Painting images using PixelWriter

[Tobias Bley (UltraMixer)]

HI Jasper,

do you think it would be possible to change this to one shared buffer? IMO thats the big advantage of NIO buffers. So we could get a much better performance when showing webcam images or video frames. So I could query the webcam by JNI and fill in a Java IO buffer which is rendered by JavaFX. But if there is a need to copy the complete image every 40ms (framerate 25fps) the performance could be poor.

Best regards,
Tobi

So at the point when you set pixels a copy will be made so it can be safe to access that new copy from our internal render thread. So you can have your own ByteBuffer access from native and every time you call setPixels a copy will be taken for the JavaFX platform to use. So you will need to make sure the content is static during that setPixels (copy) operation.
