Graphics32 1.8

Team Graphics32 is happy to announce the release of Graphics32 version 1.8 final.

This version is a major update with many new features, bug fixes and architectural changes.

Important: version 1.8 may not be fully compatible with earlier versions of the library. Some issues are easily solved by adding/changing units in the uses clause, other may require a higher level of attention (however upgrading projects should be a fairly easy step). We also provide a deprecated mode, which is activated by enabling DEPRECATEDMODE in GR32.inc. This can be useful for old projects, but it is otherwise discouraged.

What's new in version 1.8 final?

  • Global usage of new TFloat type alias instead of Single.
  • Area update support for TBitmapLayer added.
  • TTransformation now inherits from TNotifiablePersistent.
  • Incorporated the Interlocked* functions in TBitmap32.Lock and TBitmap32.Unlock.
  • Redundant code clean up + better maintainability using central protected CopyMapTo and CopyPropertiesTo methods.
  • Added BlockTransferX routine for bitmap transfers with fixed-point coordinates (using linear interpolation).
  • CLX versions of all example projects added (no guarantee that all projects are 100% CLX-compatible).
  • Minor tweaks and speed enhancements.

Bugfixes

  • Bug in TLayerCollection.ViewportToLocal method fixed.
  • Misbehaviour of TCustomLayer.Visible property fixed.
  • TCustomLayer.Changed and TCustomLayer.Update methods fixed (NO_UPDATE problem)
  • TAffineTransformation.TransformFloat fixed (SF bug 1372023).
  • TBitmap32Item.AssignTo implemented to fix problem "Cannot assign a TBitmap32Item to a TBitmap32Item" (SF bug 1329566).
  • Prevent AV if user sets resampler directly (e.g. Bitmap.Resampler := TLinearResampler.Create(Bitmap);).
  • Fixed a problem in TCustomImage32 that caused performance overhead for rmDirect repaint mode;
  • TSyntheticImage was not automatically rasterized upon creation.
  • Update regions in TTesseralRaserizer were not pixel-perfect.
  • Fix for memory leaks in AssignFromBitmap sub-method due to thread <-> GDI interaction.
  • Fixed a problem in integer version of HSLtoRGB.
  • Fixed TBitmap32.GetStippleColor (the ordinary interpolation routine must be used).
  • Fixed TBitmap32.SET_T256 and TBitmap32.SET_TS256 for color merging. cmMerge is now handled as a separate case.
  • Fixed TBitmap32.FillRectT for cmMerge.
  • Fixed bug in _CombineMem routine. The alpha channel was not interpolated, which is contradictory to documentation.
  • Revised Merge routines. Merge is now based on precise lookup tables. Moreover the new version is faster than the old buggy MMX version.
  • D5 compilation fixes.

What's new in version 1.8 beta?

  • Adaptive MicroTiles based repaint optimization system;
  • New resampler framework for custom implementations of different resampling methods;
  • Stretch filters are deprecated because of this new framework;
  • Several new reconstruction kernels for kernel-based resampling methods;
  • Synthetic imaging by using sampler classes;
  • Rasterization classes for performing sampling and rasterization;
  • Antialiasing by using regular and irregular super sampling methods;
  • Spatial convolution and morphological operations;
  • Vector maps, supporting .msh fileformat (useful for rasterizing/buffering transformations);
  • RasterizeTransformation auxiliary routine for convenient transformation rasterization;
  • Several new transformation classes (twirl, bloat, fish-eye and disturbance);
  • Fast transformations using TRemapTransformation;
  • New ordinal map classes for Boolean-, Word- and Integer-sized data elements;
  • TRubberbandLayer visual enhancements;
  • New BlendTransfer routine for blending two bitmaps using an arbitrary blend callback routine;
  • New draw mode, dmTransparent, for color key tranparency;
  • Improved performance in TPolygon32 rasterization routines;
  • New polygonal 2x and 32x antialiasing;
  • Help documents updated with new additional topics.

Bugfixes

  • Fix for access violation when using Graphics32 in DLLs on WinXP;
  • Fix for jagged lines problem in LineS, LineTS and LineAS.
