Another updated port to C of GDI+
« on: May 17, 2016, 08:00:04 PM »
The use of GDI+ is mainly limited because of the lacking of header to use the so called flat API's.
Searching around some hackings can be found, but they are old and in some cases limited.
I made a fast workout of last SDK and this is the result.
I'll look forward for comments and suggestions to make it a final release.

P.S. The test program of course is based on the historic GdiPlus demo.

EDIT: Removed some bugs and added 64bits version (see note in newer post).
EDIT: I forgot to put inside the fGdiPlus.h  >:(. Updated
EDIT: Updated version

Nice job with the header 'fGdiPlusFlat.h'

Thanks John  :)
I have updated the project, I've found problems compiling for 64bits:
  • Allocations made with malloc were erroneously deallocated with GdipFree and crashed under 64bits. Corrected using GdipAlloc for allocation.
  • GUID's for Imaging are'nt defined in GdiPlus.Dll under 64bits. Added symbol to force instantiation.
If somebody can check for other problems I'll be glad.
If there are no more problems I'll publish under contributions.

Yes you're right about malloc, well done.

Can you post a link to fGdiPlusFlat.h?

http://forum.pellesc.de/index.php?topic=4165.msg21438#msg21438 is not the right one.

JJ It was my wrong. I forgot to add the include file.
I have update the download with the last version, that is slightly different from the older previous one supplied by John.
Thanks John anyway.

In your new download you have

#include <fGdiPlusFlat.h>

instead of

#include "fGdiPlusFlat.h"

Yes because I have put the fGdiPlusFlat.h in "PellesC\include\win" to use it in more projects that I'm testing.
If the file works this should be the final location, to copy it in each project is not effective.
I'll update the download.

'if the file works'! Of course it'll work.  :)

Thanks to both of you.

Btw it chokes with main.c(33): fatal error #1035: Can't find include file <fGdiPlusFlat.h>, but that can be "healed" by using quotes instead of brackets:

#include "fGdiPlusFlat.h"

Apparently <file.h> searches the default include folder, while "file.h" searches in the current folder - see this SOF thread.

Thanks John. I have updated the download, maybe you want add it to your site together with the old GDI+ sample.
JJ As I told to John in my former post I used <> because I have put my copy in the PellesC include directory. Anyway I updated the sample. Now is correct.

So, to anyone doing GdiPlus demo(s) you are welcome to have it on my web site! :)

EDIT: Using Frankie's new header of course.

John

attached you'll find the last version of fGdiPlusFlat.h with the first part of a paper on use of GDI+ under C and a test program.
The examples in the paper are coded in the example program.
Let me know your comments.
