Crate miniscreenshot 

Core screenshot types for the miniscreenshot ecosystem.

This crate provides the fundamental Screenshot type along with PNG, PPM, and PGM encoding, and file-saving utilities. It also exposes the Capture, CaptureAsync, and MultiCapture traits that driver crates implement.

Quick start

use miniscreenshot::{Screenshot, ImageFormat};

// Build from raw RGBA8 data
let data = vec![255u8, 0, 0, 255, 0, 255, 0, 255]; // 2×1 red|green pixels
let shot = Screenshot::from_rgba(2, 1, data);

// Encode as PPM bytes
let ppm = shot.encode_ppm();
assert!(ppm.starts_with(b"P6\n"));

// Save to disk — format inferred from extension
// shot.save("output.png").unwrap();

Structs

CaptureError

A canonical error type shared by all Capture implementations.

Screenshot

A captured screenshot backed by raw RGBA8 pixel data.

Enums

CaptureErrorKind

High-level categories of capture failure.

EncodeError

An error that occurred while encoding a screenshot.

ImageFormat

Supported image formats for encoding and saving screenshots.

SaveError

An error that occurred while saving a screenshot to disk.

Traits

Capture

A self-contained screenshot source (e.g. a system capture session).

CaptureAsync

An async-capable source that can capture a screenshot.

MultiCapture
