GBPVRLibrary - Open Source Components

[whurlston]

If you want to play with it before I commit it, here is the CS file so far. It's very raw but you can see what it does. The methods still have the color parameter but they end up being ignored, so just remove it or use any color. And it's using FadeImage2 to create the fade at the moment. FadeImage2 will end up being FadeImage when I commit of course. I'm about to start working on the cleanup so I can commit but I'm a slow typer.

edit: removed attachment - now committed to svn

Modified image transforms committed. Added a few extra methods. Fades are now properly done. Diagonal fades are not yet possible with the new code.

BTW: UtilityLibrary.csproj file is missing from the svn. I created one myself but since I'm new to SVN, I decided not to upload it just in case.

my bad, i missed it when i was adding the other files (must have unchecked it when i unchecked all the bin/object folder crap , it happens)

any who ive uploaded the csproj file now

I figured, I just didn't want to upload mine and break something. BTW: which svn software do you use/recommend?

Oh, ReflectImage(image) currently returns a 100% reflection but I think we should decide on a "GBPVR standard" for reflections (like 30% or something) and set it as the default. That way users can have some consistency across plugins.

for svn i use tortoise svn

for the reflection im currently using

Code:

GBPVRLibrary.UtilityLibrary.Drawing.ImageTransforms.ReflectImage(VideoFile.Metadata.MetadataArt, 45, 50, true)

i want to alter the method to take in another parameter for max alpha level. so instead of the top of the reflection being solid, it can be set to say only 200 alpha (instead of 255), currently it looks funny being completely solid.

oh you have a "Quality" parameter, which is the max alpha level, but in the FadeImage method, you stop the loop when that value is reached.

it probably should be changed from quality to MaxAlphaLevel and still loop through each line of the image but set the alpha to
float alpha = MaxAlphaLevel / linenumber;
so line 1 with MaxAlphaLevel of 50
alpha = 50 / 1;
line 2
alpah = 50/2;
etc
so that should make the fade out work correctly.

My original intent of the "quality" parameter was actually max alpha but my calculations are off and it wasn't working properly. It was too late and I could wrap my head around the problem so I copped out and changed it to "quality". I'll fix it in a tomorrow. Tonight's pretty full for me. "quality" should actually be the number of fade steps (max quality would be the number of lines so one fade step for each line).

[whurlston]

I know the problem but I'm at a late Christmas party so I will fix it later

[whurlston]

Got it working. I just have to clean it up tomorrow and I'll commit it.
