Advanced Graphics Routines 3.2 is a Powerful, extremely fast collection of graphic routines that matches industrial standards.
I wrote the main code in a C++ - dll, though it would be theoretically possible to write all the Code in pure VB, but VB is just to slow; this way is easier to use and much faster.
This is a Completely Updated Version of the very successful, contest-winning predecessor, I improved all old functions and added many new ones.
UPDATE 3.2 (3/6/2001):
- New functions (listed below)
- Increased readability of code
- Improved GUI
List of Graphical Functions:
- Chrome (new 3.2)
- Aluminium (new 3.2)
- Hue rotation (new 3.2)
- Saturation Adjustment (new 3.2)
- Contrast Adjustment (new 3.2)
- Brightness Adjustment (fixed 3.2)
- Alpha Mask (new 3.0)
- Mosaic Filter (new 3.0)
- Relief (new 3.0)
- Blur (new 3.0)
- Invert (new 3.0)
- Outline (new 3.0)
- Flip (new 3.0)
- New Masked Draw (new 3.0)
- AlphaBlending
- Bump Mapping
- Rotating
- Anti-Aliasing
All functions can be controlled by these Parameters:
- FlipX/Y
- Invert
- Greyscale
- Use Mask Color
- Anti-Alias
The effects are realtime even for large pictures like 640x480.
Furthermore the new package contains some useful TIMER/COUNTER functions, that are very useful for example for realtime-programming.
I included some easy samples in VB and a complete VB-Demo to show all the possibilities of the library.
I hope you like the product, and if so *please* vote for this really useful and extremely fast code! Feedback would be appreciated, too.
