Thank you, Blackholyman.

I had to think about this myself. I feel so stupid now.

[Frisko]

Hello, first of all: Thanks to tic for this great library and all the others that help to improve it!

 

Now my issue: Suppose I have an image with a non-transparent part in the middle surrounded by transparency. How do I get the dimensions of the non-transparent part only (Gdip_GetImageDimensions gives you the dimensions of the whole image).

 

I tried the functions Gdip_CreateHBITMAPFromBitmap(pBitmap, Background=0xffffffff) but that only fills transparent areas with the color specified.

 

Do I have to loop through all pixels and find the non-transparent pixels with GetPixel, then crop, then get dimensions? That would be really slow I suppose.

 

Or is there a function in GDI that I could call with DllCall() that can crop/erase transparent parts? I searched the MS Docs but couldn't find an appropriate function.

 

Maybe using a Matrix? You see, I am lost... :-) Some help please.

Hi Frisko

 

The fastest option really will just be to use machine code. It only needs to scan one line to find the first pixel from the left and right. This could be just called once to find the answer, but it would be so quick that you may as well have a reusable function to find separately the first non-transparent x from left or right

 

I don't have visual studio C++ installed any longer so can't compile this, and so is untested:

int Gdip_FirstOpaqueX(unsigned char * bitmap, int w, int d)
{
	if (d)
	{
		for (int x = 0; x < w; ++x)
		{
			if (bitmap[3+(4*x)] != 0) return x;
		}
	}
	else
	{
		for (int x = w; x > 0; --x)
		{
			if (bitmap[3+(4*x)] != 0) return x;
		}
	}
    return -1;
}

And then could be used in a standard Gdip machine code function with something like

x1 := DllCall(&_FirstOpaqueX, "ptr", Scan0, "int", w, "int", 0)
x2 := DllCall(&_FirstOpaqueX, "ptr", Scan0, "int", w, "int", 1)
opaqueWidth := x2 - x1

Let me know if you have problems using this and can direct you how to compile it (The easiest would be to install VS C++ and then just run the MCode Creator on the forums)

Hey tic,

 

thanks for your help. I took this approach and here is my solution for anybody who needs it :-)

The function finds the left/top/right and bottommost pixel that is not the color specified. The result is a rectangle with X1,Y1 and X2,Y2. The function then creates a new bitmap of this area and returns it. Basically it cuts all colored/transparent space that surrounds a solid shape the bounds of a shape. What you get is the solid shape shape cutted to its rectangular bound. Then you can get the dimensions, save it to file or whatever you want.

 

Tested with shape rectangle, square, circle, triangle, ellipsis and polygon on transparent, black, red, green and blue background.

You'll need a MCode Function. I am using Bentschi's (thanks Bentschi!)

Woow ...!  Thanks a lot Frisko and Tic  it enables me to try out a project i had i mind 

[tic]

Nice work Frisko.

Could you also post your C++ in your post. It makes it easier for anyone to modify if their use-case is slightly different.

I updated my post.

Btw: The purpose of the function is not to extract/clip/mask a shape. The description was a bit confusing, so I changed it accordingly.

Hi guys,

yesterday, I updated my AutoHotKey from 1.1.10.01 to 1.1.19.03 on my Win7 64bit machine. I had been using this script http://www.autohotke...-time/?p=662909for quite a while without problems. Unfortunately it stopped working after the update. To be exact, it's still working in the background, but the clock just doesn't appear on the screen any more. This is why I suspect that something is broken on the graphical side. That script was not written by me originally, I just added some non-graphics-related features, so I don't have much experience about how to go around with Gdip_All.ahk. Anyway, it was working fine with v1.1.10.01, and it is not working now. Btw, I also updated Gdip_All.ahk from the version at https://ahknet.autoh...ll/Gdip_All.ahk to the version shared by Blackholyman on Dropbox, which was updated last on 2/20/2014. Do you have any ideas, what could be the reason? I also checked the recent changes in AutoHotKey, but I couldn't find the relevant piece.
Your help is much appreciated.

Support for this lib is now at http://ahkscript.org....php?f=6&t=6517

[pecsabi]

Thank you, space!

[tic]

As mentioned previously, support for legacy AHK will soon be dropped from the Gdip library as all active development has moved to AHK v1.1

 

http://ahkscript.org/

 

The Gdip library is being completely overhauled and can be viewed on the new forums and all links will be removed from these old forums in the coming months. All examples will be completely rewritten for the new library and new controls and methods will be created as well as completely new examples.

 

Development can be viewed on the new forums:

Thanks for that amazing library! I use it in AutoHotFlow.

Hi there,

 

I was wondering if you can help me, i find gdip quite confusing as i am not a proficient programmer.

 

I am trying to crop an image i am searching with, can i use GDIP for that?

 

I had in mind something like this:

 

1) i use testimage.png, and would like to search the screen for a percentage of the horizontal of that image. 

So if the testimage.png is 10x100, would like to be able to crop the image horizontally, say 60%, so i am only using the first 60 pixels in my imagesearch.

 

I presume i would need to save the saved testimage.png as a temporary image, example, temporarytestimage.png.

The cut off the last number of horizontal pixels, using gdip? So if i wanted to search only 60% i would cut the image by the last 40 pixals.

Then use the new temporarytestimage.png in the imagesearch

Then delete afterwards.

 

Is all my ramblings possible with GDIP?

 

Kindest Regards

Surreall
