vPaint - GDI+ image editor

[scintilla4evr]

Sorry for the delays. I'm working on my school website and it's taking my whole time and attention. But, since it's holiday in Poland, I'm back here with the new version:

Changes in this version are:

• Fixed selection problem (when you had multiple selections and tried to choose one of them in the Objects panel, vPaint crashed)
• Added paths and a separate tool for creating and editing them.

Note: Selections and paths are not saved in the V4I file for now.

Again very good update.
I also have holiday a the same time

Please fix your signature (spoiler)

New version:

• Added path-to-selection conversion (see path context menu in Objects panel)
• Recompiled Interference and fixed some problems with it (now works on Windows 7)
• Paths in the viewport are now antialiased
• Paths can be hidden

My GUI still looks like

Another update:

• Fixed selection and path behavior after cropping the image
• Added path-to-layer conversion
• Masking layers with paths
• Fixed font problems (finally, I hope)

PS. @UEZ, can I use your BitmapApplyFilter UDF in vPaint, please? Your name will be written all over the About window.

Sure, that's the reason why I published it.  Further I came also to my mind with your script...

I will release in a few minutes the latest version with two additional blur filter.

 

Edit: the GUI seems to work now.

FINALLY!

Another update for today:

• Layer renaming and opacity (right-click the layer in the list and select 'Layer options')
• Layer blending modes (SLOW AS HELL!)

PS. UEZ's BitmapApplyFilter UDF seems to have problems with vPaint. I'll try to tackle that tomorrow.

Edit: I've just noticed that 'Objects' is 'About...' in the right pane. I'll fix that in the next update. Fixed.

Update time:

• Blending modes now support opacity
• Added channel routing (only for Normal blending mode, available in the layer context menu)

Any update on this issue?

Still no idea why your DLL causes vPaint to crash. I think I'll make another DLL to call your DLL to check if it will work. In the end, I'll end up drowning in a sea of DLLs.

[UEZ]

How you are calling the functions? Be careful with the last parameter which returns either a GDI+ or GDI bitmap!

If you are going to use GDI with GDI+ or vice versa your script will crash!

 

In my examples the returned bitmaps are always GDI format!

 

 

Btw, vPaint is very unstable - it crashes very often.

It turns out, that the DLL doesn't work when it is not in the same directory as the main script is.

And the day when vPaint will not crash, will be the day when a giant pink meteorite will hit the moon and turn it into a daffodil.

[scintilla4evr]

Ok, I added two of UEZ's filters: Median and Jitter.

You can add the path to the DLL in _GDIPlus_BitmapApplyFilter_Open(<path to DLL>) function. Have you tried it?

Yes. I examined the code more closely and it turns out that the problem was somewhere else. It was the fact that vPaint loads bundled GDI+ DLL from Data\Libraries.

3.9.12:

• Layers and paths now are properly saved in the V4I file
• New color picker
• Paths as layers
• Collapsible sections in Objects panel

PS. New V4I format is not backwards compatible with the previous one.

In this function:

Func _D2D1_CreateStrokeStyle($oFactory, $oProperties, $aDashes = 0)
    If IsArray($aDashes) Then
        Local $tDashes = __D2D1_CreateDashes($aDashes)
        $tDashes = $tDashes()
        Local $iDashCount = $aDashes[0]
    Else
        Local $tDashes = 0
        Local $iDashCount = 0
    EndIf
    Local $aCall = $oFactory.CreateStrokeStyle($oProperties(), $tDashes, $iDashCount, 0)

    Return $aCall[4]
EndFunc

You redeclaring the same variable.

Tryt to change code like this:

Func _D2D1_CreateStrokeStyle($oFactory, $oProperties, $aDashes = 0)
    Local $tDashes = 0
    Local $iDashCount = 0
    If IsArray($aDashes) Then
        $tDashes = __D2D1_CreateDashes($aDashes)
        $tDashes = $tDashes()
        $iDashCount = $aDashes[0]
    EndIf
    
    Local $aCall = $oFactory.CreateStrokeStyle($oProperties(), $tDashes, $iDashCount, 0)

    Return $aCall[4]
EndFunc

The last error is related to MagicWand selection tool.

Oh yes, I have to make this function iterative, because of the maximum recursion level in Au3 (it was 3800 I think).

No, there is no hard limit set on recursion level in AutoIt. See this topic for more info on this:
