
require "camera"
local cw,ch=512,512 --Preview requested size
local pw,ph=8192,8192 -- Request a very large picture, os will give us what it can do at best
Camera.texture=RenderTarget.new(cw,ch,true)
cw,ch,pw,ph=Camera.start(Camera.texture,dev,pw,ph)
print("Using Camera Size:",cw,ch, "Picture:",pw,ph)
Core.asyncCall(function()
Core.yield(1) --Wait one second
Camera.setFlash(2) --Enable flash
Camera.onEvent=function(evt,data)
print("Event:",evt,"Data:",#data)
end
print("takePic",Camera.takePicture())
Camera.setFlash(0) --Set back flash to auto
end)
