Hey Guys,
I see there is a screenshot.h in dvc_app, is this a method to take a screen
shot? Do you have some sample code for how to do this? Have you used this to
make movies, or have you used a screen capture program to save an animation?
Thanks,
Nick

Re: [Dvc-devel] DVC help

Yes there are screenshots... unfortunately there is a bug on Windows
where the red and green color channels are reversed.

You can save a single frame by hitting 's'.  The frame will be saved to
the working directory.  You can toggle record mode (writes every frame)
by hitting 'r'.  You'll know you're in record mode because the cursor
will change.

For a listing of all controls, see line 324 at: http://dvc.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/dvc/trunk/application/sdl/DVC_AppGL.cpp?revision=473&view=markup
