I'm trying to get a 2D array of pixels from an area of the screen of my choice so I can use it in my program. In short, like taking a screenshot without exporting the data into an image.
I would also like to find out do this in both a window and on the desktop. Any help would be appreciated. (I've created an example image to clarify my question. see picture below)

you're asking to be recommended libraries? that's called "screen capture" (or screenshot). plenty of answers for that already. – Christoph Rackwitz Mar 08 '22 at 15:25
