Hi all

I'm trying to figure out how to crop the image returned after capturing an image via the camera.... The aim being that after taking a picture with the camera, the user will drag and scale the image captured within a border on screen... and then on pressing continue I will recapture just the part of the image within the border.

Any ideas guys??? Is there a way to capture a specific screen area?

Cheers

Put what you want to be saved in a group, and pass it as the first argument to display.save().

Or, you can save the entire screen (save the entire group), and apply a mask that only shows half of the screen (you'd create a bitmap image that's black and white, with the white parts being the area you want stuff to show).

Thanks for the reply Jonathan...
Yeah, I toyed with the mask option.. but doesnt do what I'm after.... Nor does the display.save.

I am trying to crop a subsection of a full screen capture... and save just that selection to a new image.

So I need to find a way to act as if I was able to do something like

display.capture (40,40,280,40,280,240,40,240)....

where the params are the coordinates of the selection are to be captured.

Any thoughts
