movefileex + win9x + directory emmi20-Sep-05 0:02 emmi 20-Sep-05 0:02  hi, i want to do a latedelte on windows 9x. a directory should be deleted. but it does not work. i use the wininit.ini to delete the direcotry. do i use the wrong code or is this impossible? best regards emmi Re: movefileex + win9x + directory RichardS20-Sep-05 7:50 RichardS 20-Sep-05 7:50  Hi, Have a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fileio/fs/directory_management_functions.asp[^] regards, Rich "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

Can someone tell me ....what kind of algorithm i could use ...to calculate the pixel intensity values ..ie their color ?? I have a image processing book by Gonsalez ...but cant find exactly what i need .... Im supposed to find the pixel intensities of all the pixels in a Jpeg file ...and group all the pixels having the same values ... Please guide me .... Thanks , Jomy Re: An Algorithm !!

Do you mean group by color ? Then you just well, group by color. Otherwise, perhaps you want to convert to the HLS color space, and group by saturation, luminance, or hue ?

VaporTrace19-Sep-05 20:16 VaporTrace 19-Sep-05 20:16  Wouldn't it be easier to bitmap it then recompress it back into the jpeg using the same algorithm format? Re: An Algorithm !! VaporTrace19-Sep-05 20:20 VaporTrace 19-Sep-05 20:20  Wait a minute it just dawned on me what you are doing. You are creating reference for jpeg compression algorithm which means you are working in bitmap already. Re: An Algorithm !! Jomy John19-Sep-05 23:25 Jomy John 19-Sep-05 23:25  actually hoinestly i dunno .... What i am told to do is ... Group information similar to pixels ...and send them in this format as text ...as in SMS .... So , most probably it would be color .... Please help Thanks , Jomy Re: An Algorithm !! Christian Graus20-Sep-05 11:10 Christian Graus 20-Sep-05 11:10  You can get the colour values of a bitmap by using a DIBSection to hold it, or by using GDI+ ( which comes with VC7, is in the PSDK for VC6 ). Or you can use the GetPixel function on the DC, but that's really slow. Also, if you don't use a DIBSection or just a DIB, you won't get an accurate color value range for your image, unless your computer is running in 24 bit mode. So you want to turn an image into text, so it can be sent as ASCII art ? There's at least one article on doing this on this site, do a search for it and your problems may be solved.

Well, if you're using bitmaps in Windows, then you need to use Windows bitmap structures. Jomy John wrote: Im thought of using the getpixel() function but ...its returning me ..integer values Use GetRValue, GetGValue and GetBValue macros to get the colours out of that COLORREF.

Can you please explain in detail ...if its not a botheration .. as in GetRValue , GetBValue ..etc are functions in C++ or VC++ ?? Help !! Sorry for the trouble ..... Thanks, Jomy Re: An Algorithm !! Christian Graus21-Sep-05 9:11 Christian Graus 21-Sep-05 9:11  Jomy John wrote: as in GetRValue , GetBValue ..etc are functions in C++ or VC++ ?? The obvious thing would have been to type them into the IDE and see what happened. A COLORREF is just a DWORD, and the GetXValue macros just use byte shifting to pull out the single color. If you wanted to deal with colors as a unit, rather than the pixel values, you may as well sort/group on the colorref, but if you want to work out what the colors are, you need to pull them out in this way. In all cases, they are specific to Windows, and probably to VC. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ Re: An Algorithm !!

Also , in a Jpeg file ...where do i get the pixel related color information ...as in I scanned the Jpeg file format ...but I cant find a specific offset from where actual pixel information starts .... jpeg is just clustered as headers .....

'plain old C++' knows nothing about images, let alone colours. Jomy John wrote: Also , in a Jpeg file ...where do i get the pixel related color information ...as in I scanned the Jpeg file format ...but I cant find a specific offset from where actual pixel information starts .... Nope, it doesn't work that way. A jpeg is compressed, which means you need to use a library, which means you won't be using 'plain old c++' Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ Re: An Algorithm !!

Although im not sure ..but mebbe hez asking me to do it using C++ , bcos eventually when i want to send my file as an SMS , i have Symbian as my OS ...and mebbe it supports only that compiler ...!!! Anyways , as Jpeg is compressed , like you said .... How would i then read the RGB / YCbCr values ?? Please help me wid this !!! A totally frustrated jomy Re: An Algorithm !! Christian Graus22-Sep-05 12:17 Christian Graus 22-Sep-05 12:17  Jomy John wrote: Is there like no solution for this problem ?? The solution is that your code needs to take an array of color values, and not a bitmap of any sort. Because all bitmap formats fall outside the bounds of 'standard C++'. Jomy John wrote: Anyways , as Jpeg is compressed , like you said .... How would i then read the RGB / YCbCr values ?? Ya just can't. If you're not allowed to use GDI+, I don't see how you could be allowed to use any other library for reading jpegs. I'm sure your teacher knows this, and that you're completely misunderstanding the task at hand. Paintlib is one cross platform library that will let you read jpegs and get the pixel values.

He wants me to learn algorithms ...that will are general to all iamges ... !! ie how an image will be stored on the hdd..it seems there is an algo for that ..that applies to all types of images Does neone have a knowledge abt this ?? Sorry ...abt the confusion created in the above posts .. Thanks , Jomy Re: An Algorithm !!

How an image is stored depends on the format, and is common to all image types only in that, at the end of the day, it's all a bunch of 1s and 0s. There's a variety of compression algorithms used in image formats, but no common one. BMP is one that is not compressed at all. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ Re: An Algorithm !! Jomy John28-Sep-05 15:07 Jomy John 28-Sep-05 15:07  No..im just quoting the stuff my project guide has said ... Like he gave me an example was : When u open a paint application ...draw sumthing in it ..and the "Save As" option gives options to save as a number of file options .. So , there has to be a general algo that applies to all .. Sadly, he had read it in a book ,6-7 yrs back...hehee..whose name he cant recall Re: An Algorithm !!

Yes, there are options. And for each one, the image is encoded differently, that's what makes them options Jomy John wrote: So , there has to be a general algo that applies to all .. Bollocks. The only thing that is general is that you need to use a disk API to write the files, and you need in every case to access the bits of the image, which would generally mean you used a DIBSection, which in turn means you have a pointer to the bitmap. The only algorithm I can thing of is how you traverse those bits. Jomy John wrote: Sadly, he had read it in a book ,6-7 yrs back...hehee..whose name he cant recall How in the HELL can he test you on something he 'read in a book 7 years ago' ?

Johann Gerell20-Sep-05 20:05 Johann Gerell 20-Sep-05 20:05  Assuming that the JPEG is decoded and that you have a raw RGB888 (24 bpp) DWORD-aligned stream: Get a pointer to the first DWORD, pPixel. Assign the color componenent values of that pixel to a COLORREEF, color = *pPixel. Multiply the RGB components to get the intensity (assuming that is the intensity definition...), intensity = GetRValue(color) * GetGValue(color) * GetBValue(color). Store the pixel id and its intensity somehow (defined by you), StorePixelIntensity(id, intensity). Continue to the next pixel, ++pPixel. Goto 1 if there are more pixels. -- The Blog: Bits and Pieces -- modified at 2:05 Wednesday 21st September, 2005 Re: An Algorithm !! Jomy John21-Sep-05 4:39 Jomy John 21-Sep-05 4:39  i have to code purely in C++ ...!!! newes ..using Sir Johann 's method is gud..assuming thats the right defn of intensity .... Anuther thing one of my friends suggested ..was to convert to gray scale ..and check for similar intensity ... Will that be rite ? And all i have with me in C++ , for RGB color extraction is getpixel() ...how do i process my Jpeg file using getpixel as its just returning me single integer values .... That is ... int c = getpixel(0,0) cout << c ; gives me not the typical 32 bit value ...but a single 0 and a series of sets of 0's and 7's when tried for the entire file ! How should i continue ? Thanks Jomy C++ Pointer To Pointer BlitzPackage19-Sep-05 14:57 BlitzPackage 19-Sep-05 14:57  My question is about pointers to pointers. A book I’m using to teach myself C++ uses a function whose first argument is a pointer to a pointer and receives the address of the root pointer into that binary tree class insertion function. It says that it uses the pointer to a pointer in order to modify the pointer's value. In general, why would one ever have to use a pointer to a pointer, instead of just passing the pointer itself? It just seems like a needless extra step to me. The code is posted below: template< class NODETYPE> void Tree<nodetype>::insertNode(const NODETYPE &value) { insertNodeHelper( &rootPtr, value); } template< class NODETYPE> void Tree<nodetype>::insertNodeHelper( TreeNode< NODETYPE> **ptr, const NODETYPE &value) { if(*ptr == 0) *ptr = new TreeNode< NODETYPE> (value); else if (value < (*ptr)->data) insertNodeHelper(&((*ptr)->leftPtr), value); else if (value >(*ptr)->data) insertNodeHelper(&((*ptr)->rightPtr), value); else cout << value << " dup" << endl; } Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. Re: C++ Pointer To Pointer prasad_som19-Sep-05 19:03 prasad_som 19-Sep-05 19:03  passing pointer to any function passes copy of that pointer. It will give problem when you change the variable it is addressing. Good article is present on CP,which has explained with example the problem. http://www.codeproject.com/cpp/PtrToPtr.asp#1[^]
