Webcam plugin with low CPU consumption

[Greolt]

Using the video plugin in a real situation did not prove so good.

The resize function reduces the video window from the bottom right corner. 

As it is reduced the crosshair moves to stay in the middle of the remaining visible video window.

So in other words the crosshairs move in relation to the centre of the camera/spindle. Not good.

It needs to reduce the video frame from all sides equally so that the crosshair stays static in relation to the camera position.

Hi Greg

in version V1.06 you can configure the behaviour under config plugins. You have the option to keep the crosshair on its place, or the crosshair stays centered in the video window, in dependence of the video window size.

I have a situation where a setting has become "stuck"

Tried reinstalling the plugin but that did not fix it.

Where does it store its setup info between sessions.

Looked in the XML and it does not appear to be there.

Hi Greg

all settings are stored in the registry. You find it HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\KD-Soft\PluginWebCam.

Can I simply delete those entries from the rgistry and  Webcam will reenter them?

yes

As far as the window resize we are half way there.

Now the cross hairs remain static with the camera but we can still only reduce size from one direction.

As shown in the pics.  One at full screen and the other at reduced window.

Can the camera plugin be modified so we can adjust the crosshairs to an adjustable center? As it is we must mke a mechanical adjustment to get eh camera exactly centered on the axis of the spindle. If the crosshair was adjustable we could do it in software and make a much more accurate adjustment.

thanks

Hi


@Greg,
you are right, it is only possible to re size the way you want, only from bottom right. Due to my performance approach, I don't see a simple way, to get it the way you want.


@Ron
you can set the offset from the camera to your spindle in the config menu. After positioning is done, clicking the button "calc offset" the machine will move to the set edge.

   Mabey look at your dc and see how your doing your screen child dc cooridinate system.......

Mabey you can do a child dc offset, to a "zero" position for the center of what ever the child window extends is
