Description
captures a single frame of video from a drawable. The
position and size of the destination (video) rectangle is specified by _v_x_,
_v_y_, _v_w, and _v_h. The position and size of the
source (drawable) rectangle is
specified by _d_x_, _d_y_, _d_w, and _d_h.
Drawable data is clipped to the bounds of the drawable, scaled to the
requested video region size (or the closest size supported) and
clipped to the bounds of the video encoding. The contents of any region
not updated with drawable data is undefined.
If the port is grabbed
by another client, this request is ignored, and an XvVideoNotify event
with detail XvBusy is generated for the drawable.
