Hi all,

I've been messing around with ways of getting a screenshot into Processing to use as the basis of some image manipulations.  I came up with some reasonably functional code and thought I'd post it here in case anyone else needed to do the same thing.

import java.awt.AWTException;
import java.awt.Robot;
import java.awt.Rectangle;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;

PImage screenShot;

static public void main(String args[]) {
  PApplet.main(new String[] { 
    "--present", "shooter"  }
  );
}

void setup() {
  size(screen.width, screen.height);
  screenShot = getScreen();
}

void draw () {
  image(screenShot,0,0, width, height);
}

PImage getScreen() {
  GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
  GraphicsDevice[] gs = ge.getScreenDevices();
  DisplayMode mode = gs[0].getDisplayMode();
  Rectangle bounds = new Rectangle(0, 0, mode.getWidth(), mode.getHeight());
  BufferedImage desktop = new BufferedImage(mode.getWidth(), mode.getHeight(), BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);

  try {
    desktop = new Robot(gs[0]).createScreenCapture(bounds);
  }
  catch(AWTException e) {
    System.err.println("Screen capture failed.");
  }

  return (new PImage(desktop));
}

Of course, if there's a better way of doing this, I'd be glad to hear it.

Enjoy!
