Re: bmp/png libs?
Well, I've been doing some more work on it today. The biggest new function
is BMP.display(), which pops up a window displaying the bmp on the screen.
I also cleaned up the code a little, put in a preliminary load from file
function, and added some ddocs.
Download here:
http://arsdnet.net/bmpstuff.zip
DDoc here:
http://arsdnet.net/bmp.html
See also the bottom of bmp.d for some examples (also see the commented code in
that main function).
A short example program:
import bmp;
void main() {
auto i = new BMP("picture.bmp"); // note this MUST be a 24 bit bmp
i.display(); // show it on screen!
i.setPixel(10, 10, Color(255,255,255)); // add a white pixel at 10,10
i.save("hacked.bmp"); // save it back to a file
}
---
Writing to a file is useful, but showing it right there is really cool.
The display function I've written is still somewhat buggy and is very slow on
X11, but works reasonably well on Windows. (I really need to brush up on my
xlib.)
But what I imagine this being useful for is whipping up quick graphs and such.
Saving to a bmp is fun, but this seems useful too.
I also had to read the PNG spec yesterday for work, and am starting on adding
basic png read/write support too. I already have the chunks read into D
structs for easy processing (not in that zip), but haven't coded the
compression, so it can't actually work with the image data.
I probably won't get around to finishing this until at least next weekend.
Off topic:
I also have some D + C code for playing and doing light work with .wav
and .mid files too. As I have the time, I'll see about posting that somewhere
too. These basic file formats are nice things to have.

Thinking about it, if you do modify it for d1, send me the changed version and I'll merge it with a version block. Got a version of jpeg6b & freeType as well.

Although now that you mention it, I also have some old C code somewhere that handles BMP (at least loading anyway, and PCX too, in fact (remember that?) ). But I have a suspicion that reading/understanding/adapting yours, even if it's not cleaned up, will probably be easier than digging out and porting my old stuff :) Also, thanks for eveyone else's advice.

Yea, this is pretty much the key. Even if nothing else, it's at least useful *because* it's popular. In other words, the same reason why any audio app realisticlly needs to support MP3 even though MP3 is probably the single worst lossy audio codec out there (an assertion which, by the way, I would love to be proven wrong about, just you know, so I don't pop a vein every time I think about "average joe" and music players...).

BMP is the most popular uncompressed image format. Uncompressed file format + lzma compression leads to smaller file size than png + lzma compression. -- Rainer Deyke - rain...@eldwood.com

I didn't finish it so IIRC it only supports 24 and maybe 8 bit bitmaps, but it worked for what I needed it for - Paint can read and write those formats too. Looking at the code, oh foo, it saves but doesn't load. I have C code that can load 8 and 24 bit though. Probably not super useful, but it is simple, so maybe it will help. Here's a link.

I've never seen BMP loading or saving code that didn't have to resort to the Windows API. Even then, the code was horrible. TGA is a good format for when you just need to put pixels to disk. A single fixed-sized header out the front and then just dump the pixels. Think of it as the non-ass version of BMP that also supports 32-bit colour. -- Daniel

PNG - Lodepng is one http://www.dsource.org/projects/scrapple/wiki/LodePngLibrary but it depends on what you want to be able to do with PNGs. I'm not aware of any full-featured (beyond encoding/decoding of the actual image) PNG library yet. I'm sure there are also a handful of general image format libraries out there, but can't seem to find them at the moment. Maybe someone else can help Stewart.
