Combine Images? - RunUO

fyrye · 10-10-2003, 05:09 PM

I looked in the usual places I do for image combining.
MSDN is a joke now to find anything with.

Does anyone know of a Componentless method scripting refrence to combine images on a webpage using ASP/ASPx ?

Much Appreciated.

MSDN???
is it a serach engine?

If so...
use google
has a bunch of scripts for ASP and JAVA and all that

No, MSDN = Microsoft Developers Network. It's a very large collection of programming material. It can be hard to search given the massive amount of topics, it gets easier with some experience and if you know at least the area you have to look for. I can usually find most of my answers there.

But I have no asp knowledge, so I'm afraid I can't help you fyrye.

What do you mean by "combine images" ? What exactly are you trying to do ?

If I understand correctly, you want to do some 2D image manipulation. This isn't directly related to ASP/ASPx and in either case can be achieved by using API designed to handle 2D image manipulation.

For Asp.net, a good start would be to look into the System.Drawing, System.Drawing.Drawing2D and System.Drawing.Imaging namespaces in the .Net class library (MSDN is the right place for this documentation). For ASP, there are probably plenty of COM libraries out there that can do what you want or writing code that uses Windows API directly.

Most chances someone already wrote this, again, depends on what you are trying to do.

Basically I am trying to take a bunch of staticly defined images and layer them. I have seen this done in ASP as a component, but for some reason I cant find the ADO stream object that writes the images and allows you to manipulate the out put. Much like runuo does with its latest guild stats, or UO does with its DIvs which is the way I knew previously. But rather then being able to select all and see whats under each layer I am trying to make a combined Image of it dynamically, if you see my meaning, but thatnk you for the namespace refrences.

ADO has nothing to do with graphics. ADO is a database abstraction layer used by windows to acess information in databases. All the function, methods, and objects you need to do to manipulate images are in the system.drawing namespace. .NET drawing is done through a system called GDI+, which allows an abstracted way to draw on any type of imaging device, the screen, a printer, and even in memory. To manipilate images for a web page you need to create a memory bitmap, and create a graphics object from it. You can then use this object as a "canvas" to draw primatives, or other bitmaps into. Once you are finished manipulating it you stream the bitmap to the client using the response object avalable in an ASP page.

Basicly look up system.drawing, and GDI+ in MSDN, and or google, you will find everything you need.

Thought ADO was ActiveX Data Objects and enable your client applications to access and manipulate data from a variety of sources through an OLE DB provider. Anywho was refering to it as a base of what I was refering to as an object to read/write/manipulate the file, I remember seeing an image readerr/writter for bitmaps and couldnt remember the Object it used. And have had to write an Image into a database using a binarywriter.

Thanx for your help.
