Bare Minimum GDIplus code to save different Image Types.

[Siekmanski]

Try PixelFormat32bppARGB, it's 32 bits per pixel, the stride is 4 times the width of the image.
So, there is no padding involved.

Be sure the raw image data in memory is valid, thus in 32 bit ARGB format.

[Siekmanski]

If it still doesn't work, I can write a simple example tomorrow, if you want?

[guga]

Tks, Marinus. If you have time, please, build a small example.

It´s still don´t working.

The goal is to convert to/from whatever image format is stored on a virtual memory buffer (after it collected the image (or pixel data from RT_BITMAP on this case) from the resource section. )


Note: I´m currently updating RosAsm for the next release and i´m fixing these kind of issues on the resources editor. Currently i implemented it to assemble/disassemble and debug SSE3, SSE4, upgraded the debugger, the disassembler and now i´m fixing some of the old resources features for the next release. Doing this i could then continue working on the google watermark remover more properly because i´ll then have the necessary tools to build SSE4 or SSE3 variations of algos if needed

[daydreamer]

one simple GDI+ question I have after I seen you can rotate images with a GDI+ function:does GDI+ have caps to load and save .ico files?,I want to save size of icons by load .ico file and rotate it as many times I need to have for example icons pointing at 4 or 8 directions,which also could be useful as cursors

[Siekmanski]

Hi guga,

Here is an example to get access to the pixels in VirtualMem and converts it in a Gdiplus Bitmap.
You can now save it in all the different Color and Image formats you want.

If I have time this week, I will write a routine that loads all Image formats from:

- Resource
- File
- Memory
- and raw pixels from virtual memory

[Siekmanski]

Hi Magnus,

As far as I know you can not save Icons with Gdiplus but, I wrote a program that uses Gdiplus with an ico header in front of a .PNG file.
It works perfect and creates very small Icons.

[TouEnMasm]

Icon and GDI plus
perhaps :

GpStatus WINGDIPAPI GdipCreateBitmapFromHICON(HICON hicon, GpBitmap** bitmap)
GpStatus WINGDIPAPI GdipCreateHICONFromBitmap(GpBitmap* bitmap, HICON* hbmReturn)

[guga]

Hi Marinus. Many tks

I´m looking at it right now :)

During this morning i succeeded to save it from the resources section, but i´m not sure if it will save it correctly. I´m take a look at yours and see if it´s easier then the way i found this morning. Your´s is, as usual, simpler and easier to follow

What i did was create a HBitmap from an image loaded in memory and then using GdipCreateBitmapFromHBITMAP to save it as bitmap and later export to other formats. Tooo overhead, i think Your´s seems to be way easier. I`ll give a try on it to see if it works for the 8 bpp  bitmap images as well.

What i did was:

Hi Marinus

Im testing the different output formats for bitmap. 2 of them seems not to be working

PIXELFORMAT_16BPPGRAYSCALE
and
PIXELFORMAT_1BPPINDEXED

Are not converting to gray or monochrome.


These other formats below i didn´t tested yet:
PIXELFORMAT_48BPPRGB
PIXELFORMAT_64BPPARGB
PIXELFORMAT_64BPPPARGB

All the rest seems to be working fine.

I tried again using your routine on the example, but it only works when i convert the 8bit image through mine routine GdipCreateBitmapFromBmpMem. I didn´t understood completely what is the math related to those conversions of different formats  to point to the start of the pixel data and not the start of a palette, for example (which seems to be the case when dealing with 8bpp or less right ?)

Below is what i´m currently doing to test all the routines :)



And the attached file is the output in  PIXELFORMAT_32BPPRGB


I´ll now try to export in png and later in jpg, heic and emf file.


One question...I know how to decode a webp file using libwebp, but how to make it work directly from gdiplus ?

I didn´t understood completely what is the math related to those conversions of different formats  to point to the start of the pixel data and not the start of a palette, for example (which seems to be the case when dealing with 8bpp or less right ?)

This is what I always do,
First load the image and convert it to 32 bit ARGB -> [ invoke      GdipBitmapLockBits,pImage,NULL,ImageLockModeRead,PixelFormat32bppARGB,offset GDIplusBitmapData ]

Processing the pixels if I need to.

Then save it in the color format I want with the help of GdiPlus. ( as I did in GDIplusMemory.zip )
Never did I use Pixelformats that has more than 8 bit per color element.

PIXELFORMAT_16BPPGRAYSCALE
I have to check the formats with more than 8 bit per color element.
I wonder how you project more than 256 pure gray colors to the screen.....

PIXELFORMAT_1BPPINDEXED works OK
Function: SaveColorIndexedImage -> set the Color_Count to 2

One question...I know how to decode a webp file using libwebp, but how to make it work directly from gdiplus ?

Don't know.
You could try to save the raw ARGB data to memory ( if libwebp allows you to do that ) and use GdipCreateBitmapFromScan0.

Ok, then you are using it on stream right ? From 2d_image_loader_saver.asm, i see that you locked the data from the resoruce3s section 1st after using global alloc to create a copy oif the image on memory.

This seems to work only for the data located in the RT_RCDATA type of the PE and not from the RT_BITMAP, for example , since RT_BITMAP, the BITMAPFILEHEADER is not present.

I´ll later try testing the routine from images stored with RT_RCDATA type, but after making it work for the RT_BITMAP ones.


But, why 2D_Image_loader_saver seems to work with GdipBitmapLockBits and GDiPlusMemory don´t ?

Can you do a small test ?  Create a file and insert a 8bpp bitmap (or even a lower quality ones) on RT_BITMAP (And not RT_RCDATA) and then copy the data onto a virtualloc buffer (so, without GlobalAlloc or GdipBitmapLockBits etc) and try to make it convert from the generated buffer in memory, so i can try see exactly what i´m doing wrong ?


It seems that there are 2 different kind of files that gdiplus can handle the images. One containing a full image file stored in RT_RCDATA and other containing incomplete bitmaps (without the header) from the RT_BITMAP. Maybe gdiplus handle those kind of files on a different way ?

Processing the pixels if I need to.

Then save it in the color format I want with the help of GdiPlus. ( as I did in GDIplusMemory.zip )
Never did I use Pixelformats that has more than 8 bit per color element.

Ok, but on GDIplusMemory you created the pixels manually and pointed to GdipCreateBitmapFromScan0 the start of the data in the buffer.

How do i located the correct pixels data when a image is not in 32bpp originally and contains a palette ? I mean, like the images i´m testing that does not have the BITMAPFILEHEADER and seems to contains a palette because they are encoded with 256 colors (or less)
So, how do i use the information from their BITMAPINFOHEADER to  locate the pixel data and correct them to 32 bits when needed ?

PIXELFORMAT_16BPPGRAYSCALE
I have to check the formats with more than 8 bit per color element.
I wonder how you project more than 256 pure gray colors to the screen.....

PIXELFORMAT_1BPPINDEXED works OK
Function: SaveColorIndexedImage -> set the Color_Count to 2

For the PIXELFORMAT_1BPPINDEXED this is how i did, but it didn´t exported the data. Same error on returning 2 in eax.

The routine i did to select how many colors to be exported are like this:

Code Select Expand


;PIXELFORMAT_1BPPINDEXED 030101

The only type of image that will be passed through SaveColorIndexedImage are these, right ?

PIXELFORMAT_4BPPINDEXED = 16 colors
PIXELFORMAT_1BPPINDEXED = 2 colors

I´ll later try testing the routine from images stored with RT_RCDATA type, but after making it work for the RT_BITMAP ones.

Streaming works exactly like loading from file. Therefore the resource must provide you with a pointer to the file content, with no extra manipulation by the OS. So you need the RCDATA format. Attention, the resource compiler does not complain if you call it RC_DATA or RT_RCDATA, but it will simply not run...!

Hi guga,

I´ll later try testing the routine from images stored with RT_RCDATA type, but after making it work for the RT_BITMAP ones.

I think you are making it more complicated than it should be.
Sure you can load it as RT_BITMAP without the BITMAPFILEHEADER but, it has 2 disadvantages.
- you bloat your executable with the uncompressed bitmap data.
- you need to write your own routines to convert it to the format you want.

It's easier to store a .JPG or .PNG in the resource section ( or in the .DATA section ) and let GdiPlus handle all the things for us.
I'm using my own Resource ID (INCBIN) to load all data types.

Can you do a small test ?  Create a file and insert a 8bpp bitmap (or even a lower quality ones) on RT_BITMAP (And not RT_RCDATA) and then copy the data onto a virtualloc buffer (so, without GlobalAlloc or GdipBitmapLockBits etc) and try to make it convert from the generated buffer in memory, so i can try see exactly what i´m doing wrong ?

As I mentioned in Reply #64,
If I have time this week, I will write a routine that loads all Image formats from:
- Resource
- File
- Memory
- and raw pixels from virtual memory

For the PIXELFORMAT_1BPPINDEXED this is how i did, but it didn´t exported the data. Same error on returning 2 in eax.

Hi JJ and Marinus many thanks

JJ. I saw that, but i´m currently working on RT_BITMAP and not RCDATA yet. The main problem is that bitmaps in this kind of resources have their main header stripped and it fools gdipus when the file is smaller then 24 bpp. making it not work from memory when using functions like: GdipCreateBitmapFromScan0 and after passing through GdipSaveImageToFile.

When we have no header (the BM tag) gdiplus appears only works correctly when the data is in a Dword chunk, so each dword contains 4 colors (R, G, B and Alpha). But for those weird bitmaps containing a palette without the header that points to the proper pixel offset, it fails to save. (A win32 error is generated internally).

One way to solve could be getting the data pixels from files 1, 4, 8 bpps and converting them to 32 pixels manually. before pointing to  GdipCreateBitmapFromScan0, but this is too overhead. I made a workaround for handling such files (at least, while Marinus don´t do the routines for us to test this weekend when he have more time)


While i was making this alternative way of loading these files, i made a small routine to point to the proper pixels data to see if what i was doing was correct. The function is like this:

Code Select Expand



;;
    GetPixelPosFromBmpNfoHdr
        This function retrieves the Pixel Address from the BITMAPINFOHEADER structure of a bitmap

    Parameters:
        pBmi - Pointer to a BITMAPINFOHEADER from where the position of the pixel data will be found.

    Return value:
        The function will return in eax the adress of the start of the pixel data on a Bitmap

    Remarks:
        This function is particulary usefull to locate the pixels address from bitmaps (1bpp, 4bpp, 256bp etc) located
        on the resoruces section stored as a &RT_BITMAP. This is because the bitmaps stored in this field does not contains
        the BITMAPFILEHEADER structure making it harder to directly manipulate the contents, or saving etc.
       
        If the file contains the BITMAPFILEHEADER structure, you need to add the size of it (14 bytes) to the returning value.

        The function works for:
        BITMAPINFOHEADER, BITMAPV2INFOHEADER, BITMAPV3INFOHEADER, BITMAPV4INFOHEADER, BITMAPV5INFOHEADER

equates used on the function above. (Note: I implemented the equates and structures up to BITMAPV5INFOHEADER, but on this function it´s not needed to add extra equates, since the used members of the structure (biSize, biClrUsed, biPlanes and biBitCount) are located at the same offset)

Sources to load bitmap images from resource, from file and from the .data segment.
Copy bitmap data to memory so, you can manipulate the pixels and save it later in the format or type you want.
