You're welcome. I would say that one thing that is next on my list is antialiased drawing and pen width with OpenGL.

Another happy news for me.

New version 8.8.4!

Added to BGRABitmap+ZenGL
  • BGLCanvas
  • Using FreeType fonts simply with BGLFont(...). Note that you need to add the font directory, for example using TBGLBitmap.AddFreeTypeFontFolder
  • other updates

Added to OpenGL more generally
  • BlendMode property for textures and for BGLCanvas: obmAdd will add the color like a lighting, obmMultiply will multiply the color like a mask, or like ambiant lightness
  • added examples in folder test4lcl_opengl (thanks to aradeonas)
  • added rotation to BGLCanvas

Hi,

I have a problem with new OpenGL package settings.
I have a package that used BGRABitmap and its OpenGL package so I just add OpenGL package in dependencies and everything was fine but now I got this problem that my package doesn't know what package it should use and have problem on finding BGRABitmapTypes units.
I cant make  two version of my package with and without OpenGL so what should I do?

Hmm is it possible for your package to use only bgrabitmappack4lcl_opengl? This package provides TBGRABitmap as well as TBGLBitmap.

No really, I need both bgrabitmappack4lcl_opengl and bgracontrols package :|
I need both BGLVirtualScreen and BGRAVirtualScreen so I can switch in one app between them. I tried many ways but no success.

Another question.
How should I use TBGRABitmap image with BGL?
Take a look at this :
Quote
    b:=TBGRABitmap.Create;
    b.TakeScreenshotOfPrimaryMonitor;
    Tex:=BGLTexture(b);   
I write this in opengltest1 and colors will be reversed but if you load it TBGLBitmap it will be OK.

Antialiased drawing including images drawings? Like when you use StretchPutImage?

Well this antialiasing is already done by OpenGL, isn't it?

No really, I need both bgrabitmappack4lcl_opengl and bgracontrols package :|

I suggest to try to go in BGRAControls and change its dependency to bgrabitmappack4lcl_opengl

Oh that's a bug. I fixed it on SVN for you.

I dont know for sure but I know it is not smooth for sure, I just resize an image with BGRABitmap with high quality and another time with OpenGL and OpenGL version is not as smooth as BGRABitmap one.

Just worked, Thanks.

I want to try BGRABitmap with OS X, what problem we have with it and what can I test for help?

Oh I see what you're saying. For now basically you would need to call Resample to create a reduced image, and then display it, and then free it.

That would be great. The problem is with LCL font rendering. So using the normal package, if you use TBGRABitmap.TextOut, it does not work.  :'(

But it is slow and yes there is tricks for better result but it will be very good to have it in BGL.

Just font? I remember you talked about low speed with Lainz before.
OK I will check it.

Yes that's slow. The thing is that as far as I know OpenGL does not provide high quality resampling, apart from trilinear filtering, but in this case, you need to prepare the texture with different sizes.

Well basically it is the Canvas property that does not work. But this can be avoided most of the time, except when drawing text, because the default renderer depends on LCL rendering that is done on the Canvas. I am sometimes thinking about removing the Canvas property from TBGRABitmap, so that people would not be tempted to use it!

It is a bit slow indeed because the text is first drawn on a TBitmap.Canvas and then copied on the TBGRABitmap. And with fine resampling, this is much slower because a huge TBitmap is created to render with quality and is scaled down afterwards on a TBGRABitmap.

It would be faster to retrieve the shapes as Bezier curves instead. I know there a functions for that on Windows but that would not be cross-platform.
