Over the day, I have been working on a C++ program to interface with Pylon to capture images and reduce dependence on the Pylon GUI. The program uses the Pylon header files along with opencv headers. While ultimately a wrapper in python may be developed for the program, the current C++ program at, 

/users/jigyasa/GigEcode/Grab/Grab.cpp when compiled as

g++ -Wl,--enable-new-dtags -Wl,-rpath,/opt/pylon5/lib64 -o Grab Grab.o -L/opt/pylon5/lib64 -Wl,-E -lpylonbase -lpylonutility -lGenApi_gcc_v3_0_Basler_pylon_v5_0 -lGCBase_gcc_v3_0_Basler_pylon_v5_0 `pkg-config opencv --cflags --libs`

returns an executable file named Grab which can be executed as ./Grab

This captures one image from the camera and displays it, additionally it also displays the gray value of the first pixel.

I am working on adding more utility to the program such as manually adjusting exposure, gain and also on the python wrapper (Cython has been installed locally on Ottavia for the purpose)!
