took the code from the one other forum. This code makes resizeble rectangles. I corrected a little for displaying pictures.
if anyone knows, tell me how to calculate the position of the MovableCircle so that the initial aspect ratio is preserved.
I've implemented part of the algorithm for eBottomRight and eTopLeft, but it still works very bad and doesn't work for BottomLeft and TopRight points. I want that it will be look like Krita or PureRef resize behaviour.
Thanks for any help, regards max

I found a solution using vector math.(thanks to my colleague Dima Chernikov)
ABCD - our picture.
K' - cursor point.
D2 - the point we are looking for(new position of D)

The same problem happens in Borland C++Builder 6 and Embarcadero C++Builder 2010.
When I try to invert an image, the form freezes for about 5 seconds and nothing happens. When I click again, the image is inverted within a blink of an eye, and again, again...
To reproduce, create a form with a TImage and two TButton's using this code:
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

#pragma hdrstop
#pragma package(smart_init)

}
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
bool __fastcall Invert( TImage *img ) {
if( bLoaded ) {
double Scale, ScaleW, ScaleH;
Graphics::TBitmap *bmp = new Graphics::TBitmap;
bmp->Assign( CurrentBitmap );
DWORD **pixel = new DWORD*[bmp->Height];
for( long y=0; y<bmp->Height; y++ ) {
pixel[y] = (DWORD*)(bmp->ScanLine[y]);
for( long x=0; x<bmp->Width; x++ ) {
if( pixel[y][x] == clBlack ) {
pixel[y][x] = clWhite;
} else if( pixel[y][x] == clWhite ) {
pixel[y][x] = clBlack;
}
}
}
delete[] pixel;
ScaleW = (double)bmp->Width / img->ClientWidth;
ScaleH = (double)bmp->Height / img->ClientHeight;
if( ScaleW > ScaleH ) {
Scale = ScaleW;
} else {
Scale = ScaleH;
}
CurrentBitmap->Assign( bmp );
img->Picture->Bitmap->Canvas->StretchDraw(Rect(0, 0, bmp->Width/Scale, bmp->Height/Scale), bmp );
delete bmp;
return true;
} else {

}
}

I cannot explain why the application freezes, or what the code is doing during the 5 second delay.
Like Remy Lebeau mentioned you should set the PixelFormat. I tried your solution which did not seems to invert images properly. Below you find a solution which should work properly.
#include <JPEG.hpp>
Byte __fastcall IntToByte(int AValue)
{
if (AValue > 255)
return 255;
else if (AValue < 0)
return 0;
else
return AValue;
}
// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
void __fastcall InvertBitmap(Graphics::TBitmap *ABitmap)
{
Byte *p0;
int red, green, blue;
for (int y = 0; y < ABitmap->Height; y++) {
p0 = (Byte*) ABitmap->ScanLine[y];
for (int x = 0; x < ABitmap->Width; x++) {
red = p0[x * 3];
green = p0[x * 3 + 1];
blue = p0[x * 3 + 2];
// invert
red = 255 - red;
green = 255 - green;
blue = 255 - blue;
p0[x * 3] = IntToByte(red);
p0[x * 3 + 1] = IntToByte(green);
p0[x * 3 + 2] = IntToByte(blue);
}
}
}
// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
void __fastcall TForm1::Button1Click(TObject *Sender)
{
Screen->Cursor = crHourGlass;
TJPEGImage *jpeg = new TJPEGImage();
Graphics::TBitmap *bitmap = new Graphics::TBitmap();
try {
jpeg->LoadFromFile("**YOUR-JPEG-FILE**");
bitmap->SetSize(jpeg->Width, jpeg->Height);
bitmap->Canvas->Draw(0, 0, jpeg);
bitmap->PixelFormat = pf24bit;
InvertBitmap(bitmap);
Image1->Picture->Bitmap->Assign(bitmap);
}
__finally {
jpeg->Free();
bitmap->Free();
}

so, I've spent a fair few hours on my Mario-like game but recently I've been stuck on the collisions after I changed to an object based collision system that seems like it should work but there is a bug somewhere that i cant find.
currently the box that represents the player just falls straight through the platform rather than sitting on the platform
You wont be able to run this snippet because I'm new to stack overflow and couldn't find anything closer to processing.

I'm trying to visualize migration data using particle systems. Each row of the dataset contains: source country, destination country, year, and various amounts.
Each row should be represented as a particle system representing that data.

You probably don't want to use a nested HashMap like your answer suggests. You probably want to use your own class instead. Something like this:
HashMap<String, Point> countries = new HashMap<String, Point>();
void setup(){
countries.put("one", new Point(2, 3));
countries.put("four", new Point(5, 6));
}
void draw(){
Point pOne = countries.get("one");
point(pOne.x, pOne.y);
}
class Point{
float x;
float y;
public Point(float x, float y){
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
}
}
Or better yet, you could just use Processing's PVector class, which already represents points:
HashMap<String, PVector> countries = new HashMap<String, PVector>();
void setup(){
countries.put("one", new PVector(2, 3));
countries.put("four", new PVector(5, 6));
}
void draw(){
PVector pOne = countries.get("one");
point(pOne.x, pOne.y);
}
More info can be found in the reference. Shameless self-promotion: here is a tutorial on using classes, and here is a tutorial on creating your own classes.

Do you not need the Poloulu wheel encoders? In line 12, you create a variable named "encoders" which is set to type = PololuWheelEncoders2. The error is telling you that this is not a valid type for a variable.
So im a beginner at C++ and i'm working with an abstract class called VBot in which i inherit to other bot classes. Now I know i need to override the pure virtual code in the VBot class which i do so i don't think that is the problem. I think because im so inexperienced at C++ I am doing some thing wrong with the constructors because i keep getting the cannot instantiate abstract class.
This is the VBot.h file
class VBot
{
public:
VBot( int startX, int startY, Panel ^ drawingPanel ) :
x(startX), y(startY), panel(drawingPanel), energy(100), image(NULL) { };
virtual ~VBot() { };
virtual void Move() = 0;
virtual int EnergyToFightWith() = 0;
bool IsDead() const { return energy <= 0; }
virtual void Show();
bool CollidedWith ( VBot * b ) const;
void DoBattleWith ( VBot * b );
protected:
int x, y; // Current position of the VBot
gcroot<Drawing::Bitmap ^> image; // Image displayed for the VBot
gcroot<Panel ^> panel; // Panel on which to show the VBot.
int energy // Current energy of the VBot
};
class CNNBot : public VBot
{
public:
CNNBot( int startX, int startY, Panel ^ drawingPanel ){
VBot::VBot(startX,startY,drawingPanel);
image = gcnew Drawing::Bitmap("HappyBot.bmp");}
~CNNBot(){};
void Move();
int EnergyToFightWith();
bool IsDead() { return (VBot::IsDead()); }
virtual void Show() { VBot::Show();}
bool CollidedWith ( VBot * b ) { return VBot::CollidedWith(b);}
void DoBattleWith ( VBot * b ){ VBot::DoBattleWith(b);}
private:
static const int MOVE_VAL = 55;
static const int RIGHT_BOUND = 490;
static const int DOWN = 40;
static const int MAXY = 379;
bool switcher;
};
And this will be the VBot.cpp
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "Vbot.h"
void VBot::Show()
{
Graphics ^ g = panel->CreateGraphics();
g->DrawImageUnscaled( image, x, y );
g->~Graphics();

So the error is the cannot instantiate a abstract class so i think it is trying to construct VBot and not CNNBot because in the output it is giving me
void VBot::Move(void)' : is abstract
and
'int VBot::EnergyToFightWith(void)' : is abstract
Sorry i forgot to add that part here is Move()
void CNNBot::Move()
{
if (this->switcher)
{
this->x += MOVE_VAL;
if( this->x >= RIGHT_BOUND)
{
this->x = 0;
this->y += DOWN;
if(this->y > MAXY)
{
this->switcher = false;
this->y = MAXY;
}
}
}
else
{
this->x += MOVE_VAL;
if( this->x >= RIGHT_BOUND)
{
this->x = 0;
this->y -= DOWN;
if(this->y < 0)
{
this->switcher = true;
this->y = 0;
}
}
}
panel->Invalidate();
}
Whatever help you guys can give will be greatly appreciated to this novice programer.
To call a parent class's constructor you need to put it in the initialization list:
CNNBot( int startX, int startY, Panel ^ drawingPanel ):
VBot(startX, startY, drawingPanel)
{
image = gcnew Drawing::Bitmap("HappyBot.bmp");
}
You had this, which tried to create and then throw away a nameless VBot object:
CNNBot( int startX, int startY, Panel ^ drawingPanel ){
VBot::VBot(startX,startY,drawingPanel);
image = gcnew Drawing::Bitmap("HappyBot.bmp");}
Your not overriding Move() and by definition a class with any pure virtual functions is abstract and cannot be instantiated. Give a body to Move and you should be good.
