pl_BGRAbitmap

 

It's the port of BGRAbitmap library to CodeTyphon Studio.

BGRAbitmap is a Cross-platform Graphical Library with transparency (alpha channel) and Direct pixel access for fast image processing.

Integrated drawing functions

  • draw/erase pixels
  • draw a line with or without antialiasing
  • floating point coordinates
  • floating point pen width
  • rectangle (frame or fill)
  • ellipse and polygons with antialiasing
  • spline computation (rounded curve)
  • simple fill (Floodfill) or progressive fill
  • color gradient rendering (linear, radial...)
  • round rectangles
  • texts with transparency
     

Image manipulation

Available filters (prefixed with Filter) :

  • Radial blur : non directional blur
  • Motion blur : directional blur
  • Custom blur : blur according to a mask
  • Median : computes the median of colors around each pixel, which softens corners
  • Pixelate : simplifies the image with rectangles of the same color
  • Smooth : soften whole image, complementary to Sharpen
  • Sharpen : makes contours more accute, complementary to Smooth
  • Contour : draws contours on a white background (like a pencil drawing)
  • Emboss : draws contours with shadow
  • EmbossHighlight : draws contours of a selection defined with grayscale
  • Grayscale : converts colors to grayscale with gamma correction
  • Normalize : uses whole range of color luminosity
  • Rotate : rotation of the image around a point
  • Sphere : distorts the image to make it look like projected on a sphere
  • Twirl : distorts the image with a twirl effect
  • Cylinder : distorts the image to make it look like projected on a cylinder
  • Plane : computes a high precision projection on a horizontal plane. This is quite slow.
  • SmartZoom3 : resizes the image x3 and detects borders, to have a useful zoom with ancient games sprites. Some functions are not prefixed with Filter, because they do not return a newly allocated image. They modify the image in-place :
  • VerticalFlip : flips the image vertically
  • HorizontalFlip : flips the image horizontally
  • Negative : inverse of colors
  • LinearNegative : inverse without gamma correction
  • SwapRedBlue : swap red and blue channels (to convert between BGRA and RGBA)
  • ConvertToLinearRGB : to convert from sRGB to RGB. Note the format used by BGRABitmap is sRGB when using dmDrawWithTransparency and RGB when using dmLinearBlend.
  • ConvertFromLinearRGB : convert from RGB to sRGB.
     

Images combination

Available modes are the following:

  • LinearBlend : simple superimposition without gamma correction (equivalent to dmFastBlend)
  • Transparent : superimposition with gamma correction
  • Multiply : multiplication of color values (with gamma correction)
  • LinearMultiply : multiplication of color values (without gamma correction)
  • Additive : addition of color values (with gamma correction)
  • LinearAdd : addition of color values (without gamma correction)
  • Difference : difference of color values (with gamma correction)
  • LinearDifference : difference of color values (without gamma correction)
  • Negation : makes common colors disappear (with gamma correction)
  • LinearNegation : makes common colors disappear (without gamma correction)
  • Reflect, Glow : for light effects
  • ColorBurn, ColorDodge, Overlay, Screen : misc. filters
  • Lighten : keeps the lightest color values
  • Darken : keeps the darkest color values
  • Xor : exclusive or of color values
