I'm struggling to get it to work.
$text_layer->setImageClipMask($mask_layer);
I'm expecting all the black areas of $mask_layer to erase the matching areas of $text_layer.
It doesn't have any effect.
The compositeImage method can achieve the effect you're seeking. In PHP, you could do something like this:
<?php
// Open image
$image = new \Imagick('image.png');
// Create, draw mask
$mask = new \Imagick();
$mask->newImage($image->getImageWidth(), $image->getImageHeight(), 'transparent', 'png');
$mask_shape = new \ImagickDraw();
$mask_shape->setStrokeAntialias(true);
$mask_shape->setFillColor('white');
$mask_shape->setStrokeColor('white');
$mask_shape->circle($image_width/2, $image_height/2, 0, $image_height/2);
$mask->drawImage($mask_shape);
// Apply mask to image
$image->compositeImage($mask, \Imagick::COMPOSITE_COPYOPACITY, 0, 0, \Imagick::CHANNEL_ALL);
// Save newly-"masked" image
$image->writeImage('image.png');
A before and after:
Preferably, you would create a mask in Photoshop and store it with your project. You can open your mask like so $mask = new \Imagick('mask.png'); and apply it directly without dynamically generating a mask like I did above.

My question is related to this previous question. What I want to achieve is to stack images (they have transparency), write a string on top, and save the photomontage / photocollage with full resolution.
#Override
protected void beforeMain(Form f) {
Image photoBase = fetchResourceFile().getImage("Voiture_4_3.jpg");
Image watermark = fetchResourceFile().getImage("Watermark.png");
f.setLayout(new LayeredLayout());
final Label drawing = new Label();
f.addComponent(drawing);
// Image mutable dans laquelle on va dessiner (fond blanc)
Image mutableImage = Image.createImage(photoBase.getWidth(), photoBase.getHeight());
drawing.getUnselectedStyle().setBgImage(mutableImage);
drawing.getUnselectedStyle().setBackgroundType(Style.BACKGROUND_IMAGE_SCALED_FIT);
// Paint all the stuff
paints(mutableImage.getGraphics(), photoBase, watermark, photoBase.getWidth(), photoBase.getHeight());
// Save the collage
Image screenshot = Image.createImage(photoBase.getWidth(), photoBase.getHeight());
f.revalidate();
f.setVisible(true);
drawing.paintComponent(screenshot.getGraphics(), true);
String imageFile = FileSystemStorage.getInstance().getAppHomePath() + "screenshot.png";
try(OutputStream os = FileSystemStorage.getInstance().openOutputStream(imageFile)) {
ImageIO.getImageIO().save(screenshot, os, ImageIO.FORMAT_PNG, 1);
} catch(IOException err) {
err.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void paints(Graphics g, Image background, Image watermark, int width, int height) {
g.drawImage(background, 0, 0);
g.drawImage(watermark, 0, 0);
g.setColor(0xFF0000);
// Upper left corner
g.fillRect(0, 0, 10, 10);
// Lower right corner
g.setColor(0x00FF00);
g.fillRect(width - 10, height - 10, 10, 10);
g.setColor(0xFF0000);
Font f = Font.createTrueTypeFont("Geometos", "Geometos.ttf").derive(220, Font.STYLE_BOLD);
g.setFont(f);
// Draw a string right below the M from Mercedes on the car windscreen (measured in Gimp)
g.drawString("HelloWorld",
(int) (848 ),
(int) (610)
);
}
This is the saved screenshot I get if I use the Iphone6 skin (the payload image is smaller than the original one and is centered). If I use the Xoom skin this is what I get (the payload image is still smaller than the original image but it has moved to the left).
So to sum it all up : why is the saved screenshot with Xoom skin different from the one I get with Iphone skin ? Is there anyway to directly save the graphics on which I paint in the paints method so that the saved image would have the original dimensions ?
Thanks a lot to anyone that could help me :-)!
Cheers,
You can save an image in Codename one using the ImageIO class. Notice that you can draw a container hierarchy into a mutable image using the paintComponent(Graphics) method.
You can do both approaches with draw image on mutable or via layouts. Personally I always prefer layouts as I like the abstraction but I wouldn't say the mutable image approach is right/wrong.
Notice that if you change/repaint a lot then mutable images are slower (this will not be noticeable for regular code or on the simulator) as they are forced to use the software renderer and can't use the GPU fully.
In the previous question it seems you placed the image with a "FIT" style which naturally drew it smaller than the containing container and then drew the image on top of it manually... This is problematic.
One solution is to draw everything manually but then you will need to do the "fit" aspect of drawing yourself. If you use layouts you should position everything based on the layouts including your drawing/text.
I have a problem with the my picturebox.
I want to place it on my map which i got in my program.
That works when i put my img in a Picturebox and then BringToFront();
i wanted to add a picture with the problem, but i just started at StackOverflow and doesnt have enough reputation yet... :(
Anyway my img got displayed but with the white fields around it. The img I use doenst have these white stuff around it.
How can i make my Picturebox transparent so that the white fields get removed.
LogoBox.Location = new Point(size.Width - 340, size.Height - 100);
LogoBox.Image = Properties.Resources.Troepoet;
LogoBox.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(250, 40);
LogoBox.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage;
LogoBox.BackColor = Color.Transparent;
I tried to do it with only drawing a bitmap aswell but then i cant see any possibility to place it on the map. The map is a 'dominant' control.
Any help/suggestions?
Thx.
You don't need to put a picturebox on the map to draw your logo.
The easy way is to override the Map OnPainOverlays() and draw whatever you want (Logo, Text, any shape) on the map or another way if you don't want to inherit the GmapControl and work with the GMapControl by drag & drop it over a form to handle the Paint() Event:
Private Sub GMapControl1_Paint(sender As Object, e As PaintEventArgs) Handles GMapControl1.Paint
Dim logo As Image = image.FromFile("C:\transparentLogo.png")
e.Graphics.DrawImage(logo, GMapControl1.Width - logo.Width - 5, 5, logo.Width, logo.Height)
End Sub
Make sure you make image transparent and save it as PNG format.
var bd:BitmapData=new BitmapData(file.width,file.height);
bd.setPixels(new Rectangle(0,0,file.width,file.height),file.raw);
var scale_x_percents:Number = (w / bd.width);
var scale_y_percents:Number = (h / bd.height);
if(!stretch) {
if(bd.width*scale_y_percents>=w) {
scale_x_percents=scale_y_percents;
}
else if(bd.height*scale_x_percents>=h) {
scale_y_percents=scale_x_percents;
}
}
var matrix:Matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.scale(scale_x_percents,scale_y_percents);
var resizedBd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(Math.floor(bd.width*scale_x_percents), Math.floor(bd.height*scale_y_percents), true, 0x000000);
resizedBd.draw(bd, matrix, null, null, null, true); // true is smoothing option, it will blur sharpened pixels
Having problem with images resizing. Looks like smoothing is not working or something is missing in the code. Maybe Matrix should have something more?

I can link a bunch of others images. Some strange pixel disposition exist.
Can it be fixed somehow?
I have tested jpeg quality 100% and stage.quality='best', but none of them give the required quality outcome.
It seems that your problem is "nearest" sampling mode when drawing a BitmapData over a BitmapData. Perhaps the following might help:
var sh:Shape=new Shape();
sh.graphics.beginBitmapFill(bd,matrix,false,true);
sh.graphics.lineStyle(0,0,0); // no lines border this shape
sh.graphics.drawRect(0,0,resizedBD.width,resizedBD.height);
sh.graphics.endFill();
resizedBD.draw(sh); // or with smoothing on
Using Flash's native graphics renderer will most likely perform at least a bilinear interpolation on a drawn bitmap, which seemingly is your desired result. Also, stage.quality applies if that shape is added to stage (BTW, you can use the shape to display an uploaded pic, then draw over a BitmapData in order to save.) But, this might not work - I can't test this right now.
I am looking to make a photoshop action (maybe this isn't possible, any other application recommendations would be helpful as well). I want to take a collection of photos and make them a certain aspect ration, ex: 4:3.
So I have an image that is 150px wide by 200px high. What I would like to happen is the image's canvas is made to be 267px wide, with the new area filled with a certain color.
So there are two possibilities I can think of:
1) Photoshop actions could do this, but I would have to pull current height, multiply by 1.333333 and then put that value in the width box of the canvas resize. Is it possible to have calculated values in Photoshop actions?
2) Some other application has this feature built in.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Wow, I see now (after writing the answer) that this was asked a long time ago. . . oh well. This script does the trick.
This Photoshop script will resize any image's canvas so that it has a 4:5 aspect ratio. You can change the aspect ratio applied by changing arWidth and arHeight. The fill color will be set to the current background color. You could create an action to open a file, apply this script, then close the file to do a batch process.
Shutdown Photoshop.
Copy this javascript into a new file named "Resize Canvas.jsx" in Photoshop's Presets\Scripts folder.
Start Photoshop and in the File - Scripts menu it should appear.
#target photoshop
main ();
function main ()
{
if (app.documents.length < 1)
{
alert ("No document open to resize.");
return;
}
// These can be changed to create images with different aspect ratios.
var arHeight = 4;
var arWidth = 5;
// Apply the resize to Photoshop's active (selected) document.
var doc = app.activeDocument;
// Get the image size in pixels.
var pixelWidth = new UnitValue (doc.width, doc.width.type);
var pixelHeight = new UnitValue (doc.height, doc.height.type);
pixelWidth.convert ('px');
pixelHeight.convert ('px');
// Determine the target aspect ratio and the current aspect ratio of the image.
var targetAr = arWidth / arHeight;
var sourceAr = pixelWidth / pixelHeight;
// Start by setting the current dimensions.
var resizedWidth = pixelWidth;
var resizedHeight = pixelHeight;
// The source image aspect ratio determines which dimension, if any, needs to be changed.
if (sourceAr < targetAr)
resizedWidth = (arWidth * pixelHeight) / arHeight;
else
resizedHeight = (arHeight * pixelWidth) / arWidth;
// Apply the change to the image.
doc.resizeCanvas (resizedWidth, resizedHeight, AnchorPosition.MIDDLECENTER);
}
Mind that the accepted answer from #user268911 may not work for you if the source image has different pixels/inch than 72. Because the UnitValue.convert function works correctly only with 72 px/inch. To be sure the conversion is correct for ever pixel/inch value, set baseUnit property as follows:
...
var pixelWidth = new UnitValue (doc.width, doc.width.type);
pixelWidth.baseUnit = UnitValue (doc.width.baseUnit, "in");
var pixelHeight = new UnitValue (doc.height, doc.height.type);
pixelHeight.baseUnit = UnitValue (doc.height.baseUnit, "in");
...
For more details about the conversion see "Converting pixel and percentage values" section of the Adobe JavaScript Tools Guide.
What languages do you know? ImageMagick has command line tools that can do this, but you'd need to know a scripting language to get the values and calculate the new ones.
For .NET, my company's product, DotImage Photo, is free and can do this (need to know C# or VB.NET)
So far I've not been able to find any way to make the background of a GtkProgressBar transparent. I've tried setting a transparent image as the background, but the alpha channel is ignored. Can this be done?
Gtk doesn't have mechanisms to handle transparency.
It would create significant performance penalty. Even changes in covered parts of the widgets would have to generate expose events.
I guess there should be a method to composite widgets in your own way. But I think it'd be a lot of work to implement in C/Gtk. In C++/gtkmm it wouldn't be that hard to implement custom widget which does all the rendering itself.
You can try it using gtkrc file.
Try to do something like this.
`style "tc-theme-ProgressBar"
{
xthickness = 1
ythickness = 1
engine "pixmap"
{
image
{
function = BOX
orientation = HORIZONTAL
file = "./buttons/TransparentImage.png"
border = { 0, 0, 0, 0} # = {Left, Right, Top, Bottom}
stretch = TRUE #This stretches the image
}
}
}
class "GtkProgressBar" style "tc-theme-ProgressBar"
