Hi,
  it's not clear which component you are talking about. Usually data
is generated by some userspace tool, passed to QXL driver (OS one)
which potentially creates a bitmap and passes to Qemu/SPICE QXL. Yes,
you can use QXL also to capture but usually you just ask the desktop
manager of your OS to do the capture in a system-independent way, you
don't need to use QXL specific requests.
