• x - (int) X coordinate of the top left corner of the pixel to start from.
• y - (int) Y coordinate of the top left corner of the pixel to start from.
• w - (int) Width of the sub image in pixels.
• h - (int) Height of the sub image in pixels.

Example

PImage justin_face;
int x_size, y_size;

void init()
{
  justin_face = loadImage("./Assets/justin1.png");

  x_size = imageWidth(justin_face);
  y_size = imageHeight(justin_face);
}

PImage frame_buffer;

void update()
{
  freeImage(&frame_buffer);
  frame_buffer = readFrameBuffer(0, 0, canvasWidth, canvasHeight);

  background(color(255, 255, 255, 255));
  image(frame_buffer, mouseX, mouseY, canvasWidth / 2, canvasHeight / 2, 255);
  image(justin_face, canvasWidth/2, canvasHeight/2, x_size, y_size, 255);
