Rotate and Flip images with GdiPlusX

Here's some adapted code from a previous post that used _gdiplus.vcx, but this time using gdiplusx:

Rotating and / or flipping images is a very simple task for gdi+. To see the different results possible, change the constant value in the variable lnEnumRotateFlip in the code below.

 

Important
Requires VFP9 and GdiplusX to run.  

https://github.com/VFPX/GDIPlusX

 



* Init GdiPlusX
DO System.app

LOCAL loBmp as xfcBitmap
LOCAL lnEnumRotateFlip

WITH _SCREEN.SYSTEM.Drawing

loBmp = .Bitmap.FromFile(GETPICT())
lnEnumRotateFlip = .RotateFlipType.Rotate90FlipNone  && change this value with the presented below
loBmp.
rotateflip(lnEnumTotateFlip)

* to save the image as png
loBmp.Save("c:\RotateFlip.png", .imaging.imageformat.png)

ENDWITH
RUN /N EXPLORER.EXE RotateFlip.png

  1. Very cool - but would you really want a LOCFILE() in this?  I would just pop an error message and return .f. it it couldn't find System.VCX
    Hi Ken,
    Thanks for your comment.
    We`re using LOCFILE() in almost every sample to ease the task for users to run the codes. We hope GdiPlusX will help beginners and experts.
    Using LOCFILE() in the samples, users wont need to worry to SET PATH or to throw the samples in the "source" folder.
    Of course, if the user will use those samples in a project, the GdiPlusX library will need to be added to the project, and LOCFILE() will be removed. Was I clear ?
    Regards
    Cesar

  2. Hi Cesar.

    Then, if I want to put GdiPlusX in a real project I need to put the library in my "Clases" directory and have a reference in the path's for GdiPlusX, really?.

    Greath work Cesar.

    PS: Sorry for the bad english
    Hi, Just add the library to your project, and that's all. Don't forget to clear the "LOCFILE()" command in the initialization of GDI+. Once it's in the project, your EXE will find it automatically.
    Good luck !

  3. Hi Cesar. Grettings from the hot Asunción of Paraguay. Thanks for your excelent work.

  4. lnEnumRotateFlip = .RotateFlipType.Rotate90FlipNone


    isnt exactly nice esp. if you want to got a Button to Rotate 90° Right + Flip so here is how you do that:


    lnFlip = MOD(thisform.RotateRight + thisform.RotateX*4 + thisform.RotateY*6,8)

    oBMP.RotateFlip(lnFLip)

    - this is if you ALWAYS use a original Image and NOT Rotate the oBMP twice++

    - so if you do that without using a org. Clone  clicking "RotateRight" twice will actually get you 270° instead of 180°




    there the Commands

    CMD Rotate 90° Right -> Click() = thisform.RotateRight=MOD(thisform.RotateRight+1,4)

    CMD Rotate 90° Left -> Click() = thisform.RotateRight=MOD(thisform.RotateRight-1,4)

    CMD Flip Y -> Click()  = thisform.rotateY = MOD(thisform.RotateY + 1,2)

    CMD Flip X -> Click()  = thisform.rotateX = MOD(thisform.RotateX + 1,2)


    so it doesnt matter which CMD you click in which order it roates the right angle if

  6. Hi Cesar.
    Can we use system.app to rotate images by any desired angle ? Thank you very much
    Hi Warren,
    Sure you can ! Please refer to the samples provided with GdiPlusX, there are a couple showing you how to do this :-D
