Re: TK Photo Cam - Memory Leak

Owell, I found the answer to my question. I guess I should'nt have rushed to post the question. To anyone else interested the following fixes the problem. Im still looking for an answer (or some hints) on the second part of my initial question.

sub update_image {

    my $data = encode_base64( get($CAM_URL) );
    
    $buttonImage->configure(-data => $data, -format => 'jpeg');

    $TT->configure(-image => $buttonImage);

    $mw->after( $UPDATE_INTERVAL,[\&update_image]);
    
};

You might try the Tk::Photo attribute '-subsample', to get the image to reduce by literally removing every x pixel from the image. You might also use ImageMagick (which has perl modules available and works on both Windows and Linux/Unix) to resize the image (I'm not sure if there is a way to use ImageMagick on data in memory, I've only ever used it on files).
