Here is 5 simple drawing functions you can use with Bitmap Action Plugin.

Copy and paste the code below into your project globals.

-- Draws a vertical line with a solid color.
function Bitmap_DrawVLine(nPos, nColor)
Lstart = 0; 
Lend = Bitmap.GetWidth();  
for pixel = Lstart, Lend do
Bitmap.SetPixel(pixel, nPos, nColor);
end
end

-- Draws a horizontal line with a solid color.
function Bitmap_DrawHLine(nPos, nColor)
Lstart = 0; 
Lend = Bitmap.GetHeight();  
for pixel = Lstart, Lend do
Bitmap.SetPixel(nPos, pixel, nColor);
end
end

-- Draws a border with a solid color.
function Bitmap_DrawBorder(nColor)
Bitmap_DrawVLine(0, nColor);
Bitmap_DrawVLine(Bitmap.GetHeight(), nColor);
Bitmap_DrawHLine(0, nColor);
Bitmap_DrawHLine(Bitmap.GetWidth(), nColor);
end

-- Draws a rectangle with a solid color.
function Bitmap_DrawRectangle(nX, nY, nColor, nSize)
Bitmap.DrawText(nX, nY, "n", nColor, 100, "Wingdings", nSize, false, false);
end

-- Draws a circle with a solid color.
function Bitmap_DrawCircle(nX, nY, nColor, nSize)
Bitmap.DrawText(nX, nY, "l", nColor, 100, "Wingdings", nSize, false, false);
end

Call these functions exactly like actions...

Bitmap.Load("AutoPlay\\Images\\bitmap.bmp");
Bitmap_DrawCircle(55,55,255,150);
Bitmap.Save("AutoPlay\\Images\\bitmap1.bmp");

1.0.0.1 Update :

Bitmap plugin now supports 41 actions up from 9 and is 3 times smaller (113 KB)
Bitmap is free for personal or commercial use.

What's New :

• Convert between a variety of image file formats. (.bmp, .png, .jpg, .gif and .tiff)

• Bitmap.DrawText()

• Bitmap.Shear()

• Bitmap.GlowingEdges()

• Bitmap.Pixelize()

• Bitmap.Spread()

• Bitmap.Offset()

• and so much more...

I'm working on making a help file and some examples but for now this will have to do.

How do I convert images?

Bitmap.Convert("AutoPlay\\Images\\Test.bmp", "AutoPlay\\Images\\Test.png");

How do I add effects?

Bitmap.Load("AutoPlay\\Images\\Test.bmp");
Bitmap.Grayscale();
Bitmap.Save("AutoPlay\\Images\\Test.bmp");

There are a few tools kicking about that help you create help files I still not sure what could be made with this as there so many bitmap tools out there but I am sure its useful to many that maybe want to build bitmap options on a app.

Well using your own logic then its safe to say going by your own history that we should avoid your downloads.

By my logic sorry but I done nothing but support this forum even after I fell out with the company I never ones made or done anything to ever hurt the user or IR as a company so get your facts right Shrek, Also agreeing to some IR down falls just because a bad users said them does not make me a bad user.


Sorry for the HiJack there Ruth.

Don't allow one really negative comment to put you off, green status is given to anyone purchasing and has no bearing on post count or anything else.

Shrek A my comment was not really Negative, and green just means they paid in to ONE of the IR products does not matter witch could be any of them, this does not mean we go out blindly and start downloading there works without getting to know them little more.

Been more active on the forum and letting us get to know what kind of person and scripter they are would make me more up for buying or using there scripts, I do this for everyone, its not about the vale he placed on there plugin ever its about the respect the other Plugin creators here have created for themselves for them to be able to sell there plugins.

If you are willing to go to anyones site or services without finding out more first then more fool you AMS can access so many important things on your computer don't thing just cos its a basic tool it can't do some really bad harm.

I hope they keep doing there plugins but I also hope they get to know people first, if not then so what I guess I just wont be downloading there works.

But I was not been means I was giving feedback to the users what is needed as we don't know them from Adam so my advice is to get to know the forum post more then off we go.

Trust is earned not bought

Indeed - only constructive feedback is valuable.

[Shrek]

Thank you Kingzooly, I might have overestimated the value of this plugin. I just wanted to get feedback from others and what better way then to provide some free! Starting with Bitmap.

I love that last part (No Plug)

Haha well, I was really trying to help out!

[kingzooly]

My first suggestion would be to properly document the features of a plugin in a helpfile. This way, every one always has a local copy of the documentation to open up for help.

My second suggestion is to base your pricing on existing solutions that are already on the market and fairly popular. The reason why I asked 'only bitmap?' is because there's an other plugin out there with plenty more features for almost the same price (no plug).

I love that last part (No Plug), I was not meant to be mean also Ruth if I sounded it sorry I type how I thing and because I am dyslexic it some times comes across very bad.

I would say do what IP says but also get to know the forum let people see what kind of work you can do, get a few feebies about and then try selling

I wish you good luck

[Ruth]

Thank you for the tips Imagine will do!
