Bitmap / Image Manipulation Effects / Methods?
Apr 18, 2012
Back when I used to use an 8 bit home computer I dabbled in machine code with an old version of BASIC which allowed you to POKE values into memory and then call the 1st memory location to execute that code. I used the equivalent HEX values for the processor which ran a series of ROR ( ROtate Right ) or ROL ( ROtate Left )commands through the carry bit as each line of the bitmap consisted of a series of bytes which were an 8 bit BYTE followed by the next BYTE in memory. The effects that I manage to create "in assembly language" as it were:
Scroll leftScroll right By manipulating full bytes in memory I created routines to:Flip the image horizontallyFlip the image verticallyTurn the image upside down Anyway, if you were to try this with the BASIC equivalent to GET and SET pixels, obviously the BASIC was a LOT slower. I am also interested in creating animated bitmaps from one or two images such as the following:Page turn effect.Sliding-in of an image in any direction.Ripple effect.Scratch effect.

I think that changing from WinForms to WPF just because the blur effect is easier to do in WPF is the stupiest thing i can do right now it took me time to understand how the windows form application works i dont even how change the source of an image in WPF so here we are again. how to blur a speciefied image using CODE ONLY ?
See what im trying to do:
1. Imagine that you turn on your pc. takes some time to load.
2. Finally for the first time you are on the desktop.
3. Before you do something after every icon is loaded my program
takes a picture of the desktop and blurs it.
4. then it runs fullscreen showing the desktop behind as blurred and
not giving you access to the desktop.
5. a login/register border pops up
6. if you login the program closes if you dont it stays there
waiting for you to login or register.
I wont use it that way im planning to do it on the startup of my program only blur the window not the screen (i mean the content of my window) untill you login or register then it clears again. What i need to learn:
1. How to take a screenshot of my program (only yhe content of the window) [Progress: 1% (cause i know how to take a screenshot of the desktop)]
2. How to blur that image [Progress: 100%]
No need for third party programs or dlls i mean isnt there a default function in vb.net the stupiest way to do it?

I need to overlay the text, a movie or bitmap over a video.It would be possible to use VMR9 filters, but at playing of a wide video, for limits of a black square, it is impossible to overlay in out of video square range.

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.

i have an assignemnt in my visual basic express 2008 class, were i have to type in an image name, like paris.jpeg,and automatically manipulate the file to be called paris-steg.png. Once this happens i click the manipulate image button and the image should be altered so that paris-steg.png has a message hidden in it. Then i have to decode that message. At this point im having troubel getting the file name to automatically appear as paris-steg.jpeg, and you will proabbly see why with my code. I need to know how to do this. The way i have it, i basiaclly add -steg.png onto the text typed into the text box, this doesnt work when the user types in paris.jpeg as it comes out as paris.jpeg-steg.png. heres the instructiosn and my code
(6) When the text file does not exist, alert the user with a message box and do not do any further processing.
(6) When the image file does not exist, alert the user with a message box and do not do any further processing.

In this program you should read text from a file one character at a time instead of one line at a time. If <tt>sr</tt> is an IO.StreamReader, then <tt>sr.Read()</tt> will return an integer that is the value of the next character in the file. Use <tt>Read</tt> instead of <tt>ReadLine</tt> in this program.You can check whether a file exists by using the code <tt>IO.File.Exists(filename )</tt> . The function will return a Boolean value (True if the file exists but False if not).
You can check whether a string ends with a specified pattern by using the <tt>EndsWidth(pattern )</tt> function. For example, if <tt>s</tt> is a String, then <tt>s.EndsWidth(".txt")</tt> will return a Boolean value (True if <tt>s</tt> ends with the pattern but False otherwise).In a string, <tt>IndexOf(pattern )</tt> gives the first position where the pattern exists, but <tt>LastIndexOf</tt> gives the very last position where the pattern exists.The code <tt>s = Chr(i)</tt> converts the Integer <tt>i</tt> into a character and assigns the character to the string <tt>s</tt> .

this topic has been touched multiple times on Stack Overflow, but my search still did not give me an answer.
I'm looking for a SIMPLE and easy to use, very basic, image editing library. All I need to do is check the size of jpeg and png files and rotate them by multiples of 90°.I can develop my app in VB.NET or preferably VB5 and I'm not using any other library.
I tried the Advanced Image Library (based on Free Image Library), but I can't get the dll to correctly register and I'm afraid that I will also have problems when distributing the application.Is there something simpler? If it's not free it's fine, as long as the cost is reasonable.

I need to read a bitmap generated with paint or similar programs and interpert the picture to detect straight lines of black, larger squares in red and smaller squares of yellow, green or red. Which one of the Visual Basic environments are is best suited for this? WPF or Forms or..The lines represent walls and for start we have square objects as obsticles. I would like to create a maze and allow a dot to travel between obstacles leaving a trace of pixels and not hit any of the objects untill it exits.
I like to write the logic for it but I do not know how would I read a 500x500 pixel picture and decode the colors of each pixel. I like to assign a byte for each pixel's color (256color) but only use 4 bits of it to for start.
I am doing this as hobby. So please forgive me because I should only look at your answers during my free times.It will take some time before I could see it and mark your work as Helpful or Answer.

I knew everything I needed to save an image, so I type in my code, and yet another error pops up. Here's the bit of code:

I am trying to convert from a text file to an image(bitmap) file.
For example, test.txt: 01 23 34 56 78 90
[Code]....
The first step will be reading the data, so I created some VB codes:
Dim openFileDialog1 As New OpenFileDialog()
openFileDialog1.Filter = "Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt"
openFileDialog1.Title = "Select a text File"
' Show the Dialog.
' If the user clicked OK in the dialog and ' an image file was selected, open it.
If openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
' Open file.
[Code]...
The second step will be converting the data to some data format which can be used in a bitmap image. This part is making me confused. Some codes I made is listed below:

I am attempting to create a class library that can either search a bitmap to determine whether or not it contains an exact match to a second bitmap or if it contains a partial match. Currently it only returns true if i search the image for itself or if the sensitivity is below around 15%, even when i search with an image that i know should return true. The images I am using are simply a screenshot saved in paint and a section of that first screenshot also saved in paint. Here is my current .dll coding for VB 2008 Express

I am trying to get a small bitmap from a larger image. something like
Dim bmp As New Bitmap(PictureBox2.Image)
However this just gets the entire picture not just a portion of it, I would like to do something like this where I can specify the starting and stoping points
Dim bmp As New Bitmap(PictureBox2.Image, StartX, StartY, EndX, EndY)
I would also like to take these smaller images and paste them into a single larger image. Is there any way to paste it in starting a a certain point. Such as
paste bmp into Picture1 (StartX, StartY)

Why does "OPTION STRICT ON" complain about casting an Image to Bitmap. When CTYPE is not used but not the other way around?
Dim img As Image = Image.FromFile(My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.MyPictures & "ExampleFile.jpg")
'This is okay with OPTION STRICT ON.>>
Dim bmp As Bitmap = CType(img, Bitmap)
'OPTION STRICT ON allows this but why? >>
PictureBox1.BackgroundImage = bmp
'Why not? >>
PictureBox1.BackgroundImage = CType(bmp, Image)

In my user control you can load an image into a Bitmap type, it then displays the image onto the usercontrol. However, it works fine with .gif format images, but when i use .png it seems to make the image bigger than what it is.

The Vb.Net application creates a bitmap from scratch and either converts to a tiff or sends it to a printer. In both cases, the quality of the image (in this case the font) is not good at all. The sample code listed below creates the graphics object that I use to write to the image.
