Take a GIF.
My GIF for example:
http://reelix.googlepages.com/ReeFlame.gif[^]
Look at in in the browser... Looks good, hey? (Well, my opinion anyways)
Save it to Windows (I can only test with XP - Not sure if it does it in Vista)
Open it in Windows Default Image Viewer.
Laaaaaaggg....
Any reason for this?
Was looking into C# GDI+ GIF Animation, and this... Issue arose...
Any ideas, anyone?

Looks the same to me either way. Also animating at the same speed.

Found it does the same in IE (Seems to be the same Bug) - Sure you're not an IE Fan? :p
Try the same GIF in FireFox.
Havn't tried Opera Yet...

P.S: If anyone is interested... I suceeded with my C# GDI+ GIF Animation:

Like many people these days I use multiple browsers. I have checked the GIF file in IE Opera and Safari and there is no lag I can detect visually.

I'll take your word for it instead. I am not a big fan of past releases of Firefox. I will take a look at the next generation of Firefox when it is released. I have read an article about how they optimized image cache and greatly improved memory management. But for now I am happy with IE and Opera.
Best Wishes.

Hi all,
I have created a double buffering drawing method,the code as below:
BufferedGraphicsContext CurrentContext = BufferedGraphicsManager.Current;
BufferedGraphics bg = CurrentContext.Allocate(this.CreateGraphics(), this.ClientRectangle);
bg.Graphics.TextRenderingHint = TextRenderingHint.AntiAlias;
bg.Graphics.Clear(this.BackColor);
this.draw(bg.Graphics)
bg.Render();
bg.Dispose();
My question is how can i draw the graphic to bitmat or any type of picture?
Note: This drawing method is build in custom user control
thanks in advance

Hello there,
I have already used DirectX.Capture to preview what my web cam sees on a panel in my form.
Now I need to somehow transmit this to a client through the network. All I now about
network programming, is that I can only send byte arrays to the client. Any ideas on how
I will get that?

Then you need to send arrays of bytes which represent the pixels in the frames of video.
If your available bandwidth isn't able to handle the number of bytes-per-second required
to transmit the given video dimensions and frame rate, then you'll need to compress the video
somehow. The Video Compression Manager[^] or the Windows Media Format SDK[^] are two
possible solutions for compressing/decompressing video. There's also lots of 3rd party video
codecs.

How to check in C# if directx is installed and which version of it?
|
|
|
|
|
By checking in the registry, there are entries for DirectX version, etc.

As the subject says I'm looking for an algorithm to scan an image and extract the rectagles that have the same pixel color.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
first of all we have a "math and algo" forum, you should ask there.
I don't know of any official algorithm that matches your request, but it sounds fairly
simple to me; here is some pseudo-code:
rectCollection=empty;
foreach (point P in image and not in rectCollection) {
w=number of identically colored points to the right of P
h=number of identically colored points below P
check rectangle at P with size (w,h) has homogeneous color
if so, add to rectCollection
if not, reduce w and or h based on the position of the first non-matching point
}
done!

This could work Luc, thank you, but it looks very inefficient. I have to do this at least twice every second.

Hi,
there may be better algorithms, it probably depends on the kind of image you are dealing with.
what is the image size?
make sure you use pointers, don't rely on Bitmap.GetPixel, that is way too slow.
are the consecutive images similar?
do the rectangles found have a good chance of being there again on the next image?
if so, make use of it!
you do realize there is no single solution to your problem? if you have
AA
AB
then you can describe it as:
1) A A
A B
2) AAA
A B
3) A A
A
A B
It might help if you describe the intended application a bit...

My friend and I were having an argument about the drawing speed of GDI+. First he presented the flicker problem, but I fixed that with
SetStyle(ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer | ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint | ControlStyles.UserPaint, true);
then, after awhile, he presented the following:
<br />
using System;<br />
using System.Drawing;<br />
using System.Drawing.Imaging;<br />
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;<br />
using System.Windows.Forms;<br />
<br />
namespace SlowGdi {<br />
public partial class SlowGdiForm : Form {<br />
<br />
private Random RandomSource = new Random();<br />
<br />
private int[] RandomPixels = new int[512 * 512];<br />
<br />
private Bitmap RandomBitmap = new Bitmap(512, 512);<br />
<br />
public SlowGdiForm()<br />
{<br />
InitializeComponent();<br />
this.Disposed += (sender, e) => this.RandomBitmap.Dispose();<br />
Application.Idle += (sender, e) => this.Invalidate();<br />
}<br />
<br />
private void SlowGdiForm_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
for (int i = 0; i < RandomPixels.Length; i++) {<br />
this.RandomPixels[i] = this.RandomSource.Next();<br />
}<br />
var Locked = this.RandomBitmap.LockBits(new Rectangle(0, 0, 512, 512), ImageLockMode.WriteOnly, PixelFormat.Format32bppRgb);<br />
Marshal.Copy(this.RandomPixels, 0, Locked.Scan0, 512 * 512);<br />
this.RandomBitmap.UnlockBits(Locked);<br />
e.Graphics.DrawImage(this.RandomBitmap, 0, 0, 512, 512);
}<br />
<br />
private void SlowGdiForm_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
SetStyle(ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer | ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint | ControlStyles.UserPaint, true);<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
This looks all cool, but do a quick Ctrl+Alt+Delete, and notice the 100% Processor Usage (50% on Dual Core)
Anyone have any idea on how to optimise the code to NOT annihilate the processor?
Thanks

P.S: Thread.Sleep(1); helps abit, but not all that much...
P.P.S: Apparently it works perfectly on Vista...

it doesn't matter if you are doing GDI or OpenGL, this will run full out on any machine you are "allowed" to have full access to the CPU. You don't force a redraw on idle you force a redraw on vertical retrace or other unless you do want all the CPU.

HI ,
i want to do a project on graphics as part of my engineering course .
i have decided to do a project other than game ..i have to use all the basic algorithms and some of the in built functions that are available in turbo C ... please suggest me different topics on which i can do a project .. the code shoudnt exceed 900 lines ...
i have plans to do animation(changing the face with user interface) , simulating towers of hanoii problem ,etc ..suggest me better ideas/topics to do the same
thanks

Hello..
I have a problem about shading. Actually, I want to apply a phong shading to the 3d object.Here is the code:
#include "Global.h"<br />
#include "lightComponent.h"<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
void setOrthographicProjection() <br />

glScalef(1, -1, 1);<br />
glTranslatef(0, -screen_height, 0);<br />
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);<br />
} <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
void resetPerspectiveProjection() <br />

}<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
void renderBitmapString(float x, float y, void *font,char *string)<br />
{<br />
char *c;<br />
<br />
glRasterPos2f(x, y);<br />
for (c=string; *c != '\0'; c++) {<br />
glutBitmapCharacter(font, *c);<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
void Myinit(void) <br />
{<br />
glClearColor (0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0);<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

{<br />

<br />
<br />
if ( data_type == 1 )<br />

}<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
void processMenuEvents(int option) <br />
{<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
void create_Menu() <br />
{<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
int main(int argc, char **argv)<br />
{<br />
glutInit(&argc, argv); <br />
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_DOUBLE | GLUT_RGB);<br />
glutInitWindowSize(screen_width,screen_height);<br />
glutInitWindowPosition(0,0);<br />
glutCreateWindow("View Object");<br />
glutDisplayFunc(display);<br />

glutReshapeFunc (resize);<br />
create_Menu();<br />
Myinit();<br />
glutMainLoop();<br />
<br />
return(0); <br />
<br />
}<br />
But, it doesn't work. Can somebody fix my code?

It looks like you're just using glutBitmapCharacter to display text? I'm not sure you can get shading to work on a bitmap. What were you expecting to see and what did you actually see? This would help diagnose your problem because I don't think anyone is going to take the time to compile your program and try to reproduce it.
Doing my part to piss off the religious right.

Tim is correct, you cannot "illuminate" or shade a bitmap text. You can convert the bitmap to a texture, use a texture font drawing routine and it will be illuminated, or you can use stroke fonts. Take a look at the font demo here: http://www.opengl.org/resources/code/samples/glut_examples/examples/examples.html[^]
or here: http://nehe.gamedev.net/lesson.asp?index=03[^]
