Hello everyone,
I have the following routine that renders a 4 bit bitmap image to display. I added extra comments to make it easier to read.
void
VidRenderImage (IN PBYTE Image,
IN WORD x,
IN WORD y,
IN WORD w,
IN WORD h) {
PBYTE pImage = Image;
DWORD height=0;
while (h--) { //pixels per height
DWORD CurrentPixel = 0;
while (CurrentPixel < w) {
//! convert the pixel into a byte (2 pixels per byte)
WORD CurrentWidthByte = CurrentPixel / 2;
//! grab the pixel
BYTE pixel = pImage [CurrentWidthByte];
//! two pixels per byte..mask out the pixel we are on
if ( (CurrentPixel % 2) == 0)
pixel >>= 4;
else
pixel &= 0x0f;
//! plot pixel
VidPlotPixel (x + CurrentPixel , y + height , pixel);
//! move to next pixel
CurrentPixel++;
}
//! go to next row
pImage += w/2; //w/2 as w is in pixels not bytes; 2 pixels per byte
height++;
}
}
The code does seem to work, but only if the width of the image is 196. If it is 195, 197, or other widths, I seem to run into a problem with the image. I am not quite sure what the problem is at the moment.
This will be better explained by viewing an image. These is the image being rendered at different widths by the above code.
The image on the bottom is what is happening when it fails. I can fix it by adding a "pImage += 2" right after "pImage += w/2" but this will only work for that specific width. Other widths seem to require a "pImage += 3" or pImage += 4" or similar to "fix" them.
This is hackish. I know I am missing something in the above code to resolve this, but i do not know what it is.
*additional info: These are bitmap resources. The resolutions are listed from the files themselves and are not hard coded. i.e., the code gets the width and height from the bitmap itself.
Does anyone see anything wrong?
Thanks for any help or suggestions [smile]
