Could anyone help me, I'm a python noob and need some help. im trying
to find some code that will, given a screen co-ordinate, will give me
the colour of that pixel in RGB. i have found a lot about getting the
pixel colour from a picture file with a given co-ordinate, but is it
possible to do it from the whole screen output regardless what
application the selected pixel is in?
any help would be help.
thanks, Chris

Such capability differs with OS and GUI libraries. If one is lucky,
the GUI library will accept any screen coordinate -- but it is just as
likely that the OS could limit a program to only coordinates within its
own window.
Maybe the easiest way is to create a screenshot of the whole screen
(that should be doable from within a program, although this differs for every OS and GUI
lib as well) and then get the pixel value from that.

Which operating system? If you are on Windows, and you have pywin32
loaded. you can use the Windows APIs GetDC and GetPixel.

Then you will have to use a GUI library of some kind: wx, or Qt, or
tkinter. The answer depends on which GUI library you decide to use.

I'm using PHP4.2.2 with gd on a Linux platform and am having difficulty
in solving a little problem despite going through the definitions of the
various image functions.
If you load a true-colour image from a file using...
$image=imagecreatefrompng("file.png");
....how do you then get the red, green and blue values of a pixel at $x,
$y within that image? I'm sure it's fairly simple but I can't find this

Hello,
I am pretty new to programming and would like someone to help me get
started on the program that I need to make.
I hope it is not hard to do, but what I would like is a simple app that
has a label which returns the color of a pixel that is in position x,y on
the screen (i.e. the desktop @ 1024 x 768 pixels), where x and y are of
course variable.

Hi, ive got an imagine in a PictureBox, and would like to get the colour
of the pixel when the mouse is over the control. From what ive (briefly)
seen, there is no way to do this directly in C# and requires you to use
GetPixel from the Win API?
Is this correct? Any other better ways of doing this?
Thanks,

I want to get the color of the specified pixel in the screen.
Firstly I get the position of the cursor:
//Get the position of cursor.
Point position = Cursor.Position;
Next I want to get the color using the position of the cursor.
Anybody here can show me some demo codes?
Thanks.

Hi,
I asked Bjarne Stroustrup about the idea of adding colour standard for
C++, and he said that it is very difficult for compiler vendors to
change their IDE. But do you think it is possible ? Note that the
proposed colour standard is not just merely to ease the eye only as
what presently is in C++ compilers, but to aid in syntax disambiguation
and other advantages.
Here are a few advantages that I can think of:

I use PIL to write some text to a picture.The text must be seen wery
clearly.
I write the text to different pictures but to the same position. As
pictures maybe different, colour, in the position where I write the
text, is also different.
Is there a way how to set the font colour so that it will be seen very
clearly in the picture?
For example, if the picture is bright ( for example yellow), the font
colour should be dark( e.g. black)...

Hi all,
I am writing an application to detect the dead pixel of LCD panel by using
visual C++ (MFC). My flow is follow:
1. Display a dialog with a start button. When the user press the start
button. The whole screen become black colour.
2. When the user press any key by keyboard. The whole screen changes to red
then green, blue and white.
3. The screen back to "normal display".

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
