creating an image from CImage

[lemonsF]

Greetings All,

simple question, I have raw image data ( unsigned char* ), image height and width, and all the relevant info for the image and I need to use CImage to save a Jpg file...

Saving the image is fine, but what I can't figure out is how to create a CImage and give it the raw image data, if this can be done with as little microsoftisms as possible that would be nice ( although I figure this isn't the case! )...

Any help on this matter would be appreciated....

unsigned char* ptr;    // this has image data
unsigned int width;
unsigned int height;

CImage image;

// what goes here???
// or more specifically, how can I use the above vars in this CImage....

image.Save( "myImage.jpg", Gdiplus::ImageFormatJPEG );

Many thanks.

Use CImage::Create() to set the height, width, and BPP, then use CImage::GetBits() to get a pointer to the actual bits. Use this pointer as a destination and copy your bit data to the destination. One caveat: the actual pixel buffer is a "bottom-up" buffer so GetBits() will return a pointer near the end of the pixel buffer. You fill the buffer "backwards" so to speak. See:

Ok, many thanks hoxsiew for your reply....

It all makes sense theoretically, however, you can probably guess what my problem is... getting a black image. Am I doing this right? I'm not to bothered at the mo about orientation.

unsigned char* ptr;    // this has image data
unsigned int width;
unsigned int height;

CImage image;

image.Create( width, height, 32 );
unsigned char* imagePtr = static_cast< unsigned char* >( image.GetBits() );
imagePtr -= ( width * height );
*imagePtr = *ptr;

image.Save( "myImage.jpg", Gdiplus::ImageFormatJPEG );

Many thanks for your help...

Oooops... school boy error...

for ( unsigned int i = 0 ; i < ( width * height ); ++i )
{
	*imagePtr = *ptr;
        --imagePtr;
	++ptr;
}

Getting closer.......i'll be there in a bit
