API documentation for pix_n_flix can be found here.

Introduction

The pix_n_flix module allows Source programmers to process still images and video from a connected camera. A central element of pix_n_flix is the notion of a Filter, a function that is applied to two images: the source Image and the destination Image. We can install a given Filter to be used to transform the Images that the camera captures into images displayed on the output screen by using the function install_filter. The output screen is shown in Source Academy in the tab labeled "Video Display" with a camera tab icon.
