Recommended Posts

[Edit]2008/7/18 Added second Example

On this first post now, we have:-

FUNCTIONS / Wrappers ....all use functions from gdiplus.dll

In 1st Example, 1st Post:-

GDIPlus_CreateLineBrushFromRect .... use of GdipCreateLineBrushFromRect & includes GdipSetLineBlend.

In 2nd Example, 1st Post (Added this Edit):-

GDIPlus_CreateLineBrush ............ uses GdipCreateLineBrush

GDIPlus_SetLineBlend ............... uses GdipSetLineBlend

GDIPlus_SetLineGammaCorrection ..... uses GdipSetLineGammaCorrection

GDIPlus_SetLinePresetBlend ......... uses GdipSetLinePresetBlend

GDIPlus_SetLineSigmaBlend .......... uses GdipSetLineSigmaBlend

Also, double buffering included in eg.2 This double buffering was mentioned here

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...st&p=549536

You can see the difference between eg1 and eg2 by dragging each GUI window off and back onto the desktop.

[End of Edit]

"GdipCreateLineBrushFromRect" is called from gdiplus.dll

Description: Creates a LinearGradientBrush object from a set of boundary points and boundary colors.

For ease of use, I included within the CreateLineBrush function/wrapper, the SetLineBlend routine This DllCall of "GdipSetLineBlend" requires two arrays, an array of blend factors, and an array of the blend factors positions, If these two arrays are not entered into the parameters of the CreateLineBrush function/wrapper, then default arrays are used.

In the example, three Line Brushes are created with slightly different parameters.

All parameters can be tweeked to change the look of the gradient, including the first four -$iX, $iY, $iWidth, $iHeight.

I hope you can find a use for this sometime, somewhere.

;Description - Creates a LinearGradientBrush object from a set of boundary points and boundary colors.
; $aFactors - If non-array, default array will be used.
;           Pointer to an array of real numbers that specify blend factors. Each number in the array
;           specifies a percentage of the ending color and should be in the range from 0.0 through 1.0.
;$aPositions - If non-array, default array will be used.
;            Pointer to an array of real numbers that specify blend factors' positions. Each number in the array
;            indicates a percentage of the distance between the starting boundary and the ending boundary
;            and is in the range from 0.0 through 1.0, where 0.0 indicates the starting boundary of the
;            gradient and 1.0 indicates the ending boundary. There must be at least two positions
;            specified: the first position, which is always 0.0, and the last position, which is always
;            1.0. Otherwise, the behavior is undefined. A blend position between 0.0 and 1.0 indicates a
;            line, parallel to the boundary lines, that is a certain fraction of the distance from the
;            starting boundary to the ending boundary. For example, a blend position of 0.7 indicates
;            the line that is 70 percent of the distance from the starting boundary to the ending boundary.
;            The color is constant on lines that are parallel to the boundary lines.

And thankyou JMeyer, Bert (my fellow Australian), and Andreik for your encouraging replies.

I hope the AutoIt community benefits from my contributions.

This post is to inform you all the first post has been updated with a second example. This 2nd eg contains wrappers for the functions in gdiplus.dll and shows their use:-

GDIPlus_CreateLineBrush ................. uses GdipCreateLineBrush

GDIPlus_SetLineBlend ...................... uses GdipSetLineBlend

GDIPlus_SetLineGammaCorrection ... uses GdipSetLineGammaCorrection

GDIPlus_SetLinePresetBlend ............ uses GdipSetLinePresetBlend

GDIPlus_SetLineSigmaBlend ............. uses GdipSetLineSigmaBlend

I hadn't looked at GdipSetPathGradientFocusScales. Thanks for the wrapper.

Thanks Malkey, this will be very usefull!

Excuse my ignorance, but is it possible to employ some sort of a gradient brush to _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawString? It would awesome to be able to apply a gradient to text!

Are you experienced?

Just create a gradient brush and pass it to _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawStringEx()

Broken link? PM me and I'll send you the file!
