Gqcam Description
Gqcam is a Linux clone of the QuickPict software that comes with the QuickCam. Gqcam is a Linux clone of the QuickPict software that comes with the QuickCam. Originally it was written using GTK+ for the frontend, Alex Belits' qcread for the backend, and a bunch of C to tie it all together.It still uses GTK+ for the frontend, but as of version 0.2 it uses the Video4Linux interface as a backend. To compile it you will need GTK+, a Quickcam (one of the old greyscale parallel port ones), and a computer running Linux with Video4Linux support for the Quickcam compiled in or as a module.It is currently fairly early in development, and now works with both the color and greyscale QuickCam. No, that doesn't include the QuickCam VC or any other ones (that I know of). Unfortunatly, Logitech/Connectix don't want to let us know how their new cameras work..Here are some key features of "Gqcam":· Brightness Control · White Balance Control · Contrast Control · 3 Size Settings · 2 Depth Settings · Freeze Picture · Snap Picture (saves in png, ppm and jpeg format) · Command-line interface (good for webcam use) · Snapping on a timer · Support for the greyscale and color Quickcam, as well as CPiA based cameras and most any other driver that supports the read() commandThe cameras I have gotten gqcam to work with or have had other people tell me it works with are:· Greyscale Quickcam· Color Quickcam· Anything listed below this line I have not tested and know very little about· Ezonics EZcam· Creative Web-Cam II· Philips USB PCVC675K· Webcam III· TerraCAM USB· Plustek OptiCam 300U
