ImageLibEx library

[agraham]

Looking closely at that error you have a typo. You are missing the drawlines method after "drawer."

Checking slowly - I found it in this line:

drawer.(pen.Value, routePoints())

which should be:

drawer.drawlines(pen.Value, routePoints())





Thanks

And everything works fine now !

Hi Andrew,

I am beginning to use your ImageExLib.

I found some typos for the DrawerEx object:
StringHeight (string As String, FontSize As Single)
StringWidth(string As String, FontSize As Single)

should be
StringHeight (string As String)
StringWidth(string As String)

If the need to declare the points array as Int32 remains in the future, it would be interesting to have a mention on it in the help file.
Dim Points(n,2) as Int32

Best regards.

Thanks Klaus, I've amended the help for the next version accordingly. That was quite a big help file to put together and proof read so I wouldn't be surprised if there are other cut and paste type errors waiting for someone to notice them.

Hi Andrew,

In using the ImageExLib I found another typo in the help file.

in the help file this line
DrawImage1 (image As Image, rectSrc As Rectangle, rectDest As Rectangle, transparent As Boolean)

the program wants this:
DrawImage (image As Image, rectSrc As Rectangle, rectDest As Rectangle, transparent As Boolean)

In the ImageLib it is DrawImag1 which one do you want to use ?

Best regards.

I named it DrawImage deliberately seeing as there is only a single method of that name. I suspect that in the past ImageLib was intended/had a second DrawImage method but actually only ended up with one.

I am not sure if you noticed that in the help file of the ImageExLib the text is DrawImage1 but should therefore be DrawImage .
I send this once more to make it sure.

Another question, I am almost sure that it is not the case but ask it even so. Can the dimensions od the dashes and or dots in the lines be changed for a given linewidth? They change with the linewidth, because with a width of 1 pixel oblique lines don't look that nice.

Joined 2 screenshots with widths of 1,2 and 3.

Best regards.

Yes I did thanks, I've amended the help file for any future release.

On the desktop only yes, by a Pen property, DashPattern, that could probably be set by the Door library.

Drawing on the device is somewhat different to the desktop. That is why there are different way of rotating fonts on desktop and device. I tried to make the desktop and device libraries reasonably compatible so that what drew on the desktop would more or less draw on the device.

I was going to look at an "ImageLibPlus" for the desktop that took advantage of the far superior graphics on the desktop but I haven't done anything yet as I got sidetracked by GPS software.

Thank you Andrew, I will have a look at it. It's for a desktop only program.

Best regards.
