wmwebcam 0.3.5 - written by Antti Takala <fragment@nic.fi>
|
||
|
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
better documentation coming later, don't panic.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
this is for watching your webcam which has a video4linux driver in your
|
||
|
|
windowmakers dock..
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
this is actually just a edited version of vidcat (from w3cam's package)
|
||
|
|
I combined it with minirgb to open a dockapp window where to draw the
|
||
|
|
image from the webcam. some code is also taken from timecops
|
||
|
|
wmtime-minirgb demo (windowopening etcetc).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
default jpeg output file is /tmp/wmwebcam.jpg and default quality is 100%,
|
||
|
|
change the default values if necessary from the source code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
also remember to check the wmwebcam.pl and edit it
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
problems running this app? first I was going to make this only for myself but
|
||
|
|
decided to release it anyway. don't ask help if this doesn't work on your
|
||
|
|
system, sorry =)
