hi there coders this is George, i've been working on a payroll project and i'm finding difficulty in my c++ console graphics. any one with any idea how to go about it?
you know a class for console graphics or guidelines on how to go about it. i've been seeing some documentation on gotoxy(int x, int y) but i really do not know how to use it.
*
i'm also thinking about how to control my keyboard input. you know stopping the keyboard from appearing on the console and display something simultaneously like ( password -> ********)
*
i've also been seeing some console that are able to create mouse buttons, how do they do that .

Here is an article which designed a class to help you write console apps: Console Enhancements[^]

In .NET, you can use the Console.ReadKey() method to get a key but not send output to the screen. Here is the MSDN documentation for ReadKey()[^]
So you could write something like this to output "****" to the screen while the user enters the password:
ConsoleKeyInfo keyPress;
keyPress = Console::ReadKey(true);
Console::Write("*");

Traditionally, you'd use a Curses library (so named because of what you'll spend most of your time doing once you get going with it...)
I've never tried using one on Windows before, but a quick search turns up this: http://pdcurses.sourceforge.net/[^]
Worth a look, maybe...

How to change specific color with some else color in image.
|
|
|
|
|
read my image processing articles. Iterate over the pixels, and when you find one of the source color, change it to the target color.
OR - you can use an ImageAttributes instance to draw an image and set a color matrix to change the color in one go, I believe.

You don't mention the format of your image. In some formats the color data is in each pixel, in others the pixels are an index into a color table. It makes a difference as to which part you search. If the color is in the pixels, unless your image is artificially generated or size of the pixels in color value is small, you're not likely to get many exact matches.
If you don't have the data, you're just another a**hole with an opinion.

Hi,
I need to write a vc++ program to find the Codec Name of any DirecShow suppoting format video. How can i do that using directshow interfaces and apis?
Apart from DirectShow is there any other api of library which we can use for that.
Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
i make one application in which i read the image file of type *.lbl using Bitmap.FromFile(filepath) at that time it will give me an error of "Out of memory".
I know Bitmap supports only BMP ,GIF,JPEG ,PNG ,TIFF. So can any one suggest me what should i do read my own extension (*.lbl) file using Bitmap or any other methode ????
Thanks in advance..

Rana Krishnraj,
Well, using the NET Framework class is clearly not going to work because it expects to see a specific, known data format.
If you have your own image file format, (and, of course, we don't know anything about it), you could:
(1) Convert it to a convenient format that your NET Framework bitmap class instance will recognize. I would suggest reading up on the native Win32 Bitmap[^] data structure, and create a valid bitmap (actually, a , DIB, Device Independent Bitmap[^]) in memory.
(2) Write a custom file reader that adequately processes your custom file format.
If you don't know anything about the Bitmap data structure, you should read: Bitmap Storage MSDN[^], or, Storing an Image MSDN[^]
As Feng Yuan says: "The good thing about a DIB is that its storage is managed by the application, so the application can directly access its color table and pixel array, but GDI would not lend a hand to you in setting up a DIB."

I have series of images very similar to this example image:
http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/2483/exampleep8.gif[^]
As you can see there's empty white space around the text and lines. How can I remove this empty space and crop the image? The red line shows where I want to crop it.
I'm a newbie when it comes to Drawing/GDI+, I appreciate any help.

Problem solved here's the code:
Bitmap b = new Bitmap(filename);
Rectangle r = new Rectangle();
int topLeft = b.Width, topRight = 0, topUpper = b.Height, topBottom = 0;
string whitePixel = "ffffffff";
for (int y = 1; y < b.Height; y++)
{
for (int x = 1; x < b.Width; x++)
{
if (b.GetPixel(x, y).Name != whitePixel)
{
if (x < topLeft)
topLeft = x;
if (x > topRight)
topRight = x;
if (y < topUpper)
topUpper = y;
if (y > topBottom)
topBottom = y;
}
}
}
r.Location = new Point(topLeft-1, topUpper-1);
r.Size = new Size((topRight - topLeft)+1, (topBottom - topUpper)+1);
Bitmap b2 = b.Clone(r, b.PixelFormat);
b2.Save(newfilename, ImageFormat.Gif);

Hi, I have a program that is supposed to blur bitmaps in a Gaussian type fashion.
However, all this does is change the light greys to a yellow-ey colour.
Here is some code:
Functions:
void set_pixel(int x,int y, RGBTRIPLE colour){
image[(bmp.biHeight-1-y)*bmp.biWidth+x] = colour;
}
void get_pixel(int x, int y, RGBTRIPLE colour){
colour = image[(bmp.biHeight-1-y)*bmp.biWidth+x];
}
void avg(RGBTRIPLE colour[], RGBTRIPLE merge, int size) {
for(int i=0; i<size; i++)="" {<br="" mode="hold" /> merge.rgbtBlue += colour[i].rgbtBlue;
merge.rgbtGreen += colour[i].rgbtGreen;
merge.rgbtRed += colour[i].rgbtRed;
}
merge.rgbtBlue = merge.rgbtBlue / size;
merge.rgbtGreen= merge.rgbtGreen / size;
merge.rgbtRed = merge.rgbtRed / size;
}
Implementation:
for(int y = 0; y < bmp.biHeight; y=y+3){
for(int x = 0; x <bmp.biwidth; x="x+3){<br=""" mode="hold" /> for(int i = 0; i < 9; i++){
int yp=0, xp=0;
get_pixel(x+xp,y+yp,blank[i]);
if(xp<3)
xp++;
else{
xp = 0;
yp++;
}
}
avg(blank, Merge, 9);
set_pixel(x,y,Merge);
}}
Any help you can give would be much appreciated. Thanks

looks messy. My image processing articles here on code project have a Gaussian blur in them.

You seem to have had a problem when pasting your code but unless it didn't make it, I don't see where Merge gets zeroed out between calls to avg().
If you don't have the data, you're just another a**hole with an opinion.

I hadn't put the zeroing of Merge in :S, thanks for pointing that out.
However, this still doesn't solve the problem.
I have also tried zeroing blank between calls of avg(). This didn't help either.
and Christian, I'm checking out your tutorials now, unfortunately I will have to translate them into C++ but I hope it will help.
EDIT: Aha!
I have just done something I realised I should have done before. I tried to create random colours for each pixel, in a noise type function without writing before blurring. I have set these up into 2 seperate projects and now the ouput is a grey screen with some black dots going in lines across the screen :S
Here's a picture of what the output is:

Ah, I think I see it now. In avg(), Merge is of type RGBTRIPLE. Each color element is an unsigned char which limits its value to 0 to 255. You're adding nine elements into each color value before you take the average. On average, you've overflowed it after the second addition and wrapped around. You need to use a temporary accumulator that's at least an unsigned short but hey, go wild and make it an unsigned int.  Then you're covered if you use a bigger kernel than 3x3.
If you don't have the data, you're just another a**hole with an opinion.

Thanks for the advice  .
I used an unsigned int for red green and blue. This still didn't solve the problem, however as it still seems too organised and is tritone. :S
Sorry my code is so messed up.

I declared yp and xp as int when I had already declared them as long. This was reverting them to 0 each time.
Trouble is, get_pixel() and set_pixel() give unhandled exceptions when they use anything other than x and y. I've tried "x=x+xp" but it still happens. Hmm....
I'm stumped.

Ok, a few more rookie gotchas. RGBTRIPLE is a struct. In get_pixel() and clear_pixel(), you want to operate on the pixel "colour" that you pass in. However, the way you've written it, you're working on a copy so you're changing nothing. You need to declare it as a pointer or a reference, RGBTRIPLE* pColour or RGBTRIPLE& colour. If you do it as a reference, you don't need to change the code inside the functions to pointer notation. The same thing applies to merge in avg(), you're working on a copy inside the function the passed parameter doesn't change.
I also don't think you're applying the kernel to your image properly. I'm not up on gaussian off the top of my head but you need to apply it to every pixel and its immediate neighbors so bumping the index of the loops by 3 each pass doesn't do it. Usually, applying a kernel you need a source image and then build a spearate destination image, otherwise you'd be using pixels you've already changed as you progress through.
If you don't have the data, you're just another a**hole with an opinion.

I've changed the code as you suggested, with a source and destination file. But I get in the output file is a black image with some very dark green lines going vertically across. :
