How to have a sharp image conversion

[Silvio.Falconi]

to convert a png image I use

DEFAULT nResize:=0.30

hBmp: = FW_ReadImage (nil, cFile) [1]
hNew: = FW_TransformBitmap (hBmp, NIL, nResize)

FW_SaveImage (hNew, cFolderTemp + cNewName + ext, 40)

but then using a combo I don't see the sharp image

JPG


if I turn it into a bmp format it is even worse

bmp



how do i get a clear picture?

Where did you get the function FW_TransformBitmap() from?

[Silvio.Falconi]

Not Remember
I think you make a sample test (fwh 18.03)
http://forums.fivetechsupport.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=35547&start=0&hilit=FW_transformBitmap#p211638

we tried also with
FW_SaveImage( "name.png", "name.bmp" )
but the quality is no good

[Silvio.Falconi]

Rao,
Now I tried with

local nJpgQuality := 90

FW_SaveImage( cFile, cFolderTemp+cNewName+ext,nJpgQuality )

and now run ok



before png->jpg
then jpg->bmp
and the image is clear now

Thanks. Now I got it. This function is in source\function\imgtxtio.prg.
Looks like quality is lost while resizing.

So, do you want to convert a png file as jpg with reduced size?

local nJpgQuality := 90

FW_SaveImage( cFile, cFolderTemp+cNewName+ext,nJpgQuality )

and now run ok

This saves png as jpg but does not reduce the size. Is that what you want?

Can you please
1) Let me know why do you want to convert png to jpg with reduced size? Can you not directly use png?
2) Can you send me your png by email? Like to some tests and see.

1) I must use a combobox control . It use only bmp image so I must convert before png to jpg then png to bmp. If I convert png to bmp directly we have no sharp Image ( with black shadow)
2) I send now a message with Png file

[nageswaragunupudi]

I understand.
We will do some tests and see if we can improve our functions.

You wanted to do resize also. How did you do that?

[Silvio.Falconi]

if it is possible I wanted to resize (because it is too big) but for now I use the version that I have as you can see on this image



Now I'm correcting because I have an error on gets , the button of get is bad and I 'm searching a good solution

Mr. Silvio

Can you try this?

Code: Select all | Expand

aBmp: = FW_ReadImage( nil, cFile )
hNew: = FW_TransformBitmap( aBmp[ 1 ], NIL, 0.30 )
FW_SaveHBitmap( hNew, "new.bmp" )
PalBmpFree( aBmp )
DeleteObject( hNew )
 

[Silvio.Falconi]

I tried and made bmp with black background

Code: Select all | Expand

   cDir:= "temp\"
   

        IF !lIsDir( lower(cDir) )
            IF lMkDir( lower( cDir) )
                  ELSE
                 MsgAlert("Err "+cdir,"Verificare!")
             ENDIF
       ENDIF

      USE ELEMENTI ALIAS EL
      aElementi:=  CaricaElementi(.t.) // load array
     aBmpCombo:= Crea_BMP(aElementi,cFoldertemp,cFileBmp_Elementi)  // create Bmps for combobox

  


//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------//
Function Crea_Bmp(aElementi,cFolderTemp,cFileBmp_Elementi)
   Local n
   Local k
   Local atempBmp := {}
   Local cFile,cfileNew
   Local cCartella := cFoldertemp+"\"
    For n= 1 to Len(aElementi)
               cfile:=  Conversione(alltrim(aElementi [n][5]),cCartella ,cFileBmp_Elementi+alltrim(str(n)))
                        aadd(atempBmp ,cFile+".bmp")
          next
    return atempBmp
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------//
Function Conversione(cFile,Cfolder,cNewFile)
   Local aBmp   := FW_ReadImage( nil, cFile )
   Local hNew   := FW_TransformBitmap( aBmp[ 1 ], NIL, 0.30 )
                          FW_SaveHBitmap( hNew, cFolder+cNewFile+".bmp" )
PalBmpFree( aBmp )
DeleteObject( hNew )
return cNewFile

Nages,
If I make in this mode :

Code: Select all | Expand

Function Crea_Bmp(aElementi,cFolderTemp,cFileBmp_Elementi)
   Local n
   Local k
   Local atempBmp := {}
   Local cFile,cfileNew
   Local cCartella := cFoldertemp+"\"
    For n= 1 to Len(aElementi)
                 // to JPG +RESIZE
               cfile:=  Conversione(alltrim(aElementi [n][5]),;
                                    cCartella ,;
                                    cFileBmp_Elementi+alltrim(str(n)))
                 // to BMP
               cFileN := savetobmp(cfile)
                DELETEFILE(cFILE)

               aadd(atempBmp ,cFileN+".bmp")

          next
    return atempBmp

Function Conversione(cFile,Cfolder,cNewFile)
Local aBmp   := FW_ReadImage( nil, cFile )
Local hNew   := FW_TransformBitmap( aBmp[ 1 ], NIL, 0.30 )

//FW_SaveHBitmap( hNew, cFolder+cNewFile+".jpg",90 )
       FW_SaveImage(  hNew, cFolder+cNewFile+".jpg",90 )   // to JPG 
PalBmpFree( aBmp )
DeleteObject( hNew )
return cFolder+cNewFile+".jpg"

Function Savetobmp(cfile)
   Local  aBmp := FW_ReadImage( nil, cfile )[ 1 ]
  FW_SaveImage( aBmp, cfile+".Bmp",40 )
 Return  cfile

I have

For bitmaps FW_SaveHBitmap() saves with better quality than FW_SaveImage()
What you saw as black color is in fact Alpha color and FWH controls correctly paint the bitmaps treating the alpha color as transparent

Note: After some more tests, we will improve FW_SaveImage() in the next version.

Nages,

if I use

Code: Select all | Expand

For n= 1 to Len(aElementi)
cFileBmp:= Nages_BMP(alltrim(aElementi [n][5]),;
                                    cCartella ,;
                                    cFileBmp_Elementi+alltrim(str(n)))
                        aadd(atempBmp ,cFileBmp)
            next
return atempBmp

Function Nages_BMP(cFile,cFolder,cNewFile)
Local aBmp:= FW_ReadImage( nil, cFile )
Local hNew:= FW_TransformBitmap( aBmp[ 1 ], NIL, 0.30 )
Local cnew :=  cFolder+cNewFile+".bmp"
FW_SaveHBitmap( hNew,cnew )
PalBmpFree( aBmp )
DeleteObject( hNew )
return cnew

Then I can list on pc this



and trying the test I have




the images on the combo are grainy and unclear, they are ugly to look at and do not help the end user!!!!

perhaps on future someone must try to create a control combobox with pngs/jpg compatible!!!

[nageswaragunupudi]

I am seeing. The reason is that combobox is not painting alphabmps properly.
Need to improve this aspect. Takes time.
