Reducing The Number Of Colors In An Image?
Dec 23, 2011
In the process of creating an Icon object, I need to reduce the numbers of colors in an image from thousands down to 256 or less. I do this by "chromatizing" the RGB values - counting the colors - then re-iterating the process with heavier "chromatization" until the number of colors is reduced to my requirement.
I searched these forums and google on this subject to find out more - but I found that I alone call this process "chromatization" it seems. So I was hoping someone could help me out with the correct terminology.
Specifically, I want to use the correct terminology on my UI buttons (at present I have a button labeled [Chromatize] . .) and I am curious as to whether it would be good practice to "chromatize" the Green most heavily, the Red more moderately, and the Blue least . . . or just "chromatize" them all equally which is what I have been doing

I'd like to check for all colors in an image. I've already came up with this:
Code:
Dim lst As New List(Of Color)
Dim img As Bitmap = System.Drawing.Bitmap.FromFile("C:image.jpg")
For x = 0 To img.Width - 1
[code]....
Unfortunately this needs to sweep through all the pixels, and it's EXTREMELY slow... method to get all colors in an image without sweeping through all pixels?

I understand the basics of using VB.NET, what I don't understand is what I need to tell the computer to do. I'm supposed to create a subprogram to calculate the greatest common factor and another subprogram to reduce the fraction from the answers retrieved from the first subprogram. My teacher said something about using Mod to calculate it, and also attempted and failed to explain ByVal and ByRef parameters. I don't even know where to begin other than the parameters I have for each, and even those have a high chance of being completely wrong.[code]

I am currently working on an asp.net web page with a GridView displaying a table from a database.This GridView has 4 DropDownLists that will be used to filter the data shown on the GridView. When the page loads 4 Sub routines are run, each one connecting to the database with a select statement to fill the DropDownList with relevant filter headings.
Initially, I had one connection with a loop that populated all of the drop downs but these contained duplicates. I then split the filling of each DDL so that the select statements could contain DISTINCT. I would like (and am sure there is a way here) to be able to populate all of the DDLs with data from one connection.
Code for one connection:
Protected Sub FillDepDDL()
Dim conn As New SqlConnection()
conn.ConnectionString =
[code]....
The other 3 column names: FirstName > DDLFN, LastName > DDLLN, Wage > DDLWag.This is only a test DB and the princibles learned here will be applied to a larger live project.

How would you go about reducing the code for this but still allowing it to work the way it is now
Dim updatelesson As String = cmbChange.SelectedIndex
Dim chosenlesson As String = cmbSession.SelectedIndex
Dim changed As String = lstNames.SelectedItem

I'm generating a list of names from my database, but I need to validate them so they are no longer than 15 characters.
Dim Name As String
Dim txtFirst = "../../Names/first.txt"
Dim txtLast = "../../Names/last.txt"
[Code]....
I need Name to be no longer than 15 characters, and it doesnt matter if the name stays in tact, it just needs to cut off characters from the end of the string until its 15 or less.

i am currently working on an application that reads the MAC addresses of all phones within the range of our bluetooth reader on the workstation. However, we would like to reduce the range of the reader to < 1 meter. I have dont alot of research and the only solution that i have found is a hardware one; i.e. changing the device to a class 3 or getting a custom made device that will have it's range adjusted to our preferences. However, i also know that we can adjust the power that runs through the bluetooth device in order to reduce the range. Is there any way that we can reduce the power of the device ? We don't have many funds atm and we're looking at a software solution and not a hardware one.

I have a combo which contains a lot of different colours. If I press b it goes to the b's in the list and if I press it again it goes to the next b. Is it possible to jump to the colour as I type it so if I type blu it would go to blue. Currently it jumps to the first b when I type b but ignores the lu for blue.

Reading through "The Pragmatic Programmer", I've come across the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) and Orthagonal (keep code modular) principles.I have a suite of modules, some of which have common procedures. Because each module is a separate project in Visual Studio, up until now I have simply copied code from one project to another when 1 module (project) needs to do the same function as another module (project). This is when functionality overlaps, not when 2 modules (projects) do everything the same.
I always suspected this was bad practice (and have seen the fruits of my suspicions when the subs get out of sync), and the book confirmed me in this belief. So, what I want to do is make a central code repository for the 4 or 5 common subs, but I don't know how to do it.Should I make a .dll file for each sub I want to use in multiple places? If so, how do I do that? Is there another way to do what I want to do?
1. I have a subroutine that takes a filepath (and if disconnected also a SqlConnection) and loads the referenced file into a database as a BLOB.
2. I have 3 separate projects in 1 VS solution that all run basically the same version of this code.
3. I want all 3 to run EXACTLY the same code.
4. I want 1 version of this code so that any changes made don't need to be made in 3 places.
5. I have a few other instances like this for other subroutines.

How do I reduce flicker in a vb2005 panel?Inside the parent panel I have 2 other panels that I'm am using.
The outer most panel contains a background sprite and the two innermost panels are overlays that change to fit the places in the background sprite.When I change the overlay sprites I would like to reduce the flicker and make it a smooth transition from one sprite to the next.
Here is the code that changes the images in the overlay panels the overlay panel is not changed if the new value is the same as the old value

I've looked up ways to reduce the ViewState:
Viewstate Optimisations
Strategies for reducing ViewState size in asp.net
However, due to the situation I'm in, I need the quickest and most effective ways to reduce the ViewState size. The legacy system I'm working on is bloated and routinely has a ViewState that's 800Kb+ on multiple postbacks.
For example, I'm pretty sure populating drop down lists with 100+ items on multiple post backs is one of the culprits, correct?
Disabling the ViewStae entirely doesn't appear feasible. It breaks all of the controls, of which there are many, rendering the pages unusable. If this is the best approach, how should I go about handling all the broken controls?

I noticed that when using a single letter as the title on a tab of a Tab Control , the tab is bigger that it should . Look on this example :
The above Tab Control behaves normally because the text on each tab is sufficient to keep it big enough . The lower Tab Control , however , has its tabs too big . Is it possible to reduce its width ? I saw there is an ItemSize property of the Tab Controls , but unfortunately I can only modify the height of the tabs . No matter what value I set for its width , the width remains always the same (and larger than it should) ...

I have an application which I've developed which queries Active Directory information and stores about 15 properties into a Datatable which is kept in memory. I need to decrease the amount of "Commit" memory it is setting aside. The application stays active in the system tray and allows for quick searching of information along with pictures for users. I have a class, which is able keep memory usage down pretty low. It runs on a timer every 10 seconds and listed below:

I have a project in which I have to display a picture box based on:
Which radio box is checked
and
if a checkbox to make the picture box visible is checked. As someone who values clean, good code this is my code and it horrifies me. My question, is there some way to condense the following using cases or some other construct I don't know in VB.net?
If CheckBox1.Checked = False Then
BooksPictureBox.Visible = False
MusicPictureBox.Visible = False
[Code]....
Note- all the images stack on one another, and all of them start without being visible.

I have an ArrayList that stores 100,000+ numbers inside of it. Each number is 10 digits in length or smaller. The program itself has data input into it, of which it loops through the user input to see if any of their numbers are already in the array using if ArrayList.Contains(userinput).
It would appear that when having an ArrayList of this size a LOT of memory is being used. Would there be a faster way to run this, E.g. Database or If TextFile.Contains(Line)?

Is there an easy way to edit the code below so that it copes (works the same) if the embedded resource is not a plain text file, but a compressed text file?
Dim tempList() As String
tempList = My.Resources.ENABLE.Split({Environment.NewLine}, StringSplitOptions.None)
For Each strWord In tempList
enableFullList.Add(New Words(strWord))

I have seen System.IO.Compression but can't work out what to do, DeflateStream, GZipStream etc.

I saved an images hash number to a database so that when my application pulls in images, I can compare this hash number to the hash numbers of the images comming in. The purpose is that if one of the images comming in has the same hash number, I can flag it. It seems that the saved hash number for an image is not the same for the exactly the same image when it has come in. Is this because the hash number for an image can change depending on the pc where its being created?

I need to be able to count the number of pictureboxes whose image is not "nothing". At first, this seems really simple (and it probably is) but I'm unable to see a way to access the array I created. (This is a workaround to the .net framework's lack of support for control arrays.)Here's the code as it exists now. Please look at it and give me a pointer in the right direction.[code]
