What's wrong with max values of GotoXY function? - pascal

My code is doing strange thing when MoveMessage procedure takes max values(ScreenWidth and ScreenHeight). So the "Hello, world" string moves to the right down corner and doing strange thing, but the max and min values are set correctly.
Can someone tell me where is my mistake.
program HelloCrt;
uses crt;
const
Message = 'Hello, world!';
procedure GetKey(var code: integer);
var
c: char;
begin
c := Readkey;
if c = #0 then
begin
c := Readkey;
code := -ord(c);
end
else
code := ord(c);
end;
procedure ShowMessage(x, y: integer; msg: string);
begin
GotoXY(x, y);
write(msg);
GotoXY(1, 1);
end;
procedure HideMessage(x, y: integer; msg: string);
var
len, i: integer;
begin
len := Length(msg);
GotoXY(x, y);
for i := 1 to len do
write(' ');
GotoXY(1, 1);
end;
procedure MoveMessage(var x, y: integer; msg: string; dx, dy: integer);
begin
HideMessage(x, y, msg);
x := x + dx;
y := y + dy;
if x > (ScreenWidth - length(msg)) then
x := (ScreenWidth - length(msg) + 1);
if x < 1 then
x := 1;
if y > ScreenHeight then
y := ScreenHeight;
if y < 1 then
y := 1;
ShowMessage(x, y, msg);
end;
var
CurX, CurY: integer;
c: integer;
begin
clrscr;
CurX := (ScreenWidth - length(Message)) div 2;
CurY := ScreenHeight div 2;
ShowMessage(CurX, CurY, Message);
while true do
begin
Getkey(c);
if c > 0 then
break;
case c of
-75:
MoveMessage(CurX, CurY, Message, -1, 0);
-77:
MoveMessage(CurX, CurY, Message, 1, 0);
-72:
MoveMessage(CurX, CurY, Message, 0, -1);
-80:
MoveMessage(CurX, CurY, Message, 0, 1);
end
end;
clrscr;
end.

Clearing a single space from the console

I don't know how to word the title correctly but I was wondering if there is any way for me to be able to clear a single space from the console instead of clearing the entire thing just to re-write it again? for example, say I was to draw out a 3 by 3 square with the numbers counting from 1-9 all the way down, is there a way for me to change the final 9 without clearing all the prior numbers. when I clear the entire console it creates a flicker effect which is very annoying. if you want to see an example of this in code here is the thing I plan to use it on:

I found a useful function in Pascal that allow you to select a position in the console to move the "cursor" to from which point you can write in that location. the function is called GoToXY(). documentation can be found here: https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/crt/gotoxy.html.

change a bitmap's pixel colour

I am trying to change a bit-map's pixel color if it's white. I wrote following code. But it's awfully slow!. i want to check if a pixel's color is white or not, and if it is white, change the color to black.
Can anybody suggest a better approach?
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
BitMap1 : TBitmap;
X, Y, Size : Integer;
P: Cardinal;
begin
BitMap1 := TBitmap.Create;
bitMap1.LoadFromFile('image1.bmp');
for Y := 0 to Bitmap1.Height - 1 do
begin
for X := 0 to Bitmap1.width * size - 1 do
begin
p := BitMap1.Canvas.Pixels[X,Y];
if p = 255 then
BitMap1.Canvas.Pixels[X,Y] := 0;
end;
end;
Image1.Picture.Assign(BitMap1);
end;
For sure use the ScanLine property to access bitmap pixels since you're working with a large array of pixels where the Pixels access is slow. For replacing colors of your choice with support for 24-bit and 32-bit bitmaps, I would use something like this:
procedure ReplaceColor(ABitmap: TBitmap; ASource, ATarget: TColor);
type
TRGBBytes = array[0..2] of Byte;
var
I: Integer;
X: Integer;
Y: Integer;
Size: Integer;
Pixels: PByteArray;
SourceColor: TRGBBytes;
TargetColor: TRGBBytes;
const
TripleSize = SizeOf(TRGBBytes);
begin
case ABitmap.PixelFormat of
pf24bit: Size := TripleSize;
pf32bit: Size := SizeOf(TRGBQuad);
else
raise Exception.Create('Bitmap must be 24-bit or 32-bit format!');
end;
for I := 0 to TripleSize - 1 do
begin
// fill the array of bytes with color channel values in BGR order,
// the same would do for the SourceColor from ASource parameter:
// SourceColor[0] := GetBValue(ASource);
// SourceColor[1] := GetGValue(ASource);
// SourceColor[2] := GetRValue(ASource);
// but this is (just badly readable) one liner
SourceColor[I] := Byte(ASource shr (16 - (I * 8)));
// the same do for the TargetColor array from the ATarget parameter
TargetColor[I] := Byte(ATarget shr (16 - (I * 8)));
end;
for Y := 0 to ABitmap.Height - 1 do
begin
// get a pointer to the currently iterated row pixel byte array
Pixels := ABitmap.ScanLine[Y];
// iterate the row horizontally pixel by pixel
for X := 0 to ABitmap.Width - 1 do
begin
// now imagine, that you have an array of bytes in which the groups of
// bytes represent a single pixel - e.g. the used Pixels array for the
// first 2 pixels might look like this for 24-bit and 32-bit bitmaps:
// Pixels [0][1][2] [3][4][5]
// 24-bit B G R B G R
// Pixels [0][1][2][3] [4][5][6][7]
// 32-bit B G R A B G R A
// from the above you can see that you'll need to multiply the current
// pixel iterator by the count of color channels to point to the first
// (blue) color channel in that array; and that's what that (X * Size)
// is for here; X is a pixel iterator, Size is size of a single pixel:
// X * 3 (0 * 3) (1 * 3)
// ⇓ ⇓
// Pixels [0][1][2] [3][4][5]
// 24-bit B G R B G R
// X * 4 (0 * 4) (1 * 4)
// ⇓ ⇓
// Pixels [0][1][2][3] [4][5][6][7]
// 32-bit B G R A B G R A
// so let's compare a BGR value starting at the (X * Size) position of
// the Pixels array with the SourceColor array and if it matches we've
// found the same colored pixel, if so then...
if CompareMem(#Pixels[(X * Size)], #SourceColor, TripleSize) then
// copy the TargetColor color byte array values to that BGR position
// (in other words, replace the color channel bytes there)
Move(TargetColor, Pixels[(X * Size)], TripleSize);
end;
end;
end;
And the usage:
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
Bitmap: TBitmap;
begin
Bitmap := TBitmap.Create;
try
Bitmap.LoadFromFile('d:\Image.bmp');
ReplaceColor(Bitmap, clWhite, clBlack);
Image1.Picture.Assign(Bitmap);
finally
Bitmap.Free;
end;
end;
For pure GDI and bitmaps having at most 256 colors you might use the CreateMappedBmp function.
You should use scanlines for this. Example:
procedure ChangeWhiteToBlack(var Bitmap: TBitmap);
var
scanline: PRGBTriple;
y: Integer;
x: Integer;
begin
Assert(Bitmap.PixelFormat = pf24bit);
for y := 0 to Bitmap.Height - 1 do
begin
scanline := Bitmap.ScanLine[y];
for x := 0 to Bitmap.Width - 1 do
begin
with scanline^ do
begin
if (rgbtBlue = 255) and (rgbtGreen = 255) and (rgbtRed = 255) then
FillChar(scanline^, sizeof(TRGBTriple), 0);
end;
inc(scanline);
end;
end;
end;
To try this:
procedure TForm5.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
var
bm: TBitmap;
begin
bm := TBitmap.Create;
try
bm.LoadFromFile('C:\Users\Andreas Rejbrand\Desktop\test.bmp');
ChangeWhiteToBlack(bm);
bm.SaveToFile('C:\Users\Andreas Rejbrand\Desktop\test2.bmp');
finally
bm.Free;
end;
end;
Update: You need only a very minor modification of the code to make it work on 32-bit bitmaps instead:
procedure ChangeWhiteToBlack32(var Bitmap: TBitmap);
var
scanline: PRGBQuad;
y: Integer;
x: Integer;
begin
Assert(Bitmap.PixelFormat = pf32bit);
for y := 0 to Bitmap.Height - 1 do
begin
scanline := Bitmap.ScanLine[y];
for x := 0 to Bitmap.Width - 1 do
begin
with scanline^ do
begin
if (rgbBlue = 255) and (rgbGreen = 255) and (rgbRed = 255) then
FillChar(scanline^, sizeof(TRGBQuad), 0);
end;
inc(scanline);
end;
end;
end;
In fact, you could do
procedure ChangeWhiteToBlack24(var Bitmap: TBitmap);
var
scanline: PRGBTriple;
y: Integer;
x: Integer;
begin
Assert(Bitmap.PixelFormat = pf24bit);
for y := 0 to Bitmap.Height - 1 do
begin
scanline := Bitmap.ScanLine[y];
for x := 0 to Bitmap.Width - 1 do
begin
with scanline^ do
begin
if (rgbtBlue = 255) and (rgbtGreen = 255) and (rgbtRed = 255) then
FillChar(scanline^, sizeof(TRGBTriple), 0);
end;
inc(scanline);
end;
end;
end;
procedure ChangeWhiteToBlack32(var Bitmap: TBitmap);
var
scanline: PRGBQuad;
y: Integer;
x: Integer;
begin
Assert(Bitmap.PixelFormat = pf32bit);
for y := 0 to Bitmap.Height - 1 do
begin
scanline := Bitmap.ScanLine[y];
for x := 0 to Bitmap.Width - 1 do
begin
with scanline^ do
begin
if (rgbBlue = 255) and (rgbGreen = 255) and (rgbRed = 255) then
FillChar(scanline^, sizeof(TRGBQuad), 0);
end;
inc(scanline);
end;
end;
end;
procedure ChangeWhiteToBlack(var Bitmap: TBitmap);
begin
case Bitmap.PixelFormat of
pf24bit: ChangeWhiteToBlack24(Bitmap);
pf32bit: ChangeWhiteToBlack32(Bitmap);
else
raise Exception.Create('Pixel format must be pf24bit or pf32bit.');
end;
end;
if you don't want to make a single procedure that works with both 24-bit and 32-bit bitmaps, as TLama did. [One benefit of having two separate procedures is that these short procedures are easier to read (and maintain).]
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
BitMap1,
BitMap2 : TBitmap;
X, Y, Size : Integer;
P: Cardinal;
begin
BitMap1 := TBitmap.Create;
BitMap1.LoadFromFile('image1.bmp');
BitMap1.Transparent := true;
BitMap1.TransparentColor := clWhite; // old color
BitMap2 := TBitMap.Create;
BitMap2.Height := BitMap1.Height;
BitMap2.Width := BitMap1.Width;
BitMap2.Canvas.Brush.Color := clBlack; // new color
BitMap2.Canvas.FillRect(
Rect(
0,
0,
BitMap2.Width,
BitMap2.Height
)
);
BitMap2.Canvas.Draw(BitMap1);
Image1.Picture.Assign(BitMap2);
BitMap1.Free;
BitMap2.Freel
end;
private void btnLoad2_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
Bitmap myBitmap= new Bitmap(openFileDialog1.FileName);
Bitmap myBitmap1 = new Bitmap("C:\\Documents and Settings\\Lalji\\Desktop\\image.png");
for (int x = 0; x < myBitmap.Width; x++)
{
for (int y = 0; y < myBitmap.Height; y++)
{
// Get the color of a pixel within myBitmap.
Color pixelColor = myBitmap.GetPixel(x, y);
string pixelColorStringValue =
pixelColor.R.ToString("D3") + " " +
pixelColor.G.ToString("D3") + " " +
pixelColor.B.ToString("D3") + ", ";
if (pixelColor.R.Equals(0) && pixelColor.G.Equals(0) && pixelColor.B.Equals(0))
{
//MessageBox.Show("black pixel");
}
else if (pixelColor.R.Equals(255) && pixelColor.G.Equals(255) && pixelColor.B.Equals(255))
{
//MessageBox.Show("white pixel");
myBitmap1.SetPixel(x, y, Color.White);
}
//switch (pixelColorStringValue)
//{
// case "255 255 255":
// {
// // white pixel
// MessageBox.Show("white pixel");
// break;
// }
// case "000 000 000,":
// {
// // black pixel
// MessageBox.Show("black pixel");
// break;
// }
//}
}
}
myBitmap1.Save("C:\\Documents and Settings\\Lalji\\Desktop\\image1.png");

How to copy one PNG from other PNG?

My application needs a lot of PNGs and I often mess up my code while trying to work with them. To make my life easier I made one big PNG image in Realword Paint and pasted all those small PNG images on to it. Now I have one file instead. Now all I need is to copy one PNG on to other with transparency (btw don't ask why), because I need to work with each image induvidually. I am bad programmer when it comes to working with images. I am using Delphi 7.

CopyMemory(Target.Scanline[Line],

I've tried writing code to just load a png using libpng. It's pretty horrible to work with.
Try using imlib2 to take care of translating PNG files. it has a Delphi binding, apparently.
If if you get really stuck you could use Inage Magick's separate executable to do the image cropping.

OK, I just installed a Tortoise git in my PC. And I'm quiet amuse about the water effect from its about page.
try to move your mouse cursor on the turtle picture from tortoise GIT - About
its more like we are playing out finger on a water.
Does anyone know how to do make that kind of water effect in Delphi ?
See Leonel Togniolli's "Water Effects" at efg's lab.
The ripple effect is based on 2D Water Effects in December 1999 Game Developer Magazine Article
.
The algorithm is described in here 2D Water, as mentioned by François and as a reference in the source code.
Leonel's implementation is partly based on the gamedev article the-water-effect-explained by Roy Willemse. Here is also pascal code.
There is one more Delphi example at efg's called "Ripple Project", a screen shot is shown below.
Please do the following :
01. Create a Delphi Unit named "WaterEffect.pas" and paste the following codes:
unit WaterEffect;

In "uses" add "WaterEffect".
Add a "Timer" with "Enable" property and "Interval=25".
In "Private Declaration" add "Water: TWaterEffect;" and "FrameBackground: TBitmap;".
Define "var X:Integer;"
Define the following
procedure TMainForm.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
Timer01.Enabled := true;
FrameBackground := TBitmap.Create;
FrameBackground.Assign(Image01.Picture.Graphic);
Image01.Picture.Graphic := nil;

Image01.Picture.Bitmap.Width := FrameBackground.Width;
Water := TWaterEffect.Create;

Y: Integer);

end;
procedure TMainForm.Timer01Timer(Sender: TObject);
begin
if Random(8)= 1 then
Water.Bubble(-1,-1,Random(1)+1,Random(500)+50);
Water.Render(FrameBackground,Image01.Picture.Bitmap);
with Image01.Canvas do
begin
Brush.Style:=bsClear;
font.size:=12;
Font.Style:=[];
Font.Name := 'Comic Sans MS';
font.color:=$e4e4e4;
Textout(190, 30, DateTimeToStr(Now));
end;
end;
Now Compile. I think you will get the required effect.
That effect is generated by applying certain numerical transformations to the image. They're defined in the CWaterEffect class, which you can inspect for yourself in the WaterEffect.cpp source file.

A* / Dijkstra's algorithm simple implementation (Pascal)

I'm trying to implement A* path finding algorithm (now it's Dijkstra's algorithm i.e without heuristic) using this article Link. But I can't figure out what's wrong in my code (it finds incorrect path).
instead of the empty begin ... end; it should be this step:
If it is on the open list already, check to see if this path to that
square is better, using G cost as the measure. A lower G cost means
that this is a better path. If so, change the parent of the square to
the current square, and recalculate the G and F scores of the square.
but I think it is not important because there is no diagonal movement.

Edit Feb 1 '12: updated code, also fixed path marking (there should be or instead and), looks like it works now :)
You should rewrite the program to use a loop instead of cut-and-paste to visit each neighbor. If you do that you will avoid bugs like the following:
if (field[current.x, current.y - 1] <> 99) then
if (FindCell(closed, current.x, current.y - 1) <= 0) then
if (FindCell(opened, current.x + 1, current.y) <= 0) then
(See the inconsistent current.x + 1, current.y in the last line.)
With respect to the loop, I was thinking of something like this (pseudo-Python):
neighbor_offsets = [(0, 1), (0, -1), (1, 0), (-1, 0)]
for offset in neighbor_offsets:
neighbor = current + offset
if is_walkable(neighbor) and not is_visited(neighbor):
# Open 'neighbor' with 'current' as parent:
open(neighbor, current)
# Perhaps check if the goal is reached:
if neighbor == finish:
goal_reached = True
break
If you don't write a loop but just refactor to
ProcessCell(x+1, y);
ProcessCell(x-1, y);
ProcessCell(x, y-1);
ProcessCell(x, y-1);
then that's a great improvement too.
Youre posting quite a lot of code, have you tried narrow it down where it fails?
Have you compared your code with the pseudocode on wikipedia?
Also remember that dijkstra is just A* with a heuristic of 0.
Edit:
The article you linked (which I now realize is the very same I used to learn the A*, funny) contains illustrated steps. I would suggest that you recreate that map/grid and run your implementation on it. Then step through the images:
Are the eight initial neighbors added to the open list? Do they have the correct parent?
Is the correct open node picked as next to be scanned according to the heuristic?
Is the list of closed nodes correct?
And so on...
