Thread: TBItmap scanline

  1. #1

    TBItmap scanline

    from a simple test i did , i noticed that the scanline hasn't a sequential order address with the next scanline, i mean if i take the address of the last pixel in the first scanline and then increment the this address , i'll point to invalide memory location .

    now if i want to travels the whole TBitmap without need of getting the address of evry scanline , i mean just get the first address and then increment it to the end of bitmap pixles .


    Code:
    var
     p : ^integer;
    begin
     p := bmp.ScanLine[0];
     Pinteger(integer(p)+(bmp.width + 1) )^ := $FFFF0000; // access violation
     image1.Canvas.draw(0,0,bmp);

    There's not really a way you can do that

    You need to use canvas instead of scanline if you want to do that. I would suggest calculating the scanline offset manually instead of using the scanline property. Just be sure to check it's pixelFormat

    Really,
    Code:
    p:=pointer(longword(bmp.canvas)+desiredScanLine*bmp.width*4);
    Should do the trick. Is that REALLY so much harder than calling scanline? I doubt it.

    Oh, and I REALLY suggest using longword instead of integer on these types of operations, you never know when the sign bit is going to mess with you.

    honestly, the mere existance of the scanline method in tbitmap is probably why I stopped using it -- it makes image loads take longer setting up all those pointers.

    thanks , but i changed the direction
    i mean it was just my attempt to create a game from scratch (frame buffer) , instead of VCL i used API and CreateDIBSection (much easier) , but even i use assembly code for ploting pixels , i failed to make a smooth sprite movment .

    now i am using SDL

    hi again

    could some one correct me , i've tryed to make a procedure that plot a given pixel ( x ,y , color) into TBitmap class

    Code:
    procedure SetScanLinePixel(x,y,c : integer; var _bmp : TBitmap);
    type
      pRGBTripleArray = ^TRGBTripleArray;
      TRGBTripleArray = array[0..32768-1] of TRGBTriple;
    var
      raw : pRGBTripleArray;
    begin
      raw := _bmp.ScanLine[y];
      raw[x].rgbtBlue  := ( c and $ff);
      raw[x].rgbtGreen := ( c shl 8 ) and $ff;
      raw[x].rgbtRed:= ( c shl 16) and $ff; //error :constant expression violates subrange bounds 
    end;
    i don't understand the last compiler error ,

  6. #6
    Disable the compiler's range check error in project options or use {$R-} flag at top of your unit. Also change "c" to be Cardinal and change "shl" to "shr".

    @Lifepower : thanks , i also didn't swap the color
    so this is the correct code

    Code:
    procedure SetScanLinePixel(x,y: integer; c : cardinal; var _bmp : TBitmap);
    type
      pRGBTripleArray = ^TRGBTripleArray;
      TRGBTripleArray = array[0..32768-1] of TRGBTriple;
    var
      raw : pRGBTripleArray;
    begin
      raw := _bmp.ScanLine[y];
      raw[x].rgbtRed    :=  ( c and $ff);  
      raw[x].rgbtGreen :=   ( c shr 8 ) and $ff;
      raw[x].rgbtBlue   :=  ( c shr 16) and $ff;  
    end;

    I'd consider optimizing that down to a few less operations...

    Code:
    procedure SetScanLinePixel(x,y:integer; c:longword; var surface:TBitmap);
    type
    	pRGBTriple=^tRGBTriple;
    	pWord=^word;
    var
    	p:pRGBTriple;
    begin
    	{ this typecast makes X add by multiples of 3 }
    	p:=pRGBTriple(surface.scanline[y])+x;
    	word(p^.g):=c and $0000FFFF;
    	p^.r:=(c shr 16) and $000000FF;
    end;
    Probably why NOBODY uses 24 bit bitmap formats -- I'd REALLY recommend upping to RGBA/32 bit format even if you aren't going to use the alpha channel, just for the speed boost, lesser code, etc, etc... Just not having pixels end up breaking qword boundaries would be a huge speedup.

    Assuming built from RGBQuad instead of triple:
    Code:
    procedure SetScanLinePixel(x,y:integer; c:longword; var surface:TBitmap);
    type
    	pLongWord=^longWord;
    var
    	p:pLongWord;
    begin
    	p:=pLongWord(surface.scanline[y])+x;
    	p^:=c;
    end;
    3 byte per pixel graphics sucks... slow, painfully bad math... there's a reason you rarely see anyone use it.

    Mind you, the above works in FPC, no clue if delphi allows for that type of pointer math.

    Also, 24-bit pixel format is not supported on any of the today's video cards. It's only useful for storage because you save some 1/4th of disk space. I wouldn't worry about the speed implications of the multiplication, on the modern CPUs (including Intel Atom) it's pretty fast; you'll be more limited by memory bandwidth anyway.

    Mind you, the above works in FPC, no clue if delphi allows for that type of pointer math.
    The same code for Delphi would be:
    Code:
    // 24-bit version
    procedure SetScanLinePixel24(x, y: Integer; c: Cardinal; Image: TBitmap);
    var
     DestPtr: Pointer;
    begin
     DestPtr:= Pointer(NativeInt(Image.Scanline[y]) + x * 3);
     // you can replace Move() with two lines of code moving a word and then a byte manually.
     Move(c, DestPtr^, 3);
    end;
    
    // 32-bit version
    procedure SetScanLinePixel32(x, y: Integer; c: Cardinal; Image: TBitmap);
    begin
     // for FPC, replace "NativeInt" with "PtrInt".
     PLongWord(NativeInt(Image.Scanline[y]) + x * 4)^:= c;
    end;

  10. #10
    here is another procedure work with index instead of xy

    Code:
    procedure SetScanLineIndex32(indx:longword; c:cardinal; var image : Tbitmap);
    begin
           Plongword(longword(image.scanline[indx div image.Height]) + indx mod image.Width * 4)^ := c;
    end;
