Some Graphical Examples using GDI+ Vol. I

[UEZ]

 

Here some useless graphical examples using GDI+, made for fun (my 1st GDI+ codes ):

 

 

!Some examples may run slowly on WinXP machines (workaround in this thread)!

Some examples using Hex() function need adjustment when running on AutoIt version 3.3.8.0+ otherwise colors are flashing (fixed versions in AiO package below)!!!

2009-01-23: changed draw order from back to front in #02 Flying Squares to give true perspective (old drawed from front to back)

2009-01-30: added #06 Sinus Scroller example

2009-02-01: #01 Flying Pearl Necklaces code modified (added color for each ball)

2009-02-03: #04 Plasma code modifed (added _GDIPlus_BrushSetSolidColor() instead of using _GDIPlus_BrushCreateSolid() in the loop -> thanks smashly)

2009-02-05: added Triangle and Arrowhead to #05 L-System Fractals (6 modules implemented currently)

2009-02-09: changed color design in #05 L-System Fractals; made same mistake again that smashly told me again and again in #06 Sinus Scroller -> fixed

2009-02-15: changed background to white in #01 Flying Pearl Necklaces - looks better

2009-02-18: increased the draw speed in Mesmerizing Squares Screensaver (up to 15,29% on my notebook. Screen resolution is 1920x2224 on dual monitor)

2009-03-09: added 07# GDI+ Visualization: Analog Meter Beta

2009-03-11: Beta phase ended for 07# GDI+ Visualization: Analog Meter! Now final. Code and downloads updated

2009-03-17: Updated 07# GDI+ Visualization: Analog Meter. Now level amplitude depends on master volume -> louder = higher level amplitude

2009-03-20: Fixed 07# GDI+ Visualization: Analog Meter bug -> bass.dll returns negative values for channel levels

2009-03-21: added some features to #07 GDI+ Visualization: Analog Meter -> now you use o,p and c keys to open, pause and continue song

2009-03-22: found another issue with bass.dll -> always returns 1 on _BASS_GetVolume() function on my desktop pc -> code / download updated

2009-03-23: added another small GDI+ example: #08 Particle Catapult

2009-03-24: redesigned 1st post

2009-03-25: changed some codes in #08 Particle Catapult -> you can use now your lmb and mouse wheel to influence particles (confetti)

2009-03-26: changed needle position in #07 GDI+ Visualization: Analog Meter -> now needle root is under the "thing in the middle"

2009-04-01: added drag 'n' drop feature in #07 GDI+ Visualization: Analog Meter for better file handling (only 1 file will played if your drag 'n' drop more than one)!

2009-04-05: added one more GDI+ example: #09 Rotating Cube

2009-04-06: change design in #09 Rotating Cube -> now looks better (i.m.o)

2009-04-07: found a bug in #07 GDI+ Visualization: Analog Meter: needle freezes in "get volume error" mode when P was pressed instead of slowly moving to the left

2009-04-08: change design again in #09 Rotating Cube -> now it looks still another stage better (i.m.o)

2009-04-13: added #10 Simple Ball Collision Simulation beta example. It is still in beta phase.

2009-04-21: made some minor changes to #10 Simple Ball Collision Simulation beta example -> now "orbiting" shouldn't be available anymore. Changed friction slider to 0 - 100. Mouse control over balls still in progress!

2009-04-27: made some minor changes to #09 Rotating Cube (changed size and colors) and #08 Particle Catapult (implemented z axis look of particles)!

2009-04-28: tried to give balls in #09 Rotating Cube a 3D look

2009-06-03: added z axis to the letters in #06 Sinus Scroller

2009-06-29: added #11 Particle Explosions (modified code from AUTOITEROIDS)

2009-10-18: speed up #05 L-System Fractals! Now drawing is a little bit faster! Working on Fractal Plant implementation!

2009-10-23: added #12 Rotating Letters! One more useless GDI+ script!

2009-11-03: added transparent version of #12 Rotating Letters!

2009-11-11: added Magic Lines Screensaver because I never published it in its own thread (my 1st steps in GDI+!). Maybe you like it

2009-11-14: made some modifications to #06 Sinus Scroller. Now less CPU usage but still I'm not really happy with it at all...

2009-11-25: added save feature in #05 L-System Fractals! Now you can save image (standard output format is png) anytime by pressing F9.

2010-03-10: added #13 Rotating Cube 2! Simple cube rotation using basic code from #09 Rotating Cube

2010-03-12: added #14 Rotating Cube 2 with build-in textures! Thanks to Malkey for the tip how to handle surfaces

2010-03-14: added #15 Rotating Cube 2 with 6 GDI+ examples from me on the surfaces!

2010-03-15: made small modifications to #13, #14 and #15!

2010-03-24: added brightness effect to the surfaces in #14 Rotating Cube 2 with build-in textures! The surfaces get darker when they are rotating to the back! Thanks to Authenticity for the GDIp.au3 and the examples!

2010-04-07: added #16 Rotating Cube 2 simple! A simple cube. The perspective of example #14 and #15 is not correct because _GDIPlus_DrawImagePoints() can draw only a parallelogram! Maybe I will find another way...

2010-04-18: compressed several au3 codes and images to save attachment space

2010-08-22: added #17 Tramp of Particles, #18 Twister, #19 Star Burst and #20 Warp Starfield -> Twister is too slow for pure AutoIt - it screams for an inline ASM solution

2010-08-28: added 2 more examples: #21 Plasma 2 and #22 Isometric Level-3 Cube

2010-08-31: added #23 Zoomer (imho a very cool effect)

2010-09-04: one more -> #24 Suspended Cloth Simulation. Use lmb to move right bottom of cloth, F5 to restart and F6 to turn on/off gravity

2010-09-07: Inspired by Zoomer I created #25 Visualizer: Oscilloscope Farbrausch, the next GDI+ example! To run Visualizer Oscilloscope Farbrausch.au3 properly you need following files: Bass.au3, BassExt.au3, Bass.dll and BassExt.dll. These files can be found in AiO package! Thanks to eukalyptus for the files!

2010-09-21: the next example on the way: #26 Im- Exploding Particle Logo. Also nice effekt

2010-09-30: added this time #27 Pixel Text Effect which is currently in beta phase

2010-10-07: added to #27 Pixel Text Effect a few effects e.g. morphing

2010-10-15: forgot to upload the small changes I made in #25 Visualizer: Oscilloscope Farbrausch

2010-10-17: small modifications to #27 Pixel Text Effect -> now with chip sound - demo style. Available only in AiO package or from German AutoIt site because of low attachment space here.

2010-10-21: some more small modifications to #27 Pixel Text Effect

2011-03-28: #28 example added: my version of Star Wars scroller ;-)

2011-04-06: #29 Rotated Letters Simple added - inspired by this thread:

2011-04-08: #30 Ballet of Letters is a further development of #29 Rotated Letters Simple

2011-06-02: #31 Perfect Illusion with 3 variants. Thanks to Ximorro for the idea

2011-06-26: added another screensaver code -> 3D Star Scrolling Screensaver

2012-02-10: fixed a bug in GDI+ 3D Star Scrolling Screensaver (preview screen)

Hypnotizing... found myself just starring on it for a few minutes (after changing the sleep to 20 ms, went smoother)

Good job

[UEZ]

@monoceres: thanks for feedback -> changed it to sleep(20)

Apropos sleep - it's a good idea now -> Goto Sleep(6h)

Nice effect.

Playing with transparency gives an interesting variation too:

Wow, that is pretty sweet... I didn't know autoit could do stuff that graphically orientated..

Thanks for your feedback!

Wow I really need to start learnin GDI+. I'm wondering, is there a way for this to run in the background and export the image as a jpeg?

Yes. You can search examples in the forum like the captcha (can't remember the author). Edited January 7, 2009 by Josbe

I don't know why Barbarella is in my head when looking this. And Jane Fonda.

Very nice!

Wow I really need to start learnin GDI+. I'm wondering, is there a way for this to run in the background and export the image as a jpeg?

Yes and very easy too.

Since UEZ is double buffering the with a standard bitmap you can replace the following line:

_GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImageRect($Graphic, $ParticleBitmap, 0, 0, $width, $height) ;copy to bitmap

with:

_GDIPlus_ImageSaveToFile($ParticleBitmap,@ScriptDir&"\"&$LoopCount&".jpg"

where $LoopCount is an integer that you increment every loop.

Edit: I added some digits to pi as well :-P doesn't make a difference.

looks like a good base for building a "3D" game (the squares script)

great work btw!

Naw, this is a start to a possible 3D game. I need to do more with that. I've been slacking lately. http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...;hl=au3irrlicht

Edit, the reason I was asking about exporting the image was possibly adding that to my 3D work, having a spinning cube with the pearl necklace on it, that would be nifty.

In my opinion the problem is not GDI+ but the mathematics to realize 3D

I'm just a beginner, too.

I'm an engineer, so 3D is my thing. Scripting not so much so. Requires to much organization. I don't know too many organized engineers. I haven't done anything with GDI+ so I have no idea of its 3D potentials. Visually it is amazing though.
