Hello,
I wonder, if it's possible to catch a part (or even several parts) of the regular screen contend and display it inside the Gem Window.

I have two screens. One is showing Ableton live, the other the gem window. I'd like to "copy" the Level-meters from ableton into the gem window.

Or do you think, it would be easier to stream the audio-cahnnels (at least back into pd to create meters analyzing the levels with pd? I am afraid this would introduce major latency ad use more cpu, than just capturing some pixels?

kind regards

I got the hint, that there might be some way with Gridflow. By now I am going through the gridflow tutorials and docs.

could it have something to do with x11 as input? I am not sure if I understand this, does this exist on windows? http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2011-08/090514.html

edit:
ok, found a way - or maybe more a work-around using the VH Screen Capture Driver (http://www.splitmedialabs.com/media-toolkits/vh-video-sdk/vh-screen-capture)
