Thank you! Exactly what I needed!

I definitely agree with those suggestions.
How would I go about using GdipGraphicsClear manually for now? I tried looking for it on MSDN but only found the .NET equivalent. Would it just be DllCall("GdipGraphicsClear", "UInt", graph, "UInt", BackGroundColor) ?

Close, but the function must be qualified with the DLL name.
Btw, you may refer to MSDN: GDI+ Flat API. It lists and defines flat functions by category, linking to the corresponding C++ wrapper methods. (These are almost the same as their .NET counterparts.) I find the Windows SDK headers to be more useful (accurate and complete), though.

Ok, things I will bring out shortly (and posting this here just to have a written to do list) are:

• An example showing how to use matrices when drawing to change colours
• Edit Gdip_DrawImage to be able to leave out the source coordinates, but also resize. Also allow destination size to be omitted
• Create better functions for GdipCreateBitmapFromScan0, similar to the BRA functions
• Add GdipGraphicsClear
• Improve support for BRAs and give examples
• Give example of updating an area of a graphics context, without updating the whole thing

Hi,
What I'm trying to do is paint an pixel matrix onto the screen at specific locations...

I have 3x3 (for example) pixel matrices loaded into a variable in the following format:
0xFFFFFF0xFFFFFF0xFFFFFF0xFFFFFF0xFFFFFF0xFFFFFF0xFFFFFF0xFFFFFF0xFFFFFF

I wanted to try and paint them out onto the screen (and later specifically remove them)

At the very least, I wanted to work out how to paint an individual pixel of a specific color, onto a specific point on the screen.

Does anyone have any clues on this? Cheers

Thank you Tic, I am so grateful for your knowledge & assistance on that one. Looking forward. Have best day!

tic, I think SetImage() should return ErrorLevel. Currently it returns nothing. This came to my attention because I just spent 20 minutes trying to figure out why my script was leaking 256kb and a GDI object every time a certain routine was called. Turns out, STM_SETIMAGE returns a handle to a copy of the bitmap that was previously set to the static control (or NULL if none).

See MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... 85%29.aspx

Thanks for pointing this out tkoi. Any suggestions for how you would like the function to look? You're right it should have a return value

Also, some minor updates just released. Still need to work on the big stuff...

Please Help!

I'm printing... The code at the bottom is not working when xPos or yPos<>0. Where is my mistake? Or CreateRectF didn't working with xPos and yPos<>0???

CreateRectF creates a RectF structure, which contains four Floating-point numbers. DrawTextEx accepts LPRECT, a pointer to a RECT structure, which contains four integers. Zero is probably the only number which has the same binary representation in the two formats (floating-point and integer).

Use either of the following instead:
Btw, DrawTextEx is a GDI function, not GDI+. RectF and Rect are defined in the GDI+ headers and used by GDI+ functions. They define a position, width and height. RECT is used by GDI, and its fields have different meanings: it defines two points - the top-left and bottom-right.

Thanks!
hm... i'm finding a way to do text narrowing to width... How can i do this?
I supposed, that i can do it with DrawTextEx and print it in the rectangle area...
Am i wright?

Hi Tic, after I draw graphics objects, do you have any best practices recommended in terms of making sure all memory resources are cleared out?

Found a little error at v1.28.

Must be:


Would be functions for work with DrawImageFx and Effects classes added in future releases?

HI Tic May I pplease ask, the demonstrations you spoke of, about transforming bitmaps to some different solid color. May I please ask if there is anything yet you can show us? Have a wonderful day!

Small usefull function, that was not found in 1.28.
