Drawing raw data to an Image / Draw object? [message #18557] Wed, 08 October 2008 07:42 Go to next message

Hi, I am starting to use the Magick++ library (http://www.imagemagick.org/Magick%2B%2B/) with U++. So far, I have been able to link it in and actually make a few simple calls using the library. However what I cannot figure out how to do is draw the results of these calls using U++'s systems.

I see that DrawImage has several methods that allow drawing lines, rectangles, etc. What I can't find is a simple way to set individual pixels of an image. The Magick::Image object I am using to manipulate images exposes an array of structures that provide R,G,B, and A values. What I need is a way to "copy" these values to a U++ Image or Draw object in order to render the resulting image in the U++ application.

How would I do this?

Awesome! Thank you... I really need to read the whole manual I guess.

This is what I've got so far. There's a pretty major problem though. The RGBA structure seems to only allow a very limited color depth, namely what can fit in 3 bytes. Magick++ (and really most image formats like JPG and PNG) allow many more colors than this makes possible. To get the conversion to work I have to use a rather crude instrument, quantumToByte(), which converts from Magick++'s 32 bit value to a byte. This makes high color images look just terrible... is there a way to use greater color depth with ImageBuffer?




byte quantumToByte(m::Quantum q)
{
	return q / 65535 * 255;
}


class Canvas : public Ctrl {
	Image drawImg;
	
public:
	typedef Canvas CLASSNAME;
	Canvas();
	void Paint(Draw& draw);
	void SetImage(m::Image& newimage, int x = 0, int y = 0, int zoom = 1);
};


/* Canvas::SetImage: Copies pixles for the current view to a new
	Upp::Image object to be rendered on the control. The zoom value
	is a magnification multiplier - 1 is for actual size pixels, 2 for
	double sized pixels, etc. */
void Canvas::SetImage(m::Image& image, int x, int y, int zoom)
{
	Rect rect = this->GetRect();
	int width = rect.Width() / zoom;
	int height = rect.Height() / zoom;
	int zx, zy;
	RGBA p;
	
	// Constrain the viewport to the max size of the actual image
	if(width > image.columns())
		width = image.columns();
	if(height > image.rows())
		height = image.rows();
	
	m::PixelPacket *pixel = image.getPixels(x, y, width, height);
	
	ImageBuffer ib(width * zoom, height * zoom);

	byte i = 0;
	float v;
	for(int y = 0; y < height; y++) {
		//RGBA *l = ib[y];
		i = 0;
		for(int x = 0; x < width; x++) {
			
			if(zoom == 1) {
				ib[y * zoom][x * zoom].a = 255;
				ib[y * zoom][x * zoom].r = quantumToByte(pixel->red);
				ib[y * zoom][x * zoom].g = quantumToByte(pixel->green);
				ib[y * zoom][x * zoom].b = quantumToByte(pixel->blue);
			} else {
				// This really should use some sort of ASM box routine
				for(int zx = x * zoom; zx < (x+1) * zoom; zx++) {
					for(int zy = y * zoom; zy < (y+1) * zoom; zy++) {
						//if(zy + y < height && zx + x < width) {
							//p = ib[zy + y][zx + x];
							ib[zy][zx].a = 255;
							ib[zy][zx].r = quantumToByte(pixel->red);
							ib[zy][zx].g = quantumToByte(pixel->green);
							ib[zy][zx].b = quantumToByte(pixel->blue);
						//}
					}
				}
			}
			
			// Go to the next pixel
			pixel++;
		}
	}
	
	Premultiply(ib);
	drawImg = ib;
}

void Canvas::Paint(Draw& draw)
{
	Rect rect = this->GetRect();
	draw.DrawRect(0, 0, rect.Width(), rect.Height(), Gray());
	draw.DrawImage(0, 0, drawImg);
}

As far as I know there is no Image support for greater the 32-bit depths, since that is the effective limit of consumer display equipment.

But I believe your problem is that the conversion is wrong. I think it should be:
byte quantumToByte(m::Quantum q)
{
    // Equivalent to: 
    // return (q * 255) / 65535);
    // or
    // return iscale(q, 255, 65535)
    return (q  >> 8);
}

For correctness I believe you should replace the 8 with '(QuantumDepth - 8 )', but that's really just a guess from the ducumentation.

Alternatively you can #define QuantumDepth to 8 yourself to tell the library to use 32-bit and avoid the conversion. If you're only planning on drawing to the screen this seems like a wise move to also reduce memory consumption.
