Take screenshot of the OpenGL window about go-flutter HOT 6 CLOSED

I guess we could try glReadPixels which captures the OpenGL window into a memory buffer. (Need to format the data to jpg manually).

This is the role of the embedder to perform those low-level tasks. I am not against having this by default into the embedder.
(I prefer the issue over the readme's todo list)

What about https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51117958/how-to-take-a-screenshot-of-the-current-widget-flutter/51118088 ?

from go-flutter.

this looks like a good mvp approach for now to get things going. Its also pure dart and so runs anywhere. That will get us a raster image and from there we can decide what to do with it.

EDIT.
In the back of my mind have been usign the golang and dart PDF generation stuff and so far the golang stuff is way ahead.
SO once we get the image, we can them pump in into a PDF template for both mobile and desktop to produce a PDF with the image inside.
Then its bespoke code for each platform to print it.

Thats my current thinking.
But until you have cemented in the Plugin API, its hard to see how i can use the golag PDF on both mobile and desktop. Just so you know... Hopefully your thiking about reuse of golang code across both mobile and desktop ?

"Hopefully your thinking about reuse of golang code across both mobile and desktop ?"

If you want to reuse golang's code across both mobile and desktop, you will have to write a go-flutter-desktop-embedder's plugin which will proxy your plugin's request/response to something like https://github.com/adieu/flutter_go.

Thanks for the heads up

I think I can easily deal with that.

This project is awesome

There is even a pub plugin for screenshot (no platform message needed)
