Ok, I came up with the exact steps. It really shouldn't be that hard. It would be extremely helpful if someone would convert this to a source, but any help with specific parts would be helpful too.
Picture folder is working directory + /Textures/
PictureBox displays a picture from the Picture folder
The Down and Up buttons make the picturebox cycle forwards and backwards through the pictures
The export button returns the current picturebox picture, finds the .tex file with the same name, exports it to a specific directory on the SD card in a folder based on the first 2 digits in the name and renames the file to *00.tex
For an example, in the working directory there is a folder called Textures. The program looks in Textures for any .jpg file and opens it, we'll say it's 02cattexture.jpg. The user doesn't like it so he presses the down button and the program finds the next picture in the folder; it happens to be 01dogtexture.jpg. The user likes the texture and clicks export. The program then looks at the picture and finds the .tex extension equivalent in the same folder. Because the filename has 01 on the front, the program will copy (not move!) it to SD:/textures/dogtex/ and will rename it to dog00.tex. if the filename started with 02, it would copy it to SD:/textures/cattex/ and rename it cat00.tex. Oh, and if there's already a file with that name on the SD card, it overwrite it.

Not to be funny but it sounds to me like you have no clue of how to program. You have the basic idea of what you want to do but don't know how to write the code. Maybe a good Book for C# beginners??

You almost got it  I'm extremely well versed in gml, and I'm learning quite a bit about linux shell script and little python, but like I said, other than making hello world and a half functional calculator, I'm just about completely lost in C#. I can't stay focused on reading my C# book, and I learn by doing and seeing. Unfortunately, I do not see any examples that will help me, and I've tried so many times and have gotten so many errors during compiling, that I gave up trying. I figured you guys could probably write up my answer in five minutes or at least point me in the right direction, so I came here. Like I said, any help is greatly appreciated, but if no one can (or is willing) to help, then I'll be on my way.

After a simple Google search you will find this[^].

Wow, I googled for quite a while and never saw this. Might I ask what exactly you googled? Anyhow, this will be a big help, thanks

I think the "motto" of the site is show what you have done and where your problem is and the guys will help. There are a few sites with Video Tuts if that would help. Check this site. Development for Beginners[^]

Hi people,
I want to have a print button in my GUI to print the contents of a panel (control drawn using Graphics class) perhaps to take a screenshot of the panel and print it out as an image.
Does anyone have any idea how I can do this?
Cheers

I was working on some image filtering when I saw a problem in my output. After a little while I noticed two possible problems with the code after fixing one of them the output was, strangely enough, correct.
Here's a part of the code:
public struct Pixel
{
public byte r;
public byte g;
public byte b;
public static bool operator >(Pixel p1,Pixel p2)
{
return p1.r + p1.g + p1.b > p2.r + p2.g + p2.b;
}
}
Now my thought here was that since the r,g and b values are bytes, adding them could cause an overflow of the byte. For example: 128,128,128 would add up to 128 and would cause 64+64+64 to be greater then the second example since it adds up to 192 (192>128). However this does not seem to be the case, 128,128,128 seems to add up to 384 which would be impossible with a byte, so is the + operator actually changing my byte to a (u)long, (u)int or (u)short internally. Has anyone found any documentation on this issue, and can I expect this to work on any implementation of c#?

Hi,
expressions involving 8-bit or 16-bit integer variables (such as the bytes in a pixel) get computed using 32-bit integers, so there is an automatic promotion from byte to int, and the sum is an int. In your case, overflow is not possible.
BTW: this is not only true for C#, it holds true for all C-like languages such as C, C++, Java

Thanks for your input!
I expected the byte to still behave as a true (8 bits) byte, does this also mean that ints work faster on a 32-bit machine then bytes do since a byte has to be processed to behave as a byte, example:
byte b = (byte)0x04 + (byte)0x10;
would be roughly translated to:
int b = 0xff &((byte)0x04+(byte)0x10);
And would a byte[12] take up the same amount of memory as an int[12] would, or would a byte array simply be a pointer to a field thats of the size int[3]

That is a lot of questions.
1. speed
Smaller variables typically don't get processed any faster or slower. Modern CPUs are capable of dealing with them very well. And storing the lowest byte or short of an integer is exactly the same as storing a byte or short, i.e. there are instructions that deal with the lower part of a register.
2. memory cost
For single variables, the size is not really important. It only becomes important when you have a lot of them, as in large arrays. In general an array takes a number of bytes equal to the number of elements times the size (in bytes) of a single element. So int[12] is four times larger than byte[12].
Conclusion: don't bother choosing byte/short/int until it becomes relevant, e.g. because:
- you want the overflow to occur (a value that should wrap from 255 to 0 can best be a byte)
- you want to preserve memory (as in images that may hold thousands or millions of pixels)

Thanks a lot!
Since the size of the pictures I'm dealing with is fairly large (up to 5MP on current devices) and the ammount of memory and CPU power is generally low (PPC's are not that fast), I have had to really keep down on the CPU load and memory usage. I've found your comments to be very helpful.

i have an image of space from which i have to detect objects like stars,so i have to read each pixel's value in image and compare its each pixel's value with its neighbor pixels,if those pixels have same value then those pixels can be one star in space
|

It may not be as simple as that. A lot will depend on the quality of your images, and what was used to produce them, and a star will generally not be a simple area of pixels of the same value.
If you want to start writing astronomical image processing software, you should take a close look at a good selection of images from different sources and devices.

Unless the image is in single bit depth, or heavily processed it won't be.
Raw images in prosumer astronomy cameras are 12/16bit color depth, and since typical pixels are sized to have a capacity of between 40-100k electrons sampling noise is a factor in addition to the quantum noise of the chip itself.
Even ignoring noise, unless a star is perfectly centered on the corner between 4 pixels; and the pixels are large enough that all of the diffraction rings are completely on those 4 pixels; and the camera is anti-bloom* or the pixels aren't saturated; or the camera is non anti-bloom and you're only interested in IDing the middle of stars that have bloomed.
* normal daylight use cameras have a gap between each pixel on the sensor to keep them from blooming, this results in roughly 50% of the light falling on dead parts of the chip. For taking images of bright objects this doesn't matter (daylight, moon, planets), but doubles your exposure time for everything else. As a result most astrocams use chips that can bloom and require the user to combine multiple short exposures in post-processing. For most purposes this works better, the only exceptions being trying to image a very faint object next to a very bright one (eg the flame nebula (background for the horsehead)).

Search the articles for "Image processing for dummies". Christian Graus put together a nice set of articles on the subject.

You're actually thinking the wrong way, you should not compare the pixels to the ones of their neighbours because the stars can be bigger then x pixels.
The easiest way to do this is to convert the image to a binary image first. What you should do is calculate the average pixel value of the image and then creating a bool array of the same size of the image, anything higher then the average becomes true, anything lower becomes false. Then you'll want to do something like labelling to differentiate between different stars so you can cut them out or do whatever you need to do with them.
A tip in advance:
Don't use the getPixel and setPixel methods of the Bitmap, use the LockBits and UnlockBits functions, they are a lot faster..

Dear terradtc,
thanks for suggesting about lockBits and UnlockBits,basically this is an assignment which our teacher has assigned to do in python using OpenCV library,but unfortunately i don't have any idea about python so i thought i should do it in C#,so kindly if you can give me a code example it would be appreciating,
thanks in Advance

You should talk to your teacher before changing languages, learning python may be what he wants from you.
If the images are from a specific set he provided, a more simplistic approach may well work.
