Hi,
there seems to be an issue with GeUserArea.DrawBitmap().
Not only that BMP_DiMIMAGE is listed twice in the docs, but also the attribute of the function "mode" ,except BMP_NORMAL, can´t be assigned.
Especially BMP_ALLOWALPHA is really needed.
cheers

Hi Martin,
instead of drawing into the GeUserArea directly, we recommend to do all drawing (especially with alpha channels) into a GeClipMap. And then in the end only use DrawBitmap() with BMP_NORMAL and BMP_ALLOWALPHA to draw the GeClipMap (or rather the BaseBitrmap retrieved from the GeClipMap) into the GeUserArea. In this way BMP_ALLOWALPHA works for me as expected.
I borrowed some of Niklas' code from this thread:
import c4d
import c4d.gui as gui
import c4d.bitmaps as bitmaps
class Area(gui.GeUserArea) :
def __init__(self, w = 20, h = 20, r = 1, g = 1, b = 1) :
self.bmp = bitmaps.GeClipMap()
self.bmp.Init(w, h)
self.bmp.BeginDraw()
self.w = w
self.h = h
r = int(r * 255)
g = int(g * 255)
b = int(b * 255)
for x in xrange(w) :
for y in xrange(h) :
a = (x * 4 / float(w))**(y / float(h))
try:
a = 1 / (x**2 / float(w)**2) * a
except:
a = 0
a = int(a * 255)
self.bmp.SetPixelRGBA(x, y, r, g, b, a)
self.bmp.EndDraw()
def DrawMsg(self, x1, y1, x2, y2, msg) :
#self.DrawSetPen(c4d.Vector(0, 0, 0)) # changes bg color seen through alpha
w, h = self.w, self.h
self.DrawBitmap(self.bmp.GetBitmap(),
0, 0, w, h, 0, 0, w, h, c4d.BMP_NORMAL | c4d.BMP_ALLOWALPHA)
def GetMinSize(self) :
return self.w, self.h
class Dialog(gui.GeDialog) :
def __init__(self, area) :
self.area = area
def CreateLayout(self) :
self.AddUserArea(1000, c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT | c4d.BFV_SCALEFIT)
self.AttachUserArea(self.area, 1000)
return True
def main() :
area = Area(200, 200, 1.0, 0.66, 0.24)
dlg = Dialog(area)
dlg.Open(c4d.DLG_TYPE_MODAL)
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
The double entry in the Python documentation will be fixed.
For now, I have moved this thread into the Python sub-forum. If you still feel BMP_ALLOWALPHA is buggy, please provide us with some more detail.

Hi Andreas,
I used GeClipMap() before, but no luck.
Confident through Niklas example I investigated further and the error occurred because a negative value was set to ww and wh attribute of the function.
In this special case BMP_NORMAL is valid, while the other modes are not, confusing...
An abs() function or an exception raise would be nice in GeUserArea.DrawBitmap().
thanks,
Martin

Hi Andreas,
thanks for your help,
some additional notes and a working example:
- drawing everything into one clipmap and at the end draw this clipmap to the userarea,
seems to be the only working way of layering several alpha bitmaps on top of each other.
- it is important to set to c4d.GE_CM_DRAWMODE_BLEND in GeClipMap.SetDrawMode(),
otherwise the alpha channel is not being used.
- it is important to overwrite GeUserArea.Sized() ,
otherwise the clipmap won't show up
If you feel like it´s ok, you can mark this thread as solved.

Hi Martin,
thanks for your detailed final conclusion.
Just a note on GeUserArea.Sized() : This function should actually always be implemented for a GeUserArea to properly react to resizing requests (well, if you have elements that need adaption like your bitmap for example).

Hi Andreas,
thanks for the advice.
A last aesthetical kind of question on this subject.
How should this clipmap draw solution draw sharp alphas and typo into the userarea?
The clipmap is always blown up to screen pixels after DrawBitmap .
Is there any solution?
cheers,
Martin

Hi Martin,
I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying the GeClipmap gets modified/scaled by DrawBitmap()?
Looking at your DrawBitmap() call in the code above, you are passing the same GeUserArea width and height into "both" parameters of DrawBitmap(), while actually the second width and height should be the size of your bitmap. Could that be part of the problem?

Hi Andreas,
the clipmap was initialized with the width and height of the userarea. That´s why it makes no difference if I use .Getwidth() from the userarea or .GetBw() from the clipmap.
The example code shows the loss of quality/sharpness comparing drawing text with GeUserArea.DrawText and drawing text on the clipmap and afterwards draw the bitmap from the clipmap.
You can simply replace the following DrawMsg function in my code above, to give it a try.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Martin,
GeClipmap.TextAt() and GeUserArea.DrawText() doesn't give the same result because they use different means to draw text from different contexts.
GeClipmap.TextAt() draws into a bitmap whereas GeUserArea.DrawText() directly draws into the GUI.
(I answered as Andreas left for vacation.)

Hi Yannick,
I see, could you please confirm than that there is either a sup-pixel sampling in drawBitmap or a working alpha draw method missing while drawing several alphas over elements in the user area draw function?
I can´t reach the quality/result I´m aiming for…
