获取openGL ES中的视图截图

How do I take a snapshot of my OpenGL ES view and save the result in a UIImage?

A: The OpenGL ES commands issued by your application are sent to the current rendering context (an EAGLContext object) which contains state information of your rendering target. To take a snapshot of your OpenGL ES view, make sure you bind to the correct context and framebuffer, and then call glReadPixels to obtain the pixel data from the framebuffer. You can then create aCGImage with the pixel data, and then a UIImage out of the CGImage.

The UIKit coordinate system (y down) is upside down to the OpenGL ES and Quartz coordinate system (y up). You should take this into account when creating the UIImage from the CGImage. In the following listing, we demonstrate how to create a flipped bitmap context using UIGraphics calls and then render the original image to it.

On iOS 4 and later, UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions allows you to provide with a scale factor. When setting it to your OpenGL ES view's contentScaleFactor property value and it is greater than 1.0, you will get the sharp, high-resolution snapshot for your OpenGL ES drawing. On iOS prior to 4, the code falls back to use UIGraphicsBeginImageContext.

Important By default, the contents of a renderbuffer are invalidated after you present them to the display. Therefore, to get defined results when reading your OpenGL ES content, you must do one of the following:

 

1) Call glReadPixels before calling EAGLContext/-presentRenderbuffer:, or

2) Set the CAEAGLLayer's retained backing property to true to retain the contents of the layer. However, this can have adverse performance implications so you are cautioned to use this setting only when necessary.

The above restrictions do not apply for offscreen, non-displayable framebuffers.

    // Bind the color renderbuffer used to render the OpenGL ES view

    // If your application only creates a single color renderbuffer which is already bound at this point, 

    // this call is redundant, but it is needed if you're dealing with multiple renderbuffers.

    // Note, replace "_colorRenderbuffer" with the actual name of the renderbuffer object defined in your class.

    glBindRenderbufferOES(GL_RENDERBUFFER_OES, _colorRenderbuffer);
