Graphics

I tried GDI+ DrawImage but it will always fit image in parallelogram where is in my case it always need not be parallelogram.

Force Code wrote: I copied this into a test program, compiled it, and it did nothing. So, I replaced their "render_text(ras, ren, sl, gl, 10, 100, "Hello, World!")" with a straight win32 TextOut, and got impeccably rendered "Hello World" output indistinguishable from what AGG supposedly produces. But then, I noticed in their code they were calling the Win32 CreateFont with ANTIALIASED_QUALITY specified. So, I have no idea what AGG achieves on its own. As it turns out, ANTIALIASED_QUALITY was all I needed in my own project to begin with. I was utilizing someone else's code in which CreateFont was called with DEFAULT_QUALITY. Here's an interesting epilogue to this story. I recently downloaded GDI+ which I haven't used before. As I said above, just using the straight GDI CreateFont (or actually CreateFontIndirect) and specifying ANTIALIASED_QUALITY, gives you as good text quality for large fonts as could possibly be imagined. So I was curious about the capabilities of GDI+. With it, you call, graphics.SetTextRenderingHint(TextRenderingHintAntiAliasGridFit), which gives you the highest quality fonts available through GDI+ for non XP systems (I am using Win 2000.) So I tried it and amazingly, the quality was *much* worse than with straight GDI. It looked like it wasn't anti-aliased at all, until you notice that yeah, it is a *little* bit smoother (This was on 72 point Times New Roman; bold, italic). This is very strange, since GDI+ itself uses over 180 GDI functions. There is one higher quality font level available in GDI+, only for XP and Win Server 2003 - TextRenderingHintClearTypeGridFit. It supposedly uses revolutionary "ClearType" technology. I think its clear that what happened is that Microsoft just downgraded font rendering for everything prior to XP, and made their old anti-aliasing algorithm only available for XP or higher, and gave it a new name - "ClearType". Maybe this has been observed before.

How....can u explain a bit more.. Regards

Hi Mark, unfortunately, I've to leave immediately for a business trip until June, 22nd (I'm somewhat in a hurry to get the plane...). I'm going to try later what happens when dragging another window across the loop's form. So far thanks for your efforts, I get in touch with you as soon as I'm back. All the best Wolfgang

Thanks to VizCoder providing confirmation that ArrayList's are indeed any type I looked at my orriginal attempt again. All I needed to do was change the DrawImage method to.. public void DrawImage(int Image, int x, int y) { ssurf.DrawFast(0,0,(Surface)al[Image-1],ImageRect,DrawFastFlags.DoNotWait); } Because the ArrayList object can be of any type I had to cast it as type surface when using it (Surface)al[Image-1]

DirectX is the most obvious, seeing as you want to use LINQ, which means managed code.

Thank u so much... Born To Code

You have to cut it up into pieces and then put those pieces into a web site through img controls, and do as much as you can using CSS instead Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ Metal Musings - Rex and my new metal blog "I am working on a project that will convert a FORTRAN code to corresponding C++ code.I am not aware of FORTRAN syntax" ( spotted in the C++/CLI forum )

At the very least you can peek at the code and see how they do the binding. :) _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

You need to store any information you need to redraw all the lines when you receive the WM_PAINT notification. For a DC to do the drawing to, you can use the BeginPaint/EndPaint APIs or get a DC for the window and handle the validating of the update region of the window yourself. What language are you coding in? Mark "Posting a VB.NET question in the C++ forum will end in tears." Chris Maunder

Cool! I had no idea using the properties in the loop would be that slow! Good to know! :) Mark "Posting a VB.NET question in the C++ forum will end in tears." Chris Maunder
