| Title: Curved Text & RLE vector routines (part 2)
| Code Submitted By:
- andy_a
| This code snippet will run as is, but you'll need part 1 for creating and saving images in your own program. The new functions are:
makeData() - makes a text file of data statements that can be copy & pasted into your source code.
getImgData() - once you've pasted the data statements into your source, use this function to load into memory for further processing.
data2buffer() - like the above, but will re-create the image at 0, 90, 180, 270 degrees (user specified) in a Blitz image buffer. Use the Blitz image buffer just like you would use any loaded external image file.
dat2curv2buf() - reads the image in the data statements, wraps the image around a curve, and stores in a Blitz image buffer.
Simple usage demo included. |

| Code Submitted By:
- lattyware
 | Here is some code I was working on to create a Directory View - please use as much as you want, and adapt it likewise, but I do request some sort of small credit (You don't have to, but it would be nice) and If you use the code, do tell me, as I am interested in how it could be used. It could be set to read a cirtain are only and get a level selector, there are many possiblities.

| Title: Fast Image Information
| Code Submitted By:
- code_666
| At the moment, the only way to get an image's width/height is to first load it and then use the ImageWidth()/ImageHeight() commands. If you are using code that makes a decision whether to use an image based on this information, loading the whole image into memory - just to then discard it - is slow and wasteful, not to mention time consuming!
What my code does is to jump into the file stream and pull out the information directly and then calculate the width and the height - thus negating the need to load the whole file into memory first. This is a much faster way of doing things, especially with large images.
An added bonus is that the code does not determine the image's type based on the file extension you feed the function, it checks the file for it's signature and then acts accordingly. Room has been left in the logic for coders to add their own formats and/or formats not supported by this code. The code's logic differentiates between header and footer signatures, primarily for ease of use and speed.
Code is free to use - all I ask is for recognition in the program. |
