I want to know how to set the first parameter?

I have a bitmap image representing a button. I would like to use this same bitmap to represent different states of the button, in particular the default, mouseover and clicked states. Default is the bitmap as it is, but for the other two states I need to make the bitmap slightly lighter and darker. I am doing this by looping through the pixels and manipulating the RGB values.
To make it darker I use this simple formula
crPixel = RGB(
GetRValue(crPixel) * 0.8,
GetGValue(crPixel) * 0.8,
GetBValue(crPixel) * 0.8 );
Multiplying by 0.8 gives the desired effect. But for a lighter bitmap, I try multiplying by 1.2 which doesn't work. The bitmap appears green rather than lighter. Does anybody know the correct formula for adding white to a pixel?

The issue is that the human eye percieves different colors differently, if you google for a greyscale filter ( or read my C# image processing articles ), you'll get the ratios you need.
I'm not sure if you're using a DIBSECTION, if you aren't, you should.

Sorry, I tend to stay clear of the C# articles. I already had the grayscale filter in place for the disabled button style. As for the DIB's, not yet. Most of the code is in place for it, as soon as it's working, then I will add the tweaks.

*grin* Yeah, if you touch that stuff, the stains are murder to get out.

You'll use DIBs ? A DIBSection is a magical DIB that can still be selected into a DC and drawn that way.

Are you making sure the RGB values don't go over 255?

That was probably the problem. I changed the formula so that it alphablends a white pixel, works fine now
crPixel = RGB(
GetRValue(crPixel) * dBlend + (1-dBlend) * 0xff,
GetGValue(crPixel) * dBlend + (1-dBlend) * 0xff,
GetBValue(crPixel) * dBlend + (1-dBlend) * 0xff );

convert the RGB to HLS ( or the other one ) and just play with the lightness value.
|
|
|
|
|
It is relatively easy to accomplish this if you calculate a HSL (Hue, Saturation and Luminosity) value based on the RGB value. Then modify the L-value, and convert back to RGB. There are tonnes of algorithms on the web for doing this. The only drawback is that it is quite slow, since all the algorithms I've seen so far, use floating point numbers for HSL values.
In any case, it's not equivalent to applying a linear factor on each RGB color component. Been there, done that. It works well on some color nuances, but will look like crap most of the time.

Thanks for the info, but in the case of my app it's a little of an overkill. I just need a very simple way to extend on a default image in the case a user did not specify one.

Just make sure you look at all the processed bitmaps before you commit. You may be surprised at the result in some cases (I was!)

first, change your #define to const float/int/ ( or better const double )
second, your #define h ends with a ; is that on purpose ?

Thanks for your mail. I have corrected it and it work. Now, i've written the code further but I got this error ('RK1' : undeclared identifier ). How can this be resolved.
Also, do i need a constructor?
Thanks.

SKG.

geez ... C++ 101
I will not directly answer this.
Where is RK1 declarer ? and how do you access it ?

Thanks for your mail.
Unfortunately, i'm new to C++ programming and again, I jumped from beginner to advanced with this code that i'm writing. I used to program in Java.
If it were to be Java, I know that i'm supposed to write something like
RK1 = new RK1
but I don't know how to do this stuffs in C++.
Please, tell me what to do.
I actually have four equations to code but I decide (following my supervisor's advice) to start with one. Then, i'll add the second class, later the third class and lastly, the fourth.
Once again, thank you.
Regards,
Olagoke.

You posted this same code three separate times. Why? Post it once and reference all others to it.

Have you considered breaking this up into more manageable statements? If so, you'd see that the parenthesis are not paired up. When using floating-point constants, it helps to use denote them as such (e.g., 2.0*m2, r2/4.0).
All that aside, I'm not seeing the benefit of using classes just yet. So far, calling a bunch of functions is all that's necessary.
Your code is mixing float and double. Why?
