pibooth-stillimage-camera 0.1.4

Dummy camera for pibooth, producing still images for testing

pibooth-stillimage-camera

pibooth-stillimage-camera is a plugin for the pibooth application.

It provides a fake camera 'capturing' still images with a dummy text 'Still image for tests' writen in a customizable color, and background color.

It has no use in a real booth scenario, but this way anyone can test the app, even whithout having an actual camera attached!

This project was mostly a first try at cracking at pibooth using a plugin, so as to see how easy it is to interact with it, and try to provide feedback on the general structure of the project. It also actually enables testing of all the other parts without much work!
