Using imwrite without screen capturing
显示 更早的评论
Hello,
I'm trying to make a movie with matlab (2010a). I generate frames with my script and then use imwrite to save them to files, eg 'frame-001.png', 'frame-002.png', etc.
My problem is that if I have another window over the matlab figure that call imwrite on I get an image of the window that's over the figure... which is insane.
The movie I'm trying to make has thousands of frames so it takes hours to make, so when the screensaver comes on I get a bunch of black frames even.
Is there a better to do this?
EDIT:
mapshow(...)
mapshow(...)
[im, map] = frame2im(getframe);
imnum = sprintf('%04d', ii);
imwrite(im, ['frames/frame-' imnum '.png'], 'png');
This is offending code snippet. It's probably getframe that's causing the problem.

Can you show us the code? There is definitely a way to save without this issue and I've never seen it. Are you printing the screen? What are you imwriting? Have you looked at saveas?

No, there is no better way. Disable the screen saver (e.g. by using the command system('powercfg') under Windows and avoid to cover the recorded window.
Do you re-use the existing window? This is much faster than creating a new FIGURE for each frame.

@Devin: Are we talking about what you *want* to do or what *has to be done* to solve it using Matlab?
I think it is not surprising, that a tool, which creates copies of the contents of the screen, is influenced by the contents of the screen. And if a task occupies the computer, it occupies the computer. Worrying does not increase the usability.
