+> **🚀 为 Python 自动化而生的窗口捕获库**  
+> 高帧率捕获 · 零资源待机 · 无视遮挡 · API 极简
+
+---
+
+## 为什么选择 wgc_python？
+
+### 🎯 专为自动化场景设计
+
+你是否在为以下问题困扰？
+
+- **mss/BitBlt**：无法捕获被遮挡或后台窗口
+- **PrintWindow**：性能瓶颈，固定 26ms+ 延迟
+- **其他 WGC 封装**：持续运行占用资源，频繁启停开销巨大（50ms+）
+
+**wgc_python 通过 Pause/Resume 机制解决了这个矛盾：**
+
+```python
+# 传统方式：要么持续空转浪费资源，要么频繁启停承受延迟
+start_capture()  # 50ms 开销
+get_frame()      # 获取截图
+stop_capture()   # 销毁会话（50ms）
+# 下次截图又要重新开始...
+
+# wgc_python 方式：一次启动，按需截图，零开销待机
+with WindowCapture("窗口", "类名") as cap:
+    while running:
+        frame = cap.capture_one()  # auto Resume → 等待帧 → 拷贝 → Pause
+        # 处理图像...
+```
+
+### 📊 性能对比
+
+| 方案 | FPS | 后台捕获 | CPU 占用 | 频繁切换开销 | 暂停后 GPU 占用 |
+|------|-----|---------|---------|-------------|----------------|
+| python-mss / BitBlt | ~60 | ❌ | 高 | 低 | N/A (无暂停概念) |
+| PrintWindow | ~38 | ✅ | 中 | 低 | N/A (每次调用即捕获) |
+| 其他 WGC 封装 | 高 | ✅ | 高（持续空转） | 高 (启停会话开销大) | 高 (无法真正暂停) |
+| **wgc_python** | **高** | ✅ | **极低（Pause时归零）** | **极低（原子标志位）** | **归零（无 D3D 操作）** |
+
+> 表中为定性对比，具体数值因硬件、窗口内容与场景而异，建议以自己的实测为准。
+
+### ✨ 核心优势
+
+#### 1. 高帧率
+- WGC 直接捕获 GPU 合成输出，不逐帧截屏，帧率上限远高于 PrintWindow 等 GDI 方案
+- **双缓冲 Staging 纹理**：GPU 异步拷贝，读写互不阻塞
+- **零拷贝友好**：`np.ndarray(strides=...)` 直接从 GPU 映射内存构造视图
+
+#### 2. 智能资源管理
+- **Pause/Resume 软暂停**：不销毁不重建 WGC session，仅原子标志位跳过帧处理
+- **capture_one() 自动管理**：Resume → 等待帧 → 拷贝 → Pause，间隙 GPU 驱动零开销
+- **会话复用**：避免频繁创建/销毁 D3D 设备的开销
+
+#### 3. 极简 API
+- **capture_one()**：一行代码完成按需捕获，返回 numpy 数组
+- **get_frame()**：零拷贝裸指针路径（高级使用）
+- **线程安全**：C++ 层处理所有多线程复杂性
+
+#### 4. 多开并发
+- 同一进程内可同时创建多个捕获会话，互不干扰
+- 每个会话独立 D3D11 设备 + 独立纹理 + 独立 WinRT session，完全隔离
+- 支持同窗口多路并发捕获
+
+#### 5. 客户区精准裁剪（默认不截取标题栏/边框）
+- **默认 `client_area_only=True`**：只捕获窗口客户区内容，自动裁剪标题栏和边框，直接输出有效像素
+- **设置 `client_area_only=False`**：捕获整个窗口（含标题栏和边框），满足 UI 记录场景
+- DPI 感知：自动修正高 DPI 缩放偏移，裁剪精度像素级
+- GPU 级裁剪：`CopySubresourceRegion` 在 GPU 上完成裁剪，不浪费带宽和 CPU
+
+#### 6. 光标捕获开关
+- **默认 `capture_cursor=True`**：画面包含鼠标光标，与常规录屏行为一致
+- **设置 `capture_cursor=False`**：画面不含鼠标指针，适合自动化 / 数据采集场景（也可用 `set_cursor_capture_enabled()` 运行时切换）
+- 需 Windows 10 2004 (19041) 及以上系统，旧系统自动忽略该选项
+
+#### 7. 无视遮挡
+- 支持捕获被遮挡、最小化、后台窗口
+- 完美适配游戏、桌面应用等各种场景

+## 快速开始
+
+### 安装
+
+已发布至 PyPI，直接 pip 安装即可：
+
+```bash
+pip install wgc_python
+```
+
+### 基础用法
+
+```python
+from wgc_python import WindowCapture, enumerate_windows
+
+# 枚举所有窗口
+for title, class_name in enumerate_windows():
+    print(f"{title} ({class_name})")
+
+# 按需捕获（推荐 —— 零开销待机）
+with WindowCapture("窗口标题", "窗口类名") as cap:
+    frame = cap.capture_one()     # BGRA numpy 数组，shape (h, w, 4)
+    if frame is not None:
+        print(f"捕获成功: {frame.shape}")
+
+# 客户区裁剪演示
+# 默认 client_area_only=True：只截取客户区，不含标题栏/边框
+cap_client = WindowCapture("记事本", "Notepad")                      # 只截内容
+cap_full  = WindowCapture("记事本", "Notepad", client_area_only=False)  # 含标题栏
+frame_client = cap_client.capture_one()  # 只有编辑区
+frame_full  = cap_full.capture_one()    # 含标题栏 + 菜单 + 编辑区
+cap_client.close()
+cap_full.close()
+
+# 不捕获鼠标光标（默认 capture_cursor=True，保持旧版行为）
+cap = WindowCapture("记事本", "Notepad", capture_cursor=False)
+frame = cap.capture_one()               # 画面不含鼠标指针
+cap.set_cursor_capture_enabled(True)    # 也支持运行时切换
+cap.close()
+```
+
+### 自动化最佳实践
+
+```python
+from wgc_python import WindowCapture
+
+cap = WindowCapture("游戏窗口", "UnityWndClass")
+
+while True:
+    frame = cap.capture_one(timeout=1.0)
+    if frame is not None:
+        # frame 是 BGRA numpy 数组，直接用于 OpenCV/模板匹配
+        pass
+    time.sleep(1)
+
+cap.close()
+```
+
+### 显示器捕获（推荐全屏游戏场景使用）
+
+捕获目标窗口**所在的显示器**而非窗口本身：捕获会话绑定显示器，**目标窗口在全屏/窗口之间切换不会使捕获会话失效**（窗口捕获模式下此场景会冻结于最后一帧）。
+
+```python
+from wgc_python import WindowCaptureMonitor
+
+# 定位目标窗口所在的显示器并捕获其全部内容（无客户区裁剪）
+cap = WindowCaptureMonitor("游戏窗口", "UnityWndClass")
+frame = cap.capture_one()   # 整屏 BGRA 帧
+cap.close()
+```
+
+适用场景：全屏游戏的长期自动化采集、目标窗口显示模式频繁变化的场景。需要裁剪客户区或排除其他窗口内容时，仍请使用 `WindowCapture`。
+
+### 零拷贝高级用法
+
+```python
+from wgc_python import WindowCapture
+import numpy as np
+import ctypes
+
+with WindowCapture("窗口", "类名") as cap:
+    cap.resume()
+    r = cap.get_frame()  # (ptr, w, h, row_pitch) — GPU 映射裸指针
+    if r:
+        ptr, w, h, rp = r
+        arr = np.ndarray((h, w, 4), dtype=np.uint8,
+                         buffer=(ctypes.c_ubyte * (h * rp)).from_address(ptr),
+                         strides=(rp, 4, 1))
+        # arr 是 GPU 内存的零拷贝视图
+        cap.release_frame()
+    cap.pause()
+```
+
+### 实时显示
+
+```python
+from wgc_python import WindowCapture
+import cv2
+
+with WindowCapture("窗口标题", "窗口类名") as cap:
+    while True:
+        frame = cap.capture_one()
+        if frame is not None:
+            cv2.imshow("Capture", cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGRA2BGR))
+        if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
+            break
+    cv2.destroyAllWindows()
+```
+

+
+## API 参考
+
+```python
+from wgc_python import (
+    WindowCapture,             # 窗口捕获类（上下文管理器支持）
+    enumerate_windows,         # 枚举所有可见窗口
+    get_last_error,            # 获取最后错误信息（线程安全）

+# WindowCapture 类方法:
+#   cap = WindowCapture(title, class_name, client_area_only=True, capture_cursor=True)
+#
+#   cap.capture_one(timeout=0.5)  -> np.ndarray | None  ★ 推荐
+#      自动 Resume → 等待帧 → 拷贝为 numpy → Pause
+#      捕获间隙 WGC 完全休眠，GPU 驱动零开销
+#
+#   cap.get_frame()              -> (ptr, w, h, row_pitch) | None
+#   cap.release_frame()           # 释放 GPU 映射
+#   cap.pause()                   # 暂停捕获（零资源待机）
+#   cap.resume()                  # 恢复捕获
+#   cap.set_cursor_capture_enabled(enabled)  # 运行时切换光标捕获
+#   cap.stop()                    # 停止帧到达
+#   cap.close()                   # 销毁会话
+#   cap.is_capturing()  -> bool
+#   cap.is_paused()     -> bool
+#   cap.get_frame_count()  -> int
+#   cap.handle             -> int (DLL handle)

+### 🎯 Designed for Automation Scenarios
+
+Are you struggling with these problems?
+
+- **mss/BitBlt**: Cannot capture occluded or background windows
+- **PrintWindow**: Performance bottleneck, fixed 26ms+ latency
+- **Other WGC wrappers**: Continuous resource consumption, huge overhead for frequent start/stop (50ms+)
+
+**wgc_python solves this dilemma with its Pause/Resume mechanism:**
+
+```python
+# Traditional approach: Either waste resources or suffer latency
+start_capture()  # 50ms overhead
+get_frame()      # Get screenshot
+stop_capture()   # Destroy session (50ms)
+
+# wgc_python approach: One-time init, on-demand capture, zero-overhead standby
+with WindowCapture("Window", "Class") as cap:
+    while running:
+        frame = cap.capture_one()  # auto Resume → wait → copy → Pause
+        # Process image...
+```
+
+### 📊 Performance Comparison
+
+| Solution | FPS | Background Capture | CPU Usage | Toggle Overhead | GPU When Paused |
+|----------|-----|-------------------|-----------|----------------|-----------------|
+| python-mss / BitBlt | ~60 | ❌ | High | Low | N/A (no pause) |
+| PrintWindow | ~38 | ✅ | Medium | Low | N/A (per-call) |
+| Other WGC wrappers | High | ✅ | High (continuous) | High (session start/stop) | High (can't truly pause) |
+| **wgc_python** | **High** | ✅ | **Near Zero (when paused)** | **Very Low (atomic flag)** | **Zero (no D3D ops)** |
+
+> Qualitative comparison only; actual numbers vary by hardware, window content, and workload — benchmark on your own setup.
+
+### ✨ Core Advantages
+
+#### 1. High Frame Rate
+- WGC captures GPU composition output directly instead of per-frame GDI screenshots — frame rate ceiling far above PrintWindow-style approaches
+- **Double-buffered Staging Texture**: GPU async copy, read/write non-blocking
+- **Zero-copy path**: `np.ndarray(strides=...)` directly from GPU-mapped memory
+
+#### 2. Smart Resource Management
+- **Pause/Resume soft-pause**: Atomic flag only, no WGC session teardown
+- **capture_one() auto management**: Resume → wait → copy → Pause, zero GPU driver overhead between captures
+- **Session Reuse**: No frequent D3D device creation/destruction
+
+#### 3. Minimalist API
+- **capture_one()**: One-line on-demand capture, returns numpy array
+- **get_frame()**: Zero-copy raw pointer path (advanced)
+- **Thread safe**: C++ handles all multi-threading complexity
+
+#### 4. Multi-Instance Capture
+- Create multiple capture sessions simultaneously within one process
+- Each session has its own D3D11 device, staging textures, and WinRT session — fully isolated
+- Supports concurrent capture of the same window
+
+#### 5. Client Area Precision (No Title Bar by Default)
+- **Default `client_area_only=True`**: captures only window client area, automatically crops title bar and borders
+- **Set `client_area_only=False`**: captures entire window including title bar and borders, for UI recording
+- DPI-aware: automatic high-DPI scaling correction for pixel-perfect cropping
+- GPU-level cropping via `CopySubresourceRegion`, no wasted bandwidth or CPU
+
+#### 6. Cursor Capture Toggle
+- **Default `capture_cursor=True`**: frame includes the mouse cursor, same as typical screen recording
+- **Set `capture_cursor=False`**: frame excludes the mouse pointer, ideal for automation / data collection (also toggleable at runtime via `set_cursor_capture_enabled()`)
+- Requires Windows 10 2004 (19041) or later; silently ignored on older systems
+
+#### 7. Capture Behind Windows
+- Supports capturing occluded, minimized, and background windows
+- Perfect for games, desktop apps, and various scenarios

+## Quick Start
+
+### Installation
+
+Published on PyPI — install directly with pip:
+
+```bash
+pip install wgc_python
+```
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```python
+from wgc_python import WindowCapture, enumerate_windows
+
+# Enumerate all windows
+for title, class_name in enumerate_windows():
+    print(f"{title} ({class_name})")
+
+# On-demand capture (recommended — zero-resource standby)
+with WindowCapture("Window Title", "WindowClass") as cap:
+    frame = cap.capture_one()     # BGRA numpy array, shape (h, w, 4)
+    if frame is not None:
+        print(f"Captured: {frame.shape}")
+
+# Client area demo
+# Default client_area_only=True: content only, no title bar/borders
+cap_client = WindowCapture("Notepad", "Notepad")                       # content only
+cap_full  = WindowCapture("Notepad", "Notepad", client_area_only=False) # with title bar
+frame_client = cap_client.capture_one()  # edit area only
+frame_full  = cap_full.capture_one()    # title bar + menu + edit area
+cap_client.close()
+cap_full.close()
+
+# Disable mouse cursor capture (default capture_cursor=True, same as previous versions)
+cap = WindowCapture("Notepad", "Notepad", capture_cursor=False)
+frame = cap.capture_one()               # frame does not contain the mouse pointer
+cap.set_cursor_capture_enabled(True)    # runtime toggle is also supported
+cap.close()
+```
+
+### Best Practice for Automation
+
+```python
+from wgc_python import WindowCapture
+
+cap = WindowCapture("Game Window", "UnityWndClass")
+
+while True:
+    frame = cap.capture_one(timeout=1.0)
+    if frame is not None:
+        # frame is BGRA numpy array, ready for OpenCV/template matching
+        pass
+    time.sleep(1)
+
+cap.close()
+```
+
+### Zero-Copy Advanced Usage
+
+```python
+from wgc_python import WindowCapture
+import numpy as np
+import ctypes
+
+with WindowCapture("Window", "Class") as cap:
+    cap.resume()
+    r = cap.get_frame()  # (ptr, w, h, row_pitch) — GPU mapped pointer
+    if r:
+        ptr, w, h, rp = r
+        arr = np.ndarray((h, w, 4), dtype=np.uint8,
+                         buffer=(ctypes.c_ubyte * (h * rp)).from_address(ptr),
+                         strides=(rp, 4, 1))
+        # arr is a zero-copy view into GPU-mapped memory
+        cap.release_frame()
+    cap.pause()
+```
+
+### Real-time Display
+
+```python
+from wgc_python import WindowCapture
+import cv2
+
+with WindowCapture("Window Title", "WindowClass") as cap:
+    while True:
+        frame = cap.capture_one()
+        if frame is not None:
+            cv2.imshow("Capture", cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGRA2BGR))
+        if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
+            break
+    cv2.destroyAllWindows()
+```

+### How Pause/Resume Works
+
+```
+  User calls cap.pause()
+         │
+    m_isPaused = true   ◄──── atomic flag, microsecond-level
+    m_readableStagingIndex = -1
+         │
+    ┌────▼────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+    │           FrameArrived Callback (WGC still fires)│

+    │  lock(mutex);                                    │
+    │  if (m_isPaused) return;     // ← pure CPU, skip│
+    │  // ↓ below runs only after resume ↓             │
+    │  CopyResource(staging, frame);                   │
+    │  m_readableStagingIndex = idx;                   │
+    │  unlock(mutex);                                  │
+    └────▲────────────────┬───────────────────────────┘
+         │                │
+  User calls cap.resume()  MapFrame checks readableStagingIndex
+  m_isPaused = false       <0 → no frame ready → returns false
+
+  No WGC session destroy / no D3D device recreate / no callback re-register
+  → zero-latency resume, no spikes

+## Build DLL
+
+See [BUILD.md](BUILD.md)
+
+---
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Windows 10 1903+ (Build 18362); cursor capture toggle requires 2004+ (Build 19041)
+- Python 3.8+
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+| Issue | Solution |
+|-------|----------|
+| DLL not found | Ensure `wgc_python.dll` is in the correct location |
+| Capture failed | Check if window is visible, Windows version >= 1903 |
+| Non-ASCII path save failed | Use `cv2.imencode` + `open().write()` instead of `cv2.imwrite` |
+| Missing dependencies | `pip install numpy opencv-python` |
+
