There is a command line program called webcam (part of xawtv package) that may be suitable for your requirements. It can also upload the images to a remote machine through ftp/other protocols or store them locally. It can also take a series of images based on a threshold amount of change in the image. I'm not sure though ImageMagick and gimp, too, may have some way of doing this through command line. (Suggesting command line program because you are trying to write your code means perhaps you want this ability to be integrated with some of your own programs. At times it may be easier to wrap an existing CLI tool instead of writing code at low level.) Mayuresh. _______________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List
