Screenshot

Simple cross-platform pure Go screen shot library. (tested on linux&windows&osx)

Changes:

• Changed: linux and freebsd source code is one file now
• Changed: linux (and freebsd) code refactored
• Changed: Connection to X in linux is separated from screenshoting (Now no memory leakage while screenshoting in a loop)

Basic Usage

Import the package

import (
    "github.com/rostislaved/screenshot"
)

func main() {

	screenshoter := screenshot.New()

	img, err := screenshot.CaptureScreen()
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
}

Dependencies

• Windows - None
• Linux/FreeBSD - https://github.com/BurntSushi/xgb
• OSX - cgo (CoreGraphics,CoreFoundation, that should not be a problem)
