Hi,

I try to make a snapshot (gc.copyArea) of an OpenGLCanvas with some
OpenGL-Stuff implemented with JOGL. Finally I get also my snapshot, but the
OpenGL-Animation is never displayed in the image. Is there something to get
also the OpenGL-Animation displayed in the GLCanvas displayed in the image ?
Thanks in advance.

ciao,
micha

If I understand correctly, I think I've seen this before. It may be the
case that the OpenGL stuff is being drawn in an overlay layer.

I found this link that describes the problem and may provide a solution.

I think this part might be the most helpful:

If this sorts out the problem, please report back your results to this
group.

Hi Wane,

thanks for your post. But finally, it was as you said some OpenGL-stuff.
JOGL provides therefore a wonderful method (Screenshot.writeImageFile(...)).
So this works. now I have the problem to make a screenshot of a TableViewer.
I need to say, that I change the view (loading new content) and I make then
a screenshot. All labels are fine. But the tableviewer is always too late
filled with the content. So the table in my screenshot is empty. Even with
Thread.sleep it seems that the table filling stops for a moment. So the
result is the same. Any ideas ?

Ok, I got it. During updating the TableViewer I set the TableViewer
invisible and after again visible. It seems that this operation slows the
fast displaying of the TableViewer after the update of the content.

But thanks again for your post Wayne.

regards,
Michael
