Below is the code snippet i use to create the gray scale image (8bpp) from scratch using CreateDIBSection and displays it onto the screen.
Image that is displayed has most of it data grey in color and the image data seems to be merged with lot of noise... I doubt the issue is with the image creation....
need some help on this, all help appreciated
Let me know the flaws in the code, I am new to Windows graphic programming.
btw, i work with MFC 
Code :

There's a bunch of problems there, but the biggest one I immediately
see is in CExampleDlg::GetDIBmp().
Instead of
BITMAPINFO DIB_info;
you need to add room for the 256 entry color table you've specified when
creating the DIBSection, something like:
BITMAPINFO *pDIB_info = (BITMAPINFO *)new BYTE[sizeof(BITMAPINFO) + sizeof(RGBQUAD) * 255];
...
delete[] (BYTE*)pDIB_info;
You can then iterate through the DIB_info->bmiColors[] array and set the
color table to grayscale values...
for (int i = 0; i < 256; i++)
{
DIB_info->bmiColors[i].rgbBlue = i;
DIB_info->bmiColors[i].rgbGreen = i;
DIB_info->bmiColors[i].rgbRed = i;
DIB_info->bmiColors[i].rgbReserved = 0;
}
Then create the DIB section.
You may be able to simplify this whole thing....
What format is the ImageData pixels data? Is it already 8-bit grayscale
or is it 8-bit indexes into a color palette? Do you eventually want to be able to
convert 24-bit RGB to 8 bit grayscale?

ImageData contains 8bpp image without palette entries(Raw Data)...and thanks now my image is being displayed without any color blended with it.. but i am curious about other flaws in the code.. I would be grateful if you may take your time to point out few i know you are really busy out there but it would help a rookie to learn

my lighting model is happy when rendering built in object such as teapot. My own model is tesselated and does not repond properly to the same material settings. ie: dull,no specular response other than utter glare and in general the object ( a gear) is washed out.
I have the text books but examples are limited.
Any advice appreciated.
Bill

Do you have the normals set properly in your model? How does the size of your model compare to the size of the teapot, i.e. is it larger so that you're now too close to the light(s)?
|
|
|
|
|
Thank you Tim.
The size and position were correct as I made them that way to discover the possibilty you mentioned.
The normals; oh the normals, I had them wrong polarity pointing to the inside of my model. All three planes were wrong and now they are not. Thanks again.

Hi all,
I have a problem that the directshow graph signals complete before the source file has ended.
The code looks like this:
while (nCode != EC_COMPLETE)
{
pMediaEvent->WaitForCompletion(1000, &nCode);
....
}
pMediaControl->StopWhenReady()
So, when I am getting the EC_COMPLETE from the graph I stop it. The only problem is that the encoding still in progress and the file is still (half) full.
I realy want to know how this event works? Who/What signals it? Is it a Mux/sink filter responsibility or the source filter/Demux responsibility?
Thanks,
Y

|

HI
check for EC_ERRORABORT also
The filter grapg manager sends this notification to the application when all streams are completely rendered.

Hi all,
I am new in DirectX. 
I am using Axiom Engine to develop small 3D application using DirectX 9 (February 2007) released with C#.
I wana load .X File in my application.
But how can load?
is there any source code or link for DirectX C#?
Can any one please help me.
Thanks in advance.

Im not sure about examples using that engine, but a quick google search comes up with plenty of beginner tutorials for DirectX.
If your using C++ I'd recommend this site which provides step by step explanations of the basics.
If you using C# I'd recommend downloading the XNA framework, learning the basics there, and then maybe later working your way back into the more difficult languages. DirectX in C++ in particular can be a big learning curve and the endless errors may eat away at your motivation. XNA is pretty easy and has alot of good examples and (easily understood) documentation, so the fun aspect will stick.
If your still content on using DirectX instead of XNA in C#, then I used the rocket commander tutorials on the microsoft website (coding for fun section).
Mark.

I remembered to see an article about character segmentation in late September or early October, but I can't find it now. The article is about segmentation of touched characters for OCR, like in "WY", or "XY". If someone know where it is, can you please tell me? Thanks a lot!

Hey
Does any one know of an exporter for .max to .x files. I have the trial version of Autodesk 3D Studio max 8 and also
installed a panda plugin that does this for versions 6 and 7.
However it comes back and says it cannot convert this file type.
Thanks

I'm working on an application that displays several large image files simultaneously, and operations on each of the files takes place simultaneously as well, for example when you zoom on one image it zooms all of the images, etc.
I'm using PictureBoxes to display the images.
To do the zooming I first used simply set the SizeMode to zoom and changed the size of the PicutreBox allowing its default methods to resize the image accordingly, as shown below:
public void ZoomImage(double ZoomFactor)<br />
{<br />
zoomFactor = ZoomFactor;<br />
pbImage.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.Zoom;<br />
pbImage.Height = Convert.ToInt32(Math.Round(origHeight * ZoomFactor));<br />
pbImage.Width = Convert.ToInt32(Math.Round(origWidth * ZoomFactor));<br />
MaximumSize = new Size(pbImage.Width + 10, pbImage.Height + 30);<br />
pbImage.Invalidate();<br />
}
The problem here is that the image quality was poor. I'm not sure what interpolation algorithm it uses to do the resizing, but its not a good one.
Then I tried using a methods that I got from The Code Project that uses Graphics.DrawImage, the core of this code is shown below:
<br />
Bitmap tempBitmap = new Bitmap(pbImage.Width, pbImage.Height, PixelFormat.Format32bppRgb);<br />
<br />
tempBitmap.SetResolution(origionalImage.HorizontalResolution, origionalImage.VerticalResolution);<br />
<br />
Graphics bmGraphics = Graphics.FromImage(tempBitmap);<br />
<br />
bmGraphics.InterpolationMode = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;<br />
<br />
bmGraphics.DrawImage(origionalImage, 0, 0, pbImage.Width, pbImage.Height);<br />
<br />
bmGraphics.Dispose();<br />
<br />
pbImage.Image = tempBitmap;
The problem with this code is that it is extremely slow. When zooming to 300% it takes about a minute to resize 9 images on the screen. Using the other method it took about half a second.
Likewise, this methods actually creates new full sized images in memory, which ends up taking over a gig of memory then just to zoom in, which then starts paging and makes it even slower.
So, what are some other alternatives? I need to be able to zoom in using high quality interpolation, but PictureBox doesn't allow you to specify the interpolation method, but the method above, which does result in good picture quality, is orders of magnitude too slow and using too much memory.

Hi,
this is what I would do for simplicity and performance:
- get rid of all those PictureBoxes, replace them each by a Panel;
- load the original images in Bitmap objects once;
- don't create new Bitmaps at different resolutions;
- in each Panel's OnPaint handler simply draw the corresponding image using one of the many
Graphics.DrawImage() overloads that allow to specify both the source Rectangle and the
destination Rectangle, resulting in automatic pan&zoom capabilities.
- when the pan/zoom parameters change, call Invalidate() on all Panels that need a repaint.

Hey all. I posted this here because I don't see a specific WPF forum.
I'm curious if anyone else has wanted to or figured out a way to draw rectangles with only certain of the four corners rounded (for e.g. the bottom corners only). I bet I could sit down and work out a way to do this, but I'm new to WPF so wanted to see if it's been done before.
Thanks,
Logan
