Capture the screen in Go?

Question

Is there is a cross-platform way to capture the screen in Google's Go? Or any way for that matter, but cross platform would be preferred.

Answer 1

Now there is:

https://github.com/vova616/screenshot

go get github.com/vova616/screenshot

Example:

package main

import "github.com/vova616/screenshot"

func main() {
    img, err := screenshot.CaptureScreen() // *image.RGBA
    myImg := image.Image(img) // can cast to image.Image, but not necessary
}

If you need macOS support as well (until the pull request is merged), get:
