Fwd: Writing optimized screeshot utility.

Ok, figured it out myself. I get printouts now:

    [NSApplication sharedApplication];
    CGRegisterScreenRefreshCallback (MyScreenRefreshCallback, NULL);
    [NSApp run];

----

Thank you for the information. However when i try the following:
void MyScreenRefreshCallback ( CGRectCount count,  const CGRect * rectArray,
void * userParameter) {
    int i;
    fprintf(stderr, "%i rects\n", count);
    for (i=0; i < count; i++) {
        fprintf(stdout, "%i %i %i %i\n", rectArray[i].origin.x,
rectArray[i].origin.y, rectArray[i].size.width, rectArray[i].size.height);
    }
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    CGRegisterScreenRefreshCallback (MyScreenRefreshCallback, NULL);
    CFAbsoluteTime now = CFAbsoluteTimeGetCurrent ();
        while  ( CFAbsoluteTimeGetCurrent ()-now < 15 )  {
            sleep(1);
        }
    CGUnregisterScreenRefreshCallback (MyScreenRefreshCallback, NULL);
    return 0;
}

I get no printout whatsoever although screen does change. Is there some
initialization that's needed before this works?

Thanks,

Teemu Keinonen
