sdk load bitmap file

[23fx23]

could be nice to be able to load a bitmap file from disk (maybe just a single most generic handy format like png or bmp)
ideally within a module internal via sdk.

one application i personally would love to test would be for ex converting greyscale images to wavtables (an X slice of pixels luma being samples amplitudes array, Y slices being wavtable number), or internally display background images for knobs and stuff, but think there could be many applications.

I'm not sure to clearly understand.

In the next SDK 7.01.003 I'll add a new ParamType : ptFileName which create an input for file names in the user module.

Also another field in ParamInfo:

Code: Select all

	
AnsiCharPtr       FileNameFilter;       ///< optional&#58; filter used to open file when ParamType = ptFileName
	                                                ///< ie&#58; "All files &#40;*.*&#41;|*.*" or "'All Images |*.png; *.jpg; *.jpeg; *.bmp; *.tiff; *.gif"

The main pb is not to open a bitmap, it's to manipulate this bitmap... It's a long job to include bitmap manipulation procedure in the SDK.
I suggest you to take a look to video modules examples in the SDK. Frames are matrix of pixels which are easy to use in the SDK.

ah yes thatparamtype would be nice add, we can already open file with the sdkopendialog i use, but if not a pain ill take that too^^

In fact i didn't know it was actually possible to load a lets say jpg file and convert/load it as frame/array of pixel within the code, but if so thats perfect for me,
ill have a look at video modules i reckon i had not digged in yet sorry, thanks.
