Thanks! Glad it helped. I’m hoping to find time to do an updated tutorial soon that will highlight some of the recent changes to the SDK.

Hi,

I’d like to know how to overlay the camera view with an openGL view whitch is defined in an EAGLView.m and .h with this method.

The code is available on GitHub. There is a link in the post. :-)

Apologies, I am not an experienced coder, is it possible to get example files so I can see the program working?

Any help would be great

Thanks!

Oh ya almost forgot you have to set the following propert y to no and not yes:

picker.wantsFullScreenLayout = NO;

Jason to change the size all you have to do is go into the ViewController.h and change these values:

#define CAMERA_TRANSFORM_X 1
#define CAMERA_TRANSFORM_Y 1.12412

Funny I scaled them to half and I got a quater sized camera view!

Antoine,

Absolutely you can change the size.

Look for this line (17) in OverlayViewController.m:

OverlayView *overlay = [[OverlayView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGTH)];

You can change SCREEN_WIDTH and SCREEN_HEIGHT to be whatever you want.

Let me know how that works for you. I’m interested if and how this might affect the picker.cameraViewTransform.

Good luck!

Hi Antoine,

I don’t think you can create the overlay view in the nib. If someone knows better please let us know.
