it doesn't matter if you are doing GDI or OpenGL, this will run full out on any machine you are "allowed" to have full access to the CPU. You don't force a redraw on idle you force a redraw on vertical retrace or other unless you do want all the CPU.

HI ,
i want to do a project on graphics as part of my engineering course .
i have decided to do a project other than game ..i have to use all the basic algorithms and some of the in built functions that are available in turbo C ... please suggest me different topics on which i can do a project .. the code shoudnt exceed 900 lines ...
i have plans to do animation(changing the face with user interface) , simulating towers of hanoii problem ,etc ..suggest me better ideas/topics to do the same
thanks

Hello..
I have a problem about shading. Actually, I want to apply a phong shading to the 3d object.Here is the code:
#include "Global.h"<br />
#include "lightComponent.h"<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

But, it doesn't work. Can somebody fix my code?

It looks like you're just using glutBitmapCharacter to display text? I'm not sure you can get shading to work on a bitmap. What were you expecting to see and what did you actually see? This would help diagnose your problem because I don't think anyone is going to take the time to compile your program and try to reproduce it.
Doing my part to piss off the religious right.

Tim is correct, you cannot "illuminate" or shade a bitmap text. You can convert the bitmap to a texture, use a texture font drawing routine and it will be illuminated, or you can use stroke fonts. Take a look at the font demo here: http://www.opengl.org/resources/code/samples/glut_examples/examples/examples.html[^]
or here: http://nehe.gamedev.net/lesson.asp?index=03[^]

I made a control myself with an image as background
(the image is prerendered in the constructor)
when it needs to be repainted (Onpaint event)
it is repainted very slow.
so i want not to repaint the total bitmap,
but only the part that has been invalidated
g.DrawImageUnscaledAndClipped(bmp_background, e.ClipRectangle);
does not work because the origin of the bitmap is drawn at
ClipRectangle.Location
has anyone a solution for it?

Hi,
Graphics.DrawImage() has some 30 overloads, some of them "Draw the specified portion of the
specified Image at the specified location and with the specified size" and should solve
your problem.

Hello.
I have finished graphical component. It uses GDI+. I understand that I have to dispose unmanaged resources (like Pen, Brush, etc).
But one question arised. How I should dispose global resources?
I`ve decided to use global Pen because this component repaints every 100 ms (but maybe I made wrong decision).
Example of my code:
public partial class MyControl: UserControl
{
Pen myPen;
// constructor
public MyControl
{
...
myPen = new Pen(Color.Blue);
...
}
}
|

|
|

I don't know C#, but from the looks of your code sample, I don't see anything global, nor
do I see any unmanaged objects.
myPen's existence lasts as long as a MyControl object exists, right?
Am I missing something?

Hi,
you should call Dispose on those objects that offer it, as soon as you don't need them
anymore. Creating and disposing GDI objects may be expensive, so it is indeed wise
to avoid these operations in every OnPaint(). So you create them once "globally",
and keep them alive as long as the app lives; that is perfect. On exit, the system
will take care of them (as it always did with resources, even long before .NET came
into this world).
BTW: you don't have the right to dispose of stuff you did not create or ordered created;
this applies to the Pens class, the Brushes class, etc.
So you can replace myPen = new Pen(Color.Blue); by myPen=Pens.Blue;
and not worry about disposing of it at all.

Thanks you very much !
I'm new in C# Maybe that explains a lot.
I was just worried about way of disposing things in GDI+.
1 more question (please :
If I create the class (component) with these "global" Pens (or whatever) and after some time I don't
need this class (for example - app will change), should I implement Dispose method?
And sorry for my english 
|

Hi,
your class XXX should implement Dispose() when it uses unmanged memory or other system
resources, because you either do native calls to that effect, or use objects that offer
a Dispose() themselves.
the above holds true in general; you could forget about providing Dispose() if the
class is used in one app only, where you need all objects of class XXX up to the end
of the app execution (so you would call Dispose only on exit, which is not that useful
since the system would clean up then anyway).

Hi Guys
Is it possible to create a usercontrol with a semi-transparent background (without affecting and not relying on the parent form’s properties).
I can make the backcolor of the control transparent but I have to set the transparency key in the parent form for it to work but the form also renders out a transparent background  !!!.
Here is the code i'm using inside the Usercontrol 
<br />
private void DrawImageBox()<br />
{<br />
SetStyle(ControlStyles.SupportsTransparentBackGround, true);<br />
base.BackColor = Color.Transparent;<br />
<br />
if (Picture != null)<br />
{<br />
Graphics gfx = base.CreateGraphics();<br />
<br />
<br />
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(Picture);<br />
bmp.MakeTransparent( _transparentKey );<br />
<br />
Rectangle rec = Rectangle( 0, 0, base.Width, base.Height );<br />
<br />
gfx.DrawImage( bmp, rec, 0, 0, bmp.Width, bmp.Height, GraphicsUnit.Pixel);<br />
<br />
gfx.Dispose();<br />
}<br />
<br />
}<br />
If anyone has any ideas for how to do this I would be really grateful!
Thanks in advance!

val *= ratio;
val = Math.Min(Math.Max(val, 0), 255);
row[x] = (byte)val;
}
}
}
}
also, add the System.Drawing.Imaging import to your code.
Hope this helps!

I've chatted to a few people who refuse to use GDI+ due to it's lack of "Flashy Effects" - Lighting, Tinting, Etc, Etc, Etc
So, I thought I'd ask if anyone knows how to do something... "Flashy" in GDI+...
A Fire Effect maybe? (Think Fantastic Flame Screensaver)

There are some articles on GDI+ with some flashy stuff in them. Your friends are stupid. Flashy effects is not what GDI+ is for.

i need some tips on template matching using C# . For the template matching, what concepts that need to be used and how?????
pixel by pixal or some other thecnique?? i want to detect the face in an image...
what i want to do is .

I am using TextRender.DrawText to add text to a Bitmap but the quality is not very good. I looked for a formatting hint in TextFormatFlags but I could not find one. I know that I could use Graphics.DrawString but the performance is not as good. What do I need to do so TextRender.DrawText creates high quality text?
Thanks
Dan R.

Wow! that is rubbish I'd stick to .DrawString, or if you're after performance, use the DrawText win32 import

Hellow
would you please help me to erase a line in C#.Here I used Drawline(x1,y1,x2,y2) method to draw a line in a panel.I need to create a tool just like in MS paint to erase it.Is there any way to do like that.I tried to erase with by drawing a rectangle with back ground color same to the panel...but its not working fine.
Here is my e-mail ID --subinraju007@gmail.com

There are many ways to accomplish this, but it seems to me that the easiest way is for you to redraw your image without the line being drawn. A common approach is to implement your drawing as a set of objects that are responsible for drawing themselves, then you just call redraw using these objects, so if you don't want the line to be redrawn you just omit the call to this object.

The code of WMSplitter studied:
the Input pin read data by StreamOnAsyncReader::Read,which is derived from IStream,
then sample is sent to the Output pines by WMFDemuxFilter::OnStreamSample,which is derived from IWMReaderCallbackAdvanced and IWMReaderCallback.
I don't know what things being done during the data from IStream::Read to IWMReaderCallbackAdvanced::OnStreamSample.
Can I debug it step by step?

Hello all,
I seem to have a problem creating bitmaps with alpha with the following code:
BITMAPINFO tBMI;
ZeroMemory (&tBMI, sizeof tBMI);
tBMI.bmiHeader.biSize = sizeof tBMI.bmiHeader;
tBMI.bmiHeader.biWidth = nSizeX;
tBMI.bmiHeader.biHeight = -nSizeY;
tBMI.bmiHeader.biPlanes = 1;
tBMI.bmiHeader.biBitCount = 32;
tBMI.bmiHeader.biCompression = BI_RGB;
HBITMAP hBmp = CreateDIBitmap(hdc, &tBMI.bmiHeader, CBM_INIT, pData, &tBMI, DIB_RGB_COLORS);
All works fine under normal circumstances, but if it happens that the data are completely transparent (all pixels have alpha set to 0), the behavior suddenly changes and instead of a completely transparent bitmap, the function chooses to ignore the alpha channel and creates a bitmap filled with black color (presumably because the RGB channels were set to 0 in the original data).
Is this some Microsoft hack to maintain compatibility or what? Is there a way to prevent it? Thanks for any hints.
