[SlimDX] A couple of bugs
Author
Hello!
Just thought I'd report that:
LinearGradientBrush does not work as in this example:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd940321%28VS.85%29.aspx
Clipping a region with layers does not work as in this example:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd756626%28VS.85%29.aspx
Thank you!
I'm afraid you're going to need to be significantly more specific as to what you mean by "doesn't work" in order for anybody to help you. What does "doesn't work" mean? Doesn't compile? Crashes? Displays unexpected results? What unexpected results? What code did you use? Et cetera.

Thanks for your response.
The c#/slimdx code to reproduce the issues can be easily generated from the c++ source files I gave URLs to. If you like I can get some c#/slimdx code for you together, but I thought it would be more useful to the slimdx team to see the original c++ source.
The issues are not crashes. The issues are that the results using slimdx/c# and direct2d api/c++ are not the same. The LinearGradientBrush only draws one color, as the most obvious difference (there are many others) and the clipping example produces an empty (blank) canvas instead of something more visible.

Post the code you used to reproduce the behavior; the original C++ code isn't helpful at all, since 90% of SlimDX is just passing parameters directly through to the native code.

Yes, I can see by looking at the slimdx source that that is what it's doing. If I was working with the slimdx team I'd be more interested in the original c++ source and trying to replicate the behaviour using c#.
Anyhow, I've reported the issues and will try to upload some c# to this thread when I can.

I am part of the SlimDX team.
The C++ code isn't helpful: the most likely reason for the behavior is either that there is a bug in the marshaling of one of the parameters to the native code or the invocation of the native function, or that your managed code is passing the wrong thing / making the wrong call / failing to make some other required call. Either way, we need to see the code you are using to identify which managed methods are being used and how.

Ok, I would attach a modified SimpleTriangle2D.cs to this message, but I don't think these forums allow that. I will post the code at the end of this message.
I would expect to see a triangle with a vertical gradient in it. Here, the canvas is empty (apart from the back color).
Following the URLs at the beginning of this thread should confirm for you that what I expect to see is not beyond the bounds of reasonable for the direct2d api.

Ok, I never used D2D, but I think there is something going wrong with the init of layer.ContentBounds. The InfiniteRect you define is not that infinite, according to RectangleF construction you get a rectangle covering x < 0 and y < 0. float.MinValue + float.MaxValue yields zero, so both Right and Bottom are, too.
Maybe that's why you don't see anything, since "normal screen coords" will be clipped.

Yes, you're right. So I changed it to:
private RectangleF InfiniteRect() { return RectangleF.FromLTRB(float.MinValue, float.MinValue, float.MaxValue, float.MaxValue); }and it gives the same result. In fact, I can put a completely different value in here, e.g.
layerParams.ContentBounds = new RectangleF(0, 0, WindowWidth, WindowHeight);
and it still gives me the same result, a blank canvas. I do not see this as the cause of the problem.

You're not initializing the transformations for the brush or the layer, so they remain zero-initialized. Nor are you supplying the opacity for the layer, so it is 0 as well.
