Canvas to Bitmap

12 Oct 2015, 18:03

Hi guys, another question, is there any way to convert a canvas to an image? in standrd wpf I'd do something like this:

 Rect bounds = VisualTreeHelper.GetDescendantBounds(canvas);
            double dpi = 96d;


            RenderTargetBitmap rtb = new RenderTargetBitmap((int)bounds.Width, (int)bounds.Height, dpi, dpi, System.Windows.Media.PixelFormats.Default);


            DrawingVisual dv = new DrawingVisual();
            using (DrawingContext dc = dv.RenderOpen())
            {
                VisualBrush vb = new VisualBrush(cnvs);
                dc.DrawRectangle(vb, null, new Rect(new Point(), bounds.Size));
            }

            rtb.Render(dv);

(which comes from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2141 ... -sharp-wpf)

In Unity, you can user render to texture to generate a texture given a XAML.

Is that what you want?

I'm not sure, what I need is to get an image from a canvas where a user was printing with his finger (kind of signature)

can I do it through Unity render passing the canvas as param?

thanks!

Render to texture is useful to capture a XAML into a texture. That texture can be later used in the same scene or even in another XAML.

But if you just need an image (not a texture) then I think the best way would be capturing the main buffer rendered by Unity. Never did it, but I am sure there should be an easy way to achieve.

Ok, then how could I pass just the canvas (not the whole screen or usercontrol) to unity to do it?

thanks!

Yes, but the canvas cannot be shared between several Unity components. So, you need to create a NoesisGUIPanel component and set its content to a FrameworkElement (the canvas itself, not active in a different NoesisGUIPanel ). Attach the NoesisGUIPanel to a GameObject having a RenderTexture and the content of the canvas will be rendered into that texture.
