egui-cameras is the egui integration for cameras, a cross-platform camera library for Rust. It owns the thin glue between a running cameras::pump::Pump and an egui::TextureHandle, so you can render live camera frames as an egui::Image with a few lines of code.

Every camera-side primitive (pause / resume pump, single-frame capture, unified CameraSource, hotplug monitor) lives upstream in cameras itself and is re-exported from this crate as egui_cameras::cameras, so a single dependency is enough.

Quick Start

[dependencies]
egui-cameras = "0.1"
eframe = "0.32"

use egui_cameras::cameras::{self, PixelFormat, Resolution, StreamConfig};
use eframe::egui;

struct App {
    stream: egui_cameras::Stream,
}

impl App {
    fn new() -> Result<Self, cameras::Error> {
        let devices = cameras::devices()?;
        let device = devices.first().ok_or(cameras::Error::DeviceNotFound("no cameras".into()))?;
        let config = StreamConfig {
            resolution: Resolution { width: 1280, height: 720 },
            framerate: 30,
            pixel_format: PixelFormat::Bgra8,
        };
        let camera = cameras::open(device, config)?;
        Ok(Self { stream: egui_cameras::spawn(camera) })
    }
}

impl eframe::App for App {
    fn update(&mut self, ctx: &egui::Context, _frame: &mut eframe::Frame) {
        egui_cameras::update_texture(&mut self.stream, ctx).ok();
        egui::CentralPanel::default().show(ctx, |ui| {
            egui_cameras::show(&self.stream, ui);
        });
        ctx.request_repaint();
    }
}

What's in the box

Item	Purpose
`Stream`	Bundle of a `Pump` + `Sink` + `TextureHandle`. Holds everything one live camera needs.
`Sink`	Shared slot the pump writes each frame into. Cheap to clone.
`spawn(camera) -> Stream`	Convenience: spawn a pump and wire it to a fresh `Stream` with a default texture name.
`spawn_named(camera, name) -> Stream`	Like `spawn`, but lets you name the texture (useful for multi-camera apps).
`spawn_pump(camera, sink) -> Pump`	Lower-level: spawn a pump that writes into your own `Sink`.
`publish_frame(sink, frame)`	Write a frame into a sink (for custom pump code).
`take_frame(sink) -> Option<Frame>`	Pull the latest frame out of a sink.
`frame_to_color_image(frame)`	Convert a cameras `Frame` into an `egui::ColorImage`.
`update_texture(stream, ctx)`	Upload the latest frame to the stream's texture. Call each `update` tick.
`show(stream, ui)`	Draw the texture as an `egui::Image` scaled to fit the available area.

Pump controls (set_active, capture_frame, stop_and_join) are re-exported directly from cameras::pump.

Pause + snapshot

Pause the pump when the user isn't looking, grab fresh frames on demand without closing the camera.

use egui_cameras::{capture_frame, set_active};

// Park the pump (no per-frame Rust work; camera stays open):
set_active(&stream.pump, false);

// Grab a fresh snapshot regardless of pause state:
let frame = capture_frame(&stream.pump);

Features

Feature	Default	Description
`rtsp`	off	Forwards to `cameras/rtsp`; enables `CameraSource::Rtsp` on macOS and Windows.

Versioning

egui-cameras pins a specific minor version of cameras via pub use cameras;, so installing egui-cameras = "0.1" gives you a compatible cameras automatically.

Example

A runnable example lives at apps/egui-demo in the repository: live preview, pause toggle, take-picture button.
