    Default Some questions regarding image manipulation (.net -> QT)

    Hio, i just started with QT and I want to port some of my stuff from win to mac.

    But currently I'm a bit stuck at this point:

    I use lockbits in vb.net to get the most speed to manipulate images (as far as I know this should be the fastest way in vb.net). This is a small example how to invert an image

    Qt Code:
    1. Public Shared Function Invert_Image(ByVal doImage As Bitmap) As Bitmap
    2.  
    3. Dim imageData As BitmapData = doImage.LockBits(New Rectangle(0, 0, doImage.Width, doImage.Height), _
    4. System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageLockMode.ReadWrite, PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb)
    5.  
    6. Dim pointer0 As IntPtr = imageData.Scan0
    7. Dim stride As Integer = imageData.Stride
    8.  
    9. Dim pixels(doImage.Width * doImage.Height - 1) As Integer
    10.  
    11. Copy(pointer0, pixels, 0, pixels.Length)
    12.  
    13. For i As Integer = 0 To pixels.Length - 1
    14. pixels(i) = (Not pixels(i) And &HFFFFFF) Or (pixels(i) And &HFF000000)
    15. Next i
    16.  
    17. Copy(pixels, 0, pointer0, pixels.Length)
    18.  
    19. doImage.UnlockBits(imageData)
    20.  
    21. Return doImage
    22. End Function
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    And this is the point where my questions starts...is there a similar way to manipulate images in QT?
    I've read the documentation for QImage but I still don't understand wether QImage got something like this lockbits or wether QT got maybe some even faster methode.

    Would some one clarify this to me maybe with some small example?

    Thx in advance

    Yes, see QImage::bits().

    Example:

    Qt Code:
    1. quint32 *p = (quint32*)image->bits();
    2. quint32 *end = (quint32*)(image->bits() + image->byteCount());
    3. uint xorbits = 0x00ffffff;
    4.  
    5. while (p < end)
    6. *p++ ^= xorbits;
    7.  
    8. QImage fixedImage(resultSize, QImage::Format_ARGB32_Premultiplied);
    9. QPainter painter(&fixedImage);
    10. painter.drawImage(imagePos(*image), *image);
    11. painter.end();
    12. ui->label->setPixmap(QPixmap::fromImage(fixedImage));
    13.  
    14. *image = fixedImage;
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    Where image is a QImage pointer.
    And ui->label is a QLabel.

  4. The following user says thank you to tbscope for this useful post:

    thx for the answers.
    But is this the fastest way to manipulate an image using QT(i mean not using some asm inside QT)?

    i gonna test this later tbscope, thx

    Yes, this is the fastest way. bits() gives you direct access to pixel data.
