first confirm is ok. ...
link this gdiplus.obj file in your code ...

It works!!!

Mr Manuel

Code: Select all  Expand view

Bitmap* newImage  = new Bitmap( nWidth, nHeight, PixelFormat32bppPARGB ) ; //   cambio aqui ---- original->GetPixelFormat() );

This is the change you made. That means this function adopts "PixelFormat32bppPARGB" for "all" image/bitmap files, irrespective of the source and present pixelformat.
Does it have any side effects on other file formats?

I've been using it time and have not had any problems.
actually we assume that all "imported" to gdi+ is 32bit (highest quality) then return HBITMAP not had problem

One of the cases I can now recollect is non-alpha bmp files.
The hBitmap returned is an alpha bmp. We get into problem while rendering.

I confirm. All images loaded with GDI+ are "marked" as alphachannel even if they are not.

Yes, same case in GDIP_IMAGEFROMFILE -> BitmapFromStream ....

....
PixelFormat pf = original->GetPixelFormat();

if ( pf != PixelFormatUndefined && ( ! IsExtendedPixelFormat( pf ) ) )
{
newImage = new Bitmap( nWidth, nHeight, ( pf == PixelFormat32bppRGB ? PixelFormat32bppPARGB : pf ) );

if ( pf == PixelFormat32bppRGB ) // AlphaBmp: Need to do additional work
....

by now there have been no trouble for it.
another solution is to put a exception for gif.

Any news?

EMG

Nages and this solution?

Code: Select all  Expand view

.....

 int nWidth  = original->GetWidth()  ;
 int nHeight = original->GetHeight() ;

 PixelFormat pf ;
 
 if( strncmp( adr, "GIF", 3 ) != 0 )   // detect if file is a gif type.
       pf = original->GetPixelFormat();
  else
      pf = PixelFormat32bppPARGB ;
   
  Bitmap* newImage  = new Bitmap( nWidth, nHeight, pf ) ;

 Graphics * graphics = new Graphics( newImage );

.....

 

Mr Manuel

So your proposal is to force 32bppPARGB for GIFs.
Done it.

I'm ready to test it.

yes.
another option ...
pass a new parameter that specifies that we want to use 32 bits

Code: Select all  Expand view

.......

PixelFormat pf ;
     pf = original->GetPixelFormat();
 
bool l32bpp = hb_parl( 2)  

  if (  ( strncmp( adr, "GIF", 3 ) == 0  )  &  ( l32bpp == TRUE )   )
            pf = PixelFormat32bppPARGB ;
   
  Bitmap* newImage  = new Bitmap( nWidth, nHeight, pf ) ;
........

 

Enrico . For your test ...

Cheers.

Probably I'm doing something wrong but it doesn't work (GIFs are still bad rendered).
