About vbWidgets:
1) where should I put the vbWidgets.DLL ? (I put it in App.Path)
I have AppPath\vbRC5BaseDlls containing the RichClient DLLs

Always put it beside vbRichClient5.dll for regfree deployment, so this is correct.

2) is it correct (to make it RegFree) my change on vbWidgets SubMain ?:

No, what's already there inside Sub Main was correct - and ensures that
the vbWidgets.dll can use *other classes from the RC5 regfree internally*.

In your case, you want to create instances of Classes regfree, which vbWidgets.dll
*exports* on its outside interface (all of the cwWidget-Thingys).

And so, this case has to be handled within your App, not in vbWidgets.dll.

I've seen, that you re-create a New_c (along with a Cairo) regfree in each and
every Class in your StdExe-Project. That is *not* necessary.
When New_c and Cairo are defined Public in a *.bas Module, then they are
automatically "visible" and usable in each and every code-snippet in your
entire Project, so they have to be created Regfree only *once* (in Sub Main()).

Now, to create Widget-Classes regfree from within your Std-Exe-Project,
I usually write a small function for that ....(Public, and placed in the same
Code-Module (besides Sub Main()):

Public Function NewWidget(ClassName As String) As Object
  If App.Logmode Then 'we run compiled
     Set NewWidget = New_c.RegFree.GetInstanceEx(App.Path & "\vbRC5BaseDlls\vbWidgets.dll", ClassName)
  Else 'we run in the IDE, so we create the instance from the registered version
     Set NewWidget = CreateObject("vbWidgets." & ClassName)
  End If
End FUnction

3) Where can I find Other Branches of vbWidgets ?

The one on GitHub is the one to use, if you have useful enhancements which
you think should be placed in the Master-Branch there, post them to me,
or make a Git-Pull-Request.

Not so easy, I succeded on changing a little bit the cwFileList
so that when a Key is pressed, it set its position to the first item that start with pressedKey-character.
(quite like VB-Control)

That would be a change you could mail me, so that I can update the GitHub-Repo.

5) How to set the Zorder of widgets ?
ah, ok, they seem to follow the "Form.Widgets.Add(" creation order.
At the moment I do not need to change it at Runtime.

IIRC there should be already a "MoveToFront"-Method in cWidgetBase.

6) PropertyGrid-Widget

Seems so easy, but not to me...
Even just only Implementing the PropertyGrid-Widget is an hard challenge for me.
Does standard cwGrid implement "right Column shows the Value (depending on the Value-Type, switching between TextBox, Combo or CheckBox)." ??? [I need HscrollBar too]

In the PropertyGrid-Widget should appear only the properties of Selected Node
-When a Node is Clicked Public-PARAMS-UDT-variable values should be "transfered" to the Grid (and diplay only them)
-When user tweaks properties on GRID they should be transfered to the Public-PARAMS....

I'm thinking about an easyer way...

First thing to make it easy should be, to transfer all your Imaging-Algos into a Dll-Project -
wrapping each of the Algos in its own Class (with all its Parameters as Public Properties).

Example for an RGB-Color-Inversion-Algo:

Option Explicit

'the Properties are free definable, and can be enumerated completely with the RC5.cProperties-Enumerator later on
Public OnRedChannel As Boolean 
Public OnGreenChannel As Boolean 
Public OnBlueChannel As Boolean 

Private Sub Class_Initialize() 'set Default-Values
  OnRedChannel = True
  OnGreenChannel = True
  OnBlueChannel = True
End Sub

'Now, two generic (unchanging) Public Methods, each Class has to implement in the same signature

'one for Pixels, to process in a Surface-Container
Public Sub PerformOnSurface(Src As cCairoSurface, Dst As cCairoSurface)
   If OnRedChannel Then 'perform your Inversion Loop on the Red-Bytes of Src

   End If
   
   If OnGreenChannel Then ... a.s.o.
End Sub

'and one for your Double-Precision-Arrays
Public Sub PerformOnDoubleArrays(SrcR() As Double, SrcG() As Double, SrcB() As Double)
   If OnRedChannel Then 'perform your Loop on SrcR

   End If
   
   If OnGreenChannel Then ... a.s.o.
End Sub

'Maybe two additional Properties should be defined in such a default-interface on each of those Classes
Public Property Get SupportsSurfaces() As Boolean

End Property
Public Property Get SupportsDoubleArrays() As Boolean

End Property

With such a generic usable Dll-Class-definition (which later on would even allow People
to contribute "Plugins"), you should be able to cover most of what you currently have.

I mean, why not "doing it right from the get-go", since you're currently in a re-design-
phase anyways...

Remember, that you can easily load such an "Algo-Class-Definition" from your Dll
regfree later on (quite similar to what you do with vbWidgets.dll-Classes) - and you could
run them in the IDE (whilst developing your surrounding GUI-Project) *native-compiled*
in full-speed (from the compiled Dll).

I know that such "architectural-considerations" are sometimes "hurtful for the creative mind"
(which doesn't want to get bothered with such "unimportant details") - but once you have it
in place, you will thank yourself later on, when the project evolves.

[reexre]

on VList I put an event on W_KeyUp Event

RaiseEvent KeyPressedMy(KeyCode)
W.RaiseBubblingEvent Me, "KeyPressedMy", KeyCode

[W.RaiseBubblingEvent] I don't know what is this , I just copy from other places.

And On cwFileList

Private Sub VList_KeyPressedMy(wK As Integer)
'REEXRE

    Dim J      As Long

    For J = 0 To VList.ListCount - 1
        If UCase(Left$(mDirList.FileName(J), 1)) >= Chr$(wK) Then: Exit For
    Next

    If J <> 0 Then
        VList.ListIndex = J
        VList.Selected(J) = True
    End If

    VList.Widget.Refresh
    W.Refresh

End Sub

Widget Creation:

Private WithEvents cmdSave As vbWidgets.cwButton
Set cmdSave = Me.Widgets.Add(New vbWidgets.cwButton, "cmdSave", 325, 20, 65, 60)

where ME is another (parent)widgets (or fMain.Form )
is wrong ? (seems to work)

fx DLL

Not so difficult to Create a DLL with all the FXs in separate Classes.
Not so clear point to me is creating the ProgressBar Events that each class will fires.

MIX2 class example:

Option Explicit

Public Event SetProgress(V As Long, Str As String)

Public MixMode As Long
Public Value100 As Double



Private Sub Class_Initialize()
    Value100 = 50
    MixMode = 0
End Sub


Public Sub RUN(V1() As Double, V2() As Double, OUT() As Double)
    Dim X      As Long
    Dim Y      As Long
    Dim XT     As Long
    Dim YT     As Long
    Dim P      As Double

    XT = UBound(V1, 1)
    YT = UBound(V1, 2)
    ReDim OUT(XT, YT)

    MixMode = MixMode    ' MAINparams(caller).P(1)
    P = Value100 * 0.01    'MAINparams(caller).P(2) * 0.01

    RaiseEvent SetProgress(0, "")

    Select Case MixMode
    Case 0    'AVG
        For X = 0 To XT
            For Y = 0 To YT
                OUT(X, Y) = V1(X, Y) * (1 - P) + V2(X, Y) * P
            Next
        Next
    Case 1  'MUL
        For X = 0 To XT
            For Y = 0 To YT
                OUT(X, Y) = V1(X, Y) * V2(X, Y)
            Next
        Next

    Case 2  'SUM
        For X = 0 To XT
            For Y = 0 To YT
                OUT(X, Y) = V1(X, Y) + V2(X, Y)
                If OUT(X, Y) > 1 Then OUT(X, Y) = 1
            Next
        Next
    Case 3  'DIFF
        For X = 0 To XT
            For Y = 0 To YT
                OUT(X, Y) = V1(X, Y) - V2(X, Y)
            Next
        Next

    Case 4    'GREATER
        For X = 0 To XT
            For Y = 0 To YT
                If V1(X, Y) > V2(X, Y) Then
                    OUT(X, Y) = V1(X, Y)
                Else
                    OUT(X, Y) = V2(X, Y)
                End If
            Next
        Next

    Case 5    'SMALLER
        For X = 0 To XT
            For Y = 0 To YT
                If V1(X, Y) < V2(X, Y) Then
                    OUT(X, Y) = V1(X, Y)
                Else
                    OUT(X, Y) = V2(X, Y)
                End If
            Next
        Next

    End Select


    RaiseEvent SetProgress(100, "")

End Sub

- In Main Project it is not possible to declare the Events of Dll-Classes in a Module
(Private withevents MyDLL.ClassName)
So I must declare all the Effects (whole DLL) in a New (MainProject) Class.

And this New MainProject (all-fx in DLL) Class will have:

Public WithEvents FX01 As PhotoFX.SetOutput
Public WithEvents fxMIX2 As PhotoFX.MIX2
Private Sub Class_Initialize()
   Set FX01 = New PhotoFX.SetOutput
   Set fxMIX2 = New PhotoFX.MIX2
End Sub

For each effect.
...
..Anyway this works ...

---

I'm going to make all the effects in a single DLL.

- I never made a distributable (without Installer) project that contains my own DLLs
So, Should I make it regFree ? , how to do it?

- this way all the algorithms will be usable by anyone in another project ... (not so good)


cwGRID

How to do it?
I'm sure I cant make it myself.

-First, it must display only property of selected Node-fx.

Left Column Property Name, Right Column the widget, that can be
cwText
cwButton-checkbox
cwDropDownList
cwHscrollBar.

-I think the right column-widgets should have the ability to RaiseEvents too, so when user changes their values, the MAINParams(whichNode).Parameter(CurrentParameter) values are updated.
[The Project-Flow can have the same NodeFxType many times in different Nodes]

-How should it recognize the Type of widgets to display ? since on fx-DLLs most fx-properties are simply numerical (long)
[For example how would it know if it is a cwText or a cwHscrollbar ? ]

-Some of the Row of the cwGRID should be hidden depending on another Row value. [not a must]
(for example in MIX2 , If cwDropDownlist is "AVG" a cwHScroll should be visible, but in other cases (SUM,SUB,...) the cwHScroll should be hidden (because useless)


...I'm feeling "complexity" is increasing too much

[Schmidt]

on VList I put an event on W_KeyUp Event

I've implemented your suggestion in cwFileList now.

Please wait a few days for a new release of vbWidgets
(since I also implement a cwPropertyGrid currently, which I need for a Form-Designer anyways).

[W.RaiseBubblingEvent] I don't know what is this , I just copy from other places.

A normally raised VB-Event will only be *directly* received by the class which
hosts that Widget (withEvents) - whilst the Bubbling-events move through
each and every Parent (up to the hosting WidgetForm) and can be received
there too...(which allows for a whole lot of easy to implement scenarios -
e.g. something like "Control-Arrays" are not necessary anymore, since with
the Bubbling-Events the Parent will receive any Event from any Child-Widget
anyways).

Widget Creation:

Private WithEvents cmdSave As vbWidgets.cwButton
Set cmdSave = Me.Widgets.Add(New vbWidgets.cwButton, "cmdSave", 325, 20, 65, 60)

where ME is another (parent)widgets (or fMain.Form )
is wrong ? (seems to work)

Any Object which supports a "Widgets" Property can host other ChildWidgets -
the approach is entirely hierarchic and even the simplest little cwLabel can
act as a Container for other Widgets.

fx DLL

Not so difficult to Create a DLL with all the FXs in separate Classes.
Not so clear point to me is creating the ProgressBar Events that each class will fires.

Introduce an additional Parameter (of Type IProgressEvent) - this way
the caller of your "heavy Functions" can pass its own Object-Instance
into the called Method (per Me) - the only necessity is, that the caller
in question (e.g. your cfForm-Class, or a Container-WIdget), implements
IProgressEvent (with VBs Implements-Keyword)

IProgressEvent itself can be defined in a small (Public) VB-Class,
which contains only the Method-Signature - as e.g.:

Public Sub Progress(Byval Percentage As Double, Sender As Object)
End Sub

This callback-scheme is quite a lot faster than normal VB-Events.

I'm going to make all the effects in a single DLL.

- I never made a distributable (without Installer) project that contains my own DLLs
So, Should I make it regFree ? , how to do it?

In the same way (over a small function, as seen in one of my last posts) which shows,
how you should instantiate Classes from vbWidgets.dll (per ClassName-String-Param).

- this way all the algorithms will be usable by anyone in another project ... (not so good)

This is solvable with ease, since any Plugin-Dll (also those from other authors),
will need (besides the Algo-Classes) a central "Main-Class" (e.g. named cMain),
which will provide (also over a "normed Interface") methods like:

Public Function GetAvailableAlgorithmClassNames() As Collection
End Function

'and for those who want to make the usage dependent on a Password or Key,
'there's the cCrypt-Class which allows e.g. for CRAM-MD5 or CRAM-SHA1 
'challenge-response Authentication, and the result of that could be stored 
'in a Dll-Global *.bas-Module-variable, which on Procedure-Entry of all the 
'FX-Functions would be visible - and would allow an "early exit" (doing nothing,
'in case there was no successful authentication)

So that's elegantly solvable over such a cMain-Class, which you will need anyways
(e.g. when a routine is parsing the "Plugins-Directory" for available Dlls, the
cMain-class could be easily instantiated regfree - and calling its Method:
GetAvailableAlgorithmClassNames would then allow you a Listing for each
of the found Dlls (what they have to offer).

cwGRID

Don't bother - it's "in the works" already (80% already done).

Here's a ScreenShot of what I've currently accomplished:


Olaf

[reexre]

UPDATE

I could not get out from Dlls-hell

Tried this, but did not work

Public Function NewWidget(ClassName As String) As Object
  If App.Logmode Then 'we run compiled
     Set NewWidget = New_c.RegFree.GetInstanceEx(App.Path & "\vbRC5BaseDlls\vbWidgets.dll", ClassName)
  Else 'we run in the IDE, so we create the instance from the registered version
     Set NewWidget = CreateObject("vbWidgets." & ClassName)
  End If
End FUnction

Now it's used:
in cFmain

Public PANELMain As cwPanelMain
Private Sub Class_Initialize()
    Set Form = Cairo.WidgetForms.Create(vbSizable, "PhotoModularFX " & APP.Major & "." & APP.Minor & "." & APP.Revision, , 900, 700)
    Set PANELMain = Form.Widgets.Add(New cwPanelMain, "PanelMain", Form.ScaleWidth - 400, 0, 400, 300)
End Sub

in cwPanelMain:

Private WithEvents cFile1 As vbWidgets.cwFileList
Private Sub Class_Initialize()
    Set W = Cairo.WidgetBase
    Set cFile1 = W.Widgets.Add(New cwFileList, "File1", 180, 20, 140, 240)
End Sub

So I created a little Exe to Run as Administrator for the registration of vbWidgets.dll based on this code.

No Dll problem for vbRichClient and my own dll PhotoFX.dll

Public WithEvents fxMIX2 As PhotoFX.MIX2
Private Sub Class_Initialize()
Set fxMIX2 = GetInstanceFromBinFolder("PhotoFX", "Mix2", "BIN")

Can provide the sample project file to learn?

This is not done *using* the cwGrid, but instead the *approach* (how cwGrid itself was implemented)
is used in cwPropertyGrid as well ("visually inheriting" from cwVList).

I will post an appropriate example either end of this week - maybe mid next week, but not much later,
in the CodeBank.

Nice so far.

Maybe a hint again for your currently needed Installer/Uninstaller (which I think is only
used for the vbWidgets.dll).

As already written further above - to create new Widgets you will simply have to
Paste the following small Function into a *.bas-Module (e.g. into the same one, which contains Sub Main)

Public Function NewWidget(ClassName As String) As Object
  If App.Logmode Then 'we run compiled
     Set NewWidget = New_c.RegFree.GetInstanceEx(App.Path & "\vbRC5BaseDlls\vbWidgets.dll", ClassName)
  Else 'we run in the IDE, so we create the instance from the registered version
     Set NewWidget = CreateObject("vbWidgets." & ClassName)
  End If
End Function

Now, with that routine in place, you should do a global project-search for the string:
'New cw' (without the apostrophes)

This should stop on all positions, where you create any Widget-Instances...

Now you will only have to decide, if the "marked" WidgetCreation line in your current search-
result specifies a Widget from vbWIdgets.dll (as e.g. cwVList) - or if one of your own
(Project-Private defined cwMyWidget-Classes) was found.

In case of a Widget from vbWidgets.dll, you can then use:
e.g. instead of:

Form.Widgets.Add New cwVList, ..., ...

The new regfree Creation-Routine from your *.bas Module this way:

Form.Widgets.Add NewWidget("cwVList"), ..., ...

This shouldn't take more than 2 Minutes or so.

The little NewWidget-Function Auto-Detects already, whether you run your Project within the IDE -
and in this case it uses the recently compiled (or registered) version of vbWidgets.dll -
or in case you run compiled - it will "draw the Widget-Instance" regfree from the vbWidgets.dll
which was placed in your \vbRC5BaseDlls\-Folder (sitting there beside vbRichClient5.dll).

Just take care (in case you edit stuff on vbWidgets.dll and recompile yourself), that this recently
compiled or registered version of vbWidgets.dll is placed also in the \vbRC5BaseDlls\-Folder,
before you test it in Binary-Format, or "zip it for deployment". That latter one is a requirement,
because the IDE will "link in the interfaces from the Widget-Classes" always from the recently
registered (or compiled) Version of vbWidgets in your System - so when you later run your
Executable-Binary - those "linked in interfaces" have to match with the ones it finds in the
regfree loaded version of vbWidgets.dll, it finds in your \vbRC5BaseDlls\-Folder.

That's because the vbWidgets.dll Project is still in development - and although many of its
Widgets are already "interface-stable enough", there's still some Widget-Classes where some
changes or enhancments are made - and thus this Dll-Project is (other than the vbRichClient5-Dll)
not yet switched into "Binary-Compatibility Mode" (it still is at "Project-Compatibility"), which
allows for easier creation of Project-Groups for Debugging.

[smileyoufu]

Thank you very much.
Look forward to your demo release schedule

[reexre]

Thank you very much Olaf, I'll take into account your Suggestion later.

I have a simple question:

I populate a cwDropDownList where items are not inserted in alphabetical order.

1)-I want that they appear in the list in alphabetical order
2)-and I want that when an item is selected, the returned position(index) is not the Alphabetical order one,
but the one corrisponding to Insertion order.
(don't know if I was clear)

EG
Insertion
HDR (item 0)
DoG (item 1)
ABS (item 2)

Appear:
ABS
DoG
HDR

and
when I select HDR I want to be returned 0
when I select ABS I want to be returned 2

To populate the cwDropDownList I do this way: (maybe there's a better way)

    Set cmbFxSelector = W.Widgets.Add(New cwDropDownList, "cmbFxSelector", 5, 250, 90, 25)
    Set COL = New_c.Collection(False, TextCompare, True)
    For I = 0 To UBound(ActionString)
        COL.Add I, ActionString(I)  
    Next
    cmbFxSelector.SetDataSource COL, "cmbData"

I populate a cwDropDownList where items are not inserted in alphabetical order.

1)-I want that they appear in the list in alphabetical order
2)-and I want that when an item is selected, the returned position(index) is not the Alphabetical order one,
but the one corrisponding to Insertion order.
(don't know if I was clear)

That's entirely clear (and a quite common scenario).

The cwDropDownlist implements the Widget-DataSource-Methods
(which work in conjunction with the cDataSource-Class-Type).

cDataSource in turn can be "handed-over" either a cCollection or a cRecordset.

You discovered that already on your own.

What now remains is, that you make use of the cDataSource-Class's Sort-Property.

Code into a *normal* VB-TestForm (but ensure Project-References to vbRichClient5 and vbWidgets):

Option Explicit

Private WithEvents pnlTest As cWidgetForm
Private WithEvents cmbFx As cwDropDownList
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
  Set pnlTest = Cairo.WidgetForms.CreateChild(hWnd)
  Set cmbFx = pnlTest.Widgets.Add(New cwDropDownList, "cmbFx", 10, 10, 200, 25)
  
  Dim Col As cCollection
  Set Col = New_c.Collection(False)
      Col.Add 0, "HDR"
      Col.Add 1, "DoG"
      Col.Add 2, "ABS"
 
  cmbFx.SetDataSource Col, "cmbData"
  cmbFx.DataSource.Sort = "Key Asc" 'or "Key Desc" if you want descending Order
  cmbFx_Click
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Resize()
  ScaleMode = vbPixels
  pnlTest.Move 0, 0, ScaleWidth, ScaleHeight
End Sub
 
Private Sub cmbFx_Click()
  If cmbFx.ListIndex < 0 Then Exit Sub
  Caption = cmbFx.DataSource("Value") & " " & cmbFx.DataSource("Key")
  'or alternatively: Caption = cmbFx.DataSource(1) & " " & cmbFx.DataSource(0)
End Sub

Here is a ScreenShot:


The Sort-behaviour can (other than with VB-Combo or ListControls)
be switched at Runtime (either to Asc, Desc or an empty String in the Sort-Prop will ensure "no sorting" again)

Are you sure, that you didn't activate the MultiFile-Select-Flag (OFN_ALLOWMULTISELECT)?
Because that's the return-format which gets delivered, in case you made a selection of multiple Files.

Olaf

[reexre]

I applied no flags, so they are the default ones. And I tried to multiselect, but it is not allowed by default (seems to me)
It happens when I load picture A and then I load picture B. If I load first picture B, no error. And it happens only with certain filesname/picture.
The filename after separator | is not any one of current folder. it's a number name such as 01.jpg , 1.jpg
I thought it could be due to Dropbox , I think it "appends" extra data on files.
When copying files from "Dropbox folders" to external USB storage , a system warning tells that "some extra data" will not be copyed.


NTFS to FAT

[Schmidt]

I applied no flags, so they are the default ones. And I tried to multiselect, but it is not allowed by default (seems to me)

The Flag which enables the selection of multiple Files is: OFN_ALLOWMULTISELECT ...

And I tried with the new RC5-version 5.0.31 to handle the ZeroChar-Detection
on returned results a bit differently now - maybe that makes a difference on XP
(it didn't make any on Win7 and Win8 which I tested here).

Would be nice if you could check this new version out on your XP-machine
(without your applied Workarounds) - and give me a shout in case the behaviour
is still there...

[Tanner_H]

Hi reexre. Looks like you are making lots of continued improvements to the program. Nice work!

I notice some of the effects you've added are identical to those in PhotoDemon. If you developed them independently, that's great, but if you based them off PhotoDemon code, please make sure to follow the project's BSD license (which is clearly marked at the top of all source files).

In particular, notice of copyright and a copy of the license must be included with your project. This is especially important if you used PhotoDemon code for filters like Kuwahara, which an outside developer contributed to PD. I need to make sure the copyrights of my third-party contributors are respected.

I took from your code only nature filters and temperature do they nave some kind of copyright ?
In case give me instructions I will do ASAP

[reexre]

Would be nice if you could check this new version out on your XP-machine
(without your applied Workarounds) - and give me a shout in case the behaviour
is still there...

Now not on XP... I'll be on XP in fiew days . In case something will not work with New Version of vbRC I'll tell you (thanks)

Kwuahara is done by myself.

Nice work! I haven't seen many Kuwahara implementations "in the wild", let alone in VB, so it is great to see other people working with it.

Yes, like all open-source projects, PhotoDemon's code is under copyright. Open-sourcing a program doesn't remove copyrights; it just means people are allowed to use your copyrighted work with minimal restrictions. But the work still belongs to the original creator.

The BSD license PhotoDemon uses is probably the easiest and simplest open-source license. Somewhere in your project (About screen, README, Help PDF, whatever), you just need to make sure the user sees which parts of the program are BSD-licensed, and what the terms of the license are. So something like this is fine:

Temperature and Nature Filters originally from the PhotoDemon project, www.photodemon.org.  

PhotoDemon is Copyright (c) 2015 by Tanner Helland and Contributors. All rights reserved.

Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions are met:

    Redistributions of source code must retain the above copyright notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer.

Since your project is closed source, the second point is what matters: "Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution."

Open-source licenses are important for a lot of reasons. They are the only way users know to report bugs or suggestions upstream, so I can fix and improve the original code (and all the other projects who use the code can benefit).

They are also important for letting others know that they are free to use those filters and features in their own projects.

Anyway, keep up the good work. The new vbWidgets interface is a really nice improvement.

[reexre]

I changed my mind, those "effects" have been removed from my project.

At the moment I prefer this project to be the result of my own work.
I prefer not to include in readme, PDF-help ecc... links/names of contributors except Olaf Schmidt or someone who will have or had an heavy impact on the quality of the project.

@ OLAF

hi
please could you give me some information about the Antialiasing CairoContest options?


CC.AntiAlias = CAIRO_ANTIALIAS_DEFAULT
CC.AntiAlias = CAIRO_ANTIALIAS_GRAY
CC.AntiAlias = CAIRO_ANTIALIAS_SUBPIXEL
I need the faster except CAIRO_ANTIALIAS_NONE

http://cairographics.org/documentati...ants-antialias

By the way, in widgets I suppose this Setting is inheritable. Am I right ?

To me CAIRO_ANTIALIAS_DEFAULT seems slower
thanks

@OLAF and who may help

I'm trying to implement an "Halftone" FX.

To refresh , each Fx Sub is called this way:

Public Sub ACTION86_HALFtone(caller As Long, Input() As Double, _
                             Output() As Double)

where input and output are 2D array of doubles whom ranges from 0-1.
and, in this case, there's 1 input and 1 output.

I need to paint/draw on a Surface so:

    Dim Srf As cCairoSurface
    Dim CC As cCairoContext

    xT = UBound(Input, 1)
    yT = UBound(Input, 2)

    Set Srf = New_c.Cairo.CreateSurface(xT + 1, yT + 1, ImageSurface)
    Set CC = Srf.CreateContext

At this point I need to Draw on the CC surface and get the Bytes ( to put them on "Output" ), so:

    Dim Bytes() As Byte

    CC.Paint vbBlack
    CC.SetLineWidth 0.1, False
    CC.SetSourceColor vbWhite, 1

Inside some cycles the CC.surface is drawn, for example this way:

For X ...
For Y ...
            CC.Ellipse X, Y, v, v
            CC.Fill
Next
Next

Now, to put the result to the "Output" I do it this way:

    CC.Surface.BindToArray Bytes

    For X = 0 To xT

        For Y = 0 To yT
            Output(X, Y) = 1 - CDbl(Bytes(X * 4+1 , Y))/255
        Next
    Next
    CC.Surface.ReleaseArray Bytes

    Set CC = Nothing
    Set Srf = Nothing

If I remember the Bytes should be of ABGR that's way X is * 4
The Problem is that some times it works, but sometimes only some left Part of the surface is returned. (contained in Bytes)
these ways:
Right:

Wrong:



I really can't figure out what's wrong! :-/
Hope for your help!

[reexre]

Hi
Just resolved !!!
It was caused by CC.Ellipse X, Y, v, v
when V=0.
To Resolve just a V >=0 is needed. (even 0.001)
