💖 GRAB_PARTIAL_IMAGE 💖

okay bestie, so this is a User Commands page for a lil tool called grab_partial_image and it's about to be your new fave for real 💅

✨ NAME ✨

grab_partial_image — grab a partial image using libdc1394 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

grab_partial_image

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So basically it grabs a partial image from the camera. periodt. 📸

🚨 real talk though: your camera must be format 7 (that's scalable image size) compatible, or this whole thing is not it. no format 7 = no vibe. 💀

The image gets stored as a Portable Grayscale map in Part.pgm. that's it. that's the whole thing. it just... drops a Part.pgm and leaves. iconic behavior honestly ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • none — yeah. literally none. zero options. she's a simple girl. no flags, no frills, no nothing. just vibes 🫶

😭 BUGS 😭

  • The filename should be a commandline argument — like, right now it's hardcoded to Part.pgm and honestly? she should take the filename from the commandline instead. it's giving "unfinished business" ngl 🙈
