I read the PSP manual for filters and they just alter pixels and stuff. Someone with Photoshop should make a plugin to do this (seems the plugin maker only comes on the Photoshop CD).

I didn't know any plugin maker on the CD... hmm...
Anyway, my rotation sucked and the background turned blue suddenly(???), so no go

here you go

I did "java SSRotate" and got an error :( using JDK 1.4.1_02
A bit of a shame it doesn't do bmp's either.

Erm, smong, why aren't you using the API's image manipulation stuff?

Smong · Posted: Mon Mar 17, 2003 3:02 pm Post subject:

I am using the API's in Rapid-Q to rotate the image in my ship rotator. Could you explain further?

Dr Brain · Posted: Mon Mar 17, 2003 8:03 pm Post subject:

Example i found in a Java 2 game programming book:

Code: Show/Hide

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;
import java.util.*;

public class ImageTest extends Applet
{
// the Images to render
private Image[] images;

// filename description of our images
private final String[] filenames = { "simon.gif", "tj2gp.gif", "blade.gif" };

public void init()
{
// get the base URL
java.net.URL appletBaseURL = getCodeBase();

// allocate memory for the images and load 'em in
int n = filenames.length;
images = new Image[n];
for(int i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
images[i] = getImage(appletBaseURL, filenames[i]);
}
}

public void paint(Graphics g)
{
// cast the sent Graphics context to get a usable Graphics2D object
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;

// save an identity transform
final AffineTransform identity = new AffineTransform();

// used to transform our images
AffineTransform at = new AffineTransform();

Random r = new Random();

int width = getSize().width;
int height = getSize().height;

int numImages = filenames.length;

// render 100 images, each with a random transformation
for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
// clear the transformation
at.setTransform(identity);

// randomly set up the translation and rotation
at.translate(r.nextInt()%width, r.nextInt()%height);
at.rotate(Math.toRadians(360*r.nextDouble()));

// draw the image
g2d.drawImage(images[i%numImages], at, this);
}
}
} // ImageTest

uhm, did you try opening it using the provided shortcut / what happened?

at SSRotate.<init>(SSRotate.java:46)

46 is

final JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser(new File("loaded.gif"));

maybe it's looking for loaded.gif in the same directory as java.exe instead of the .clas file, use the provided shortcut should fix this.

maybe windows upped security. if that doesn't work try making loaded.gif not read only.

bitmaps are platform dependent. It woudln't be fair to my solaris users to include them

. Also different programs change the colors to 256 differently, so therefore i don't want you to be forced into using a crappy decolorizer(word?).

Just try the provided shortcut.

Smong · Posted: Tue Mar 18, 2003 2:50 am Post subject:

Ok, now I've tried the shortcut and "javawindows SSRotate". I've also made loaded.gif non-read only. The "start-in" folder setting of the shortcut is the folder I unzipped everything to, actually I think it was zipped in a folder anyway.

I get a different error, seems to be the same as last time except:

Code: Show/Hide

Dynamic libraries:
0x52000000 - 0x52007000 C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\INDICDLL.DLL

(It gets as far as the bit saying please wait while loading).

what does the entire error say? is that it ?

Helicon · Posted: Wed Mar 19, 2003 4:10 pm Post subject:

about pshop plugin... i aint got the plugin maker. supposedly you have to "request" the SDK for PShop 7 from Adobe (who does that). The best bet might be a macro that enlargens, copies, rotates, and applies the redner->lighting effect?

Made v1.2 - now supporting uncompressed bitmaps ooooooooo
you shouldn't get the error now as I'm using the platform standard file chooser instead of JFileChooser.

Advantages:

- Doesn't have a set image size
- Doesn't have a set # row / colums (you can use it for more than just ships!)
- Thinking of switching to Solaris? Java supports multiple platforms so don't let your image rotating program be what's holding you back
