Need help saving images, and sharing a tip I discovered

Solar2D Daily Builds and Public Releases

Nah, I knew that part, re: capturing offscreen. What appears to be happening is that it PULLS my image down, and a bit offscreen just before taking the ‘capture’ and saving it (or it just thinks that’s how it is already).

I can see it all on the screen and the display group is sized to be only on the screen. So, something else is going on.

I’m doing it differently now and no-longer using zoomEven. From the perspective of the user, it looks exactly the same now as it did with zoomEven, but now it saves fine. With the zoomEven, I could see everything I wanted to have captured on the screen… it was all there from the users perspective. However, apparently from the display.save’s perspective, it is NOT all there = it’s taller and off the screen. This isn’t how it looks on the screen in real-time.

Well, we can reproduce this issue on our end. Would you mind sending us a small sample project that reproduces this issue please? You can do so by clicking the “Report a Bug” link at the top of this web page. [import]uid: 32256 topic_id: 30199 reply_id: 122912[/import]

I’m gonna guess by can, you mean can’t :wink:

I’ll see if I can whip up some simple version of what I’m doing since the one I have is all over the place complicated.

Thanks for looking into it. [import]uid: 169520 topic_id: 30199 reply_id: 122923[/import]

Right, we “can’t” reproduce it. Bad typos are bad.

I appreciate you looking into sending us a reproducible project. Once we’ve found the bug we’ll squash it for you. It will make Corona just a bit better for everyone else too. [import]uid: 32256 topic_id: 30199 reply_id: 122927[/import]

#25

Our capture APIs don’t have problems with zoomEven. But… you cannot capture objects that are offscreen. If your object is partially offscreen, then it will be trimmed. This is because our capture APIs can only capture the pixels that you see onscreen. This is by design. We don’t consider this a bug, because, there’s no way to capture that content. So, capturing the entire background of a zoomEven app will always have its sides trimmed because its sides are always offscreen. [import]uid: 32256 topic_id: 30199 reply_id: 122875[/import]
