Bitmap Drawing #2 - Make Something Identical To A Map-editor For A Game?
Feb 7, 2010
I don't want to spam the forum with questions, so I'll just ask a two questions I can't figure out in one thread since they all involve a specific task I'm trying to create I'm trying to make something identical to a map-editor for a game. Right now I'm just learning the basic functions of drawing on bitmaps. I'll show you what I got right now and then tell you what I'm trying to achieve:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim mySource As Rectangle
Dim myDestination As Rectangle
[code]....
So my map size is 1000x1000. When I press the button, it creates the map, draws 250 tiles(pixels) in the top left corner of the map, and then displays it on my form. Now to my questions: How can I zoom into certain X, Y positions on the map? After I zoom into the map, how can I call a function when I highlight a tile(pixel), and then another function when I click on a certain tile(pixel)?

I'm trying to use a ToolTip directly to a Bitmap Object (System.Drawing.Bitmap), aparently I can't do this because Bitmap isnt a Windows Control.

I need to write a code to find identical adjacent pixels in a bitmap image. It should work as the 'magical wand' in Photoshop. My images are always black and white (white background with car parts drawed in black). Given the x,y coordinate for a single black pixel in the whole image, the code should find (and paint with another color, say red) all other black pixels that are linked to that one, and so on, until all linked black points will be painted in red.

Given the x,y coordinate for a single black pixel in the whole image, the code should find (and paint with another color, say red) all other black pixels that are linked to that one, and so on, until all linked black points will be painted in red.This way, suppose that I have an image with 4 car parts drawed, then if I give the x,y coordinate of a black pixel, just THAT part to whose the black pixel belongs to should be painted in red. All other parts will remain black. Does it make sense?At the end, there are two pictures (before and after) to help understanding what I need to do to the images.I tried a simple 8-pixel adjacent approach for every pixel (starting on initial coordinate) but it turns out into a very stupid and endless looping algorhitm.
Code:
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.Drawing.Drawing2D
Imports System.Windows.Forms

With this line...
If PictureBox1.Image = My.Resources._2star Then
I get this error: Operator '=' is not defined for types 'System.Drawing.Image' and 'System.Drawing.Bitmap'.Is there another way to say = with images?

I am having trouble overwriting an existing bitmap. I want to draw to a specified bitmap (union.bmp) even though this bitmap already exists. I keep getting a generic GDI+ error on the line "image.Save("C:/union.bmp")".

I need to convert a Drawing.Bitmap to 4 bit grayscale. Is there any way to accomplish this? I've tried using Bitmap.Clone but I only get the usual infamous "Out of memory" exception. Would this be grayscale even if it managed to convert to 4 bit?

I', working on a program where there are several projects within a solution. The solution contains a forms application, a couple of class libraries, and a public interface.I'm running into a strange problem where I can access the system.drawing.bitmap namespace from the main form and from one of the class libraries, but when I try to access it from the other class library or the interface, it tells me it is not defined. I've tried importing it, and calling it directly with no luck.

I'm taking a screenshot as a System.Drawing.Bitmap and trying to send it through a network as a byte array.If I take the original screenshot and simply save it to disk, it's about 200Kb.Instead I'm saving it to a memorystream so I can write that back to a Byte Array and it's coming out over 6Mb.

I have a VB.NET Windows Forms app with a logo image on the form as a System.Drawing.Bitmap inside a PictureBox.I used the Visual Studio Designer to add the logo .bmp image so I don't currently have any VB code doing anything with it.I'd like to make the current logo a clickable object/button so when I click on it a file browser dialog opens and I can select a new image to replace the current image.The current image is a local resource and is set in a PictureBox as a System.Drawing.Bitmap.How would I replace that System.Drawing.Bitmap with a file selected from the file browser dialog?

Essentially I have a half text/half graphical tile game that has a level designer. I have several sets of tiles, all of which are bunched together in one file. I'd like to read a certain 32x32 square of said bitmap, and display only that portion on specified area of the screen. I know GDI+ enough to get the display going, so I just need help with reading the specified portion of the image from the bitmap.

Iv been making a Tron game for the past week and im stuck.What is the best way to draw the trail behind the "bike".
i have two arrays called StartPoint() and Endpoint(). Both of the arrays are constantly updated with every change of direction.
I need the trail to follow the bike and once the player changes direction, it needs to stop and start in the new direction.

I'm writing a game in VB 2005 Express and at the moment it involves using the drawimage method to first draw a background and then various sprites onto my form every time a timer ticks. It's all double buffered so there's no flicker or anything but it just goes very slowly, how to speed it up. I've come across the term blitting (bitblt), which seems like it would be useful, but haven't been able to work out exactly what it is, whether it can be used in this version of vb, how to use it etc.
Here's my code (or at least an approximation of the relevant bits seeing as the whole thing is rather long):
Public Class Form1
Dim BackgroundImg as Image 'plus all of my sprite images declared
Dim Mybuffer As BufferedGraphics
Dim MyContext As BufferedGraphicsContext
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

And is it even possible to do a vb6 style implementation? As I see it, this will clone the picture image while the vb6 implementation will just read directly off the image? and is lockbits like getdibits? I need to process 60 bitmap images of about 200pix by 200pix every second.
