## Features
- 🚀 **High Performance**: SIMD-optimized pixel operations, memory pooling, and zero-copy where possible
- 🖼️ **WebP Encoding**: Efficient WebP compression with configurable quality settings
- 🖥️ **Cross-Platform**: Windows (GDI/Graphics Capture), macOS (CoreGraphics), Linux (X11/Wayland)
- 🔧 **Hardware Acceleration**: Optional GPU acceleration on supported platforms
- 📊 **Multi-Display**: Capture from multiple monitors simultaneously
- 💾 **Memory Efficient**: Built-in memory pool to reduce allocations
- 🎯 **Flexible API**: Simple one-liners or advanced configuration options
- 🦀 **Pure Rust**: No C dependencies, safe Rust throughout
## Quick Start
Add to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
webp-screenshot-rust = "1.0"
```
## Examples
### Simple Capture
```rust
use webp_screenshot_rust::WebPScreenshot;
fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
// Capture primary display
let mut screenshot = WebPScreenshot::new()?;
let result = screenshot.capture_display(0)?;
result.save("screenshot.webp")?;
println!("Screenshot saved! Size: {} KB", result.size() / 1024);
Ok(())
}
```
### Custom Configuration
```rust
use webp_screenshot_rust::{WebPScreenshot, CaptureConfig, WebPConfig};
fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
let config = CaptureConfig {
webp_config: WebPConfig::high_quality(),
include_cursor: true,
use_hardware_acceleration: true,
..Default::default()
};
let mut screenshot = WebPScreenshot::with_config(config)?;
let result = screenshot.capture_display(0)?;
println!("Compression ratio: {:.1}%",
result.metadata.compression_ratio() * 100.0);
Ok(())
}
```
### Multi-Display Capture
```rust
use webp_screenshot_rust::WebPScreenshot;
fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
let mut screenshot = WebPScreenshot::new()?;
// Capture all displays
let results = screenshot.capture_all_displays();
for (index, result) in results.iter().enumerate() {
if let Ok(capture) = result {
capture.save(&format!("display_{}.webp", index))?;
}
}
Ok(())
}
```

## Configuration Options
### WebP Quality Presets
```rust
// Fast encoding, lower quality
let config = WebPConfig::fast();
// Balanced quality/speed
let config = WebPConfig::balanced();
// High quality, slower encoding
let config = WebPConfig::high_quality();
// Lossless compression
let config = WebPConfig::lossless();
```
### Custom WebP Settings
```rust
let config = WebPConfig {
quality: 90, // 0-100
method: 4, // 0-6 (compression effort)
lossless: false,
segments: 4, // 1-4
sns_strength: 50, // 0-100
filter_strength: 60, // 0-100
alpha_quality: 100, // 0-100
pass: 1, // 1-10
thread_count: 0, // 0 = auto
..Default::default()
};
```
## Features
Optional cargo features:
```toml
[dependencies]
webp-screenshot-rust = {
version = "1.0",
features = ["simd", "parallel", "wayland", "gpu"]
}
```
- `simd`: Enable SIMD optimizations (default)
- `parallel`: Enable parallel processing (default)
- `wayland`: Linux Wayland support
- `gpu`: GPU acceleration (experimental)
- `c-api`: Build C API for FFI
## Building
```bash
# Standard build
cargo build --release
# With all features
cargo build --release --all-features
# Run examples
cargo run --example simple_capture
cargo run --example multi_display
cargo run --example streaming
```
## Memory Management
The library includes an intelligent memory pool that:
- Reduces allocations by reusing buffers
- Automatically manages buffer lifecycle
- Provides statistics for monitoring
```rust
let screenshot = WebPScreenshot::new()?;
let stats = screenshot.memory_stats();
println!("Buffer hit rate: {:.1}%", stats.hit_rate());
```
## Error Handling
Comprehensive error types with recovery information:
```rust
match screenshot.capture_display(0) {
Ok(result) => { /* success */ },
Err(CaptureError::PermissionDenied(_)) => {
// Handle permission error
},
Err(e) if e.is_recoverable() => {
// Retry capture
},
Err(e) => {
// Fatal error
}
}
```
## Performance Tips
1. **Use memory pooling** (enabled by default)
2. **Enable hardware acceleration** when available
3. **Choose appropriate quality settings** for your use case
4. **Use `fast()` preset** for real-time capture
5. **Batch operations** when capturing multiple displays
