[Learning one]

WARNING: This is old post; continuation here.

Nice bar charts example Tic! By the way, here are few functions I made;
- Gdip_ResizeBitmap()
- Gdip_RotateBitmap()
- Gdip_CropBitmap()
- Gdip_CloneBitmap()
Examples are included in comments. If you think they are useful and good enough, feel free to make them part of your Gdip library. Pastebin.

Gdip_ResizeBitmap(pBitmap, PercentOrWH, Dispose=1) { ; returns resized bitmap. By Learning one.

RegExMatch(PercentOrWH, "i)w(\d*)", w), RegExMatch(PercentOrWH, "i)h(\d*)", h)
NewWidth := w1, NewHeight := h1
NewWidth := (NewWidth = "") ? origW/(origH/NewHeight) : NewWidth
NewHeight := (NewHeight = "") ? origH/(origW/NewWidth) : NewHeight
}
else
NewWidth := origW*PercentOrWH/100, NewHeight := origH*PercentOrWH/100
pBitmap2 := Gdip_CreateBitmap(NewWidth, NewHeight)
G2 := Gdip_GraphicsFromImage(pBitmap2), Gdip_SetSmoothingMode(G2, 4), Gdip_SetInterpolationMode(G2, 7)
Gdip_DrawImage(G2, pBitmap, 0, 0, NewWidth, NewHeight)

Well learning, I haven't QUITE used it yet, but I think I will love the ResizeBitmap option you added. The one script I've been using this with will greatly use this, as I can resize any image I want into the size of the drawing board I'm using it on, instead of manually doing it.

It seems my post will be lost in the dust
Please help!

@Nimda:
DC := "Device Context"
<!-- m -->http://msdn.microsof...ibrary/dd183553<!-- m -->

A device context is a structure that defines a set of graphic objects and their associated attributes, as well as the graphic modes that affect output. The graphic objects include a pen for line drawing, a brush for painting and filling, a bitmap for copying or scrolling parts of the screen, a palette for defining the set of available colors, a region for clipping and other operations, and a path for painting and drawing operations. The remainder of this section is divided into the following three areas.

[nimda]

So, I need a DC whenever I want a pen/brush/etc.
When do I need to select stuff?

So a DC is a device context, which is basically the GDI equivalent of a Graphics pointer (pGraphics) which is GDI+
In GDI you select everything into your DC like brushes etc, similar how you use SetSmoothingMode or SetInterpolationMode to "choose your settings" for your graphics
So the gist of all of this is.....you don't need to care what a DC is when using the GDI+ library as I don't provide any functions for GDI drawing

Hi LoveJsPark

Firstly, please use the gdi+ library. I'm not sure if you copied those functions from it, but it makes it easier to know which code you are running if you use the latest version of the library

Also, try using this code and let me know if it works and we can go from there

did you guys noticed that repeated call of Gdip_Startup & Gdip_Shutdown cause mem leak?
is there only option to use Gdip_Startup once at the beginning of the script?

[Frankie]

did you guys noticed that repeated call of Gdip_Startup & Gdip_Shutdown cause mem leak?

It should only be used once in any script. Why are you using it multiple times?

[Deo]

well, i thought you should call Startup whenever you need and shutdown after you finished using gdip functions

The GdiplusShutdown function cleans up resources used by Windows GDI+. Each call to GdiplusStartup should be paired with a call to GdiplusShutdown.

if there is an only option to use these functions without leak - to use GdiplusStartup only at the start of the script, we really don't need to use GdiplusShutdown anywhere in the script, because on process close all this will be cleaned up

if you making any module that use any gdip functions - you must use GdiplusStartup & GdiplusShutdown there, or tell every user who use your module to add GdiplusStartup call at the beginning of the script lol

Many libs have a LibName_Init() function, you could put gdip_startup() there. Granted, you'd require a global for the pToken AFAICT :?

thats the way, but it not much difference with "tell user to call GdipStartup"

i mean, if you created a class which use some gdip functions, and user should create an instance of it before use - you will need to use GdipStartup in __New() and GdipShutdown in __Delete(), which slowly will eat your memory.
Sure, the leaked memory size not significant... but anyway

[nimda]

tic, I have a problem. When I try to use gdip_DrawPie() as below, I keep getting errCode 2, or "Invalid Parameter." I have no idea which parameter though :roll:
I have no idea what's wrong...

#Include <gdip>

if not pToken := gdip_startup(){
   MsgBox gdip couldn't start up.
   goto cleanup
}
width := height := 200

pBitmap := CreateDIBsection(width, height)
pGraphics := gdip_GraphicsFromImage(pBitmap)
pPen := gdip_CreatePen(0x00000000, 2)

[color=red]if errorCode := gdip_DrawPie(pGraphics, pPen, 2, 2, 50, 50, 2, 90){
   MsgBox Pie drawing failed! %errorCode% ; 2[/color]
   goto cleanup
}
If not ErrorCode := gdip_SaveBitmapToFile(pBitmap, (f := (A_ScriptDir . "\pie.jpg")))
	run % f
else MsgBox % errorCode

cleanup:
gdip_DeletePen(pPen)
gdip_DisposeImage(pBitmap)
gdip_DeleteGraphics(pGraphics)
gdip_Shutdown(pToken)
