I'm doing some draws that are repetitive, and each of them gives lot of work.
What i need to do is rotate the drawing half-way its definition, something like this:
using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bmp))
{
//define area do pictureBox e preenche a branco
Brush brush = new SolidBrush(Color.White);
Rectangle area = new Rectangle(0, 0, 520, 520);
g.FillRectangle(brush, area);
//rotate
g.RotateTransform(some angle, some reference point)
//draw some more lines on the top of the rotated previous ones.
}
I tried using g.RotateTransform(90) as there is that function in Winforms, but it didn't change anything. Why??
Any tip?
Edit: if it helps, i only need to rotate fixed angles, 180ยบ
RotateTransform certainly does change the subsequent drawing.
Note that you usually need a TranslateTransform before to set the rotation point. But it 'it didn't change anything' is certainly wrong. Try again! And yes you can rotate (or scale or move) at any point and move/turn it back or completely reset the Graphics object.
And yes, learning about Matrix and MultiplyTransform is also very helpful..
But: You need to understand the Graphics object does not contain any graphic, a common misconception! It is the tool which does the drawing on a Bitmap, most often the surface of a Control. So the rotation will happen but only for the things you draw after:
private void panel1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(25, 25, 25, 25);
e.Graphics.TranslateTransform(25, 25);
e.Graphics.FillRectangle(Brushes.Red, rect);
for (int i = 0; i < 15; i++)
{
rect.Inflate(2, 2);
e.Graphics.TranslateTransform(5, 2);
e.Graphics.RotateTransform(2.5f);
e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(Pens.Blue, rect);
}
}
Try this:
use these references:
using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Drawing.Drawing2D;
using System.Windows.Forms;
I made windows application and put on form1 picturebox then this is the code in form_load:
//Load an image in from a file
Bitmap pImage = new Bitmap(Environment.CurrentDirectory + #"\Image.bmp", true);
//Set our picture box to that image
pictureBox1.Image = (Bitmap)pImage.Clone();
//Store our old image so we can delete it
Image oldImage = pictureBox1.Image;
//Pass in our original image and return a new image rotated 35 degrees right
pictureBox1.Image = RotateImage(pImage, 270);
if (oldImage != null)
{
oldImage.Dispose();
}
Then make static function with parameters of image and rotation angle return the rotated image and call it from form_load as mentioned before :
if (image == null)
{
throw new ArgumentNullException("image");
}
else
{
//create a new empty bitmap to hold rotated image
Bitmap rotatedBmp = new Bitmap(image.Width, image.Height);
rotatedBmp.SetResolution(image.HorizontalResolution, image.VerticalResolution);
//make a graphics object from the empty bitmap
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(rotatedBmp);
//move rotation point to center of image
g.TranslateTransform((float)image.Width / 2, (float)image.Height / 2);
//rotate
g.RotateTransform(angle);
//move image back
g.TranslateTransform(-(float)image.Width / 2, -(float)image.Height / 2);
//draw passed in image onto graphics object
g.DrawImage(image, new PointF(0, 0));
return rotatedBmp;
}
You can also use directly the code in form_load by using ready RotateFlipType (Enumeration type) but this with fixed angles like 90,270,.... but the previous method you can use any integer values to rotate the image :
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Load an image in from a file
Bitmap pImage = new Bitmap(Environment.CurrentDirectory + #"\Image.bmp", true);
pImage.RotateFlip(RotateFlipType.Rotate90FlipXY);
pictureBox1.Image = pImage;
}

I am developing an application for image processing. To zoom the image, I enlarge PictureBox. But after enlarging I get below image as result.
But I want result like below image
Here is my Code :
picturebox1.Size = new Size((int)(height * zoomfactor), (int)
(width* zoomfactor));
this.picturebox1.Refresh();
The PictureBox by itself will always create a nice and smooth version.
To create the effect you want you need to draw zoomed versions yourself. In doing this you need to set the
Graphics.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.NearestNeighbor;
Then no blurring will happen..
Example:
private void trackBar1_Scroll(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Bitmap bmp = (Bitmap)pictureBox1.Image;
Size sz = bmp.Size;
Bitmap zoomed = (Bitmap)pictureBox2.Image;
if (zoomed != null) zoomed.Dispose();
float zoom = (float)(trackBar1.Value / 4f + 1);
zoomed = new Bitmap((int)(sz.Width * zoom), (int)(sz.Height * zoom));
using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(zoomed))
{
if (cbx_interpol.Checked) g.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.NearestNeighbor;
g.PixelOffsetMode = PixelOffsetMode.Half;
g.DrawImage(bmp, new Rectangle( Point.Empty, zoomed.Size) );
}
pictureBox2.Image = zoomed;
}
Of course you need to avoid setting the PBox to Sizemode Zoom or Stretch!
I have a picture I want to print, but it's too big for one page
so i have decided to split it into multiple images
i have tried a method, but now im using this (Talha Irfan answer)
i also tried the other solutions there but those didnt worked as well
(ex. bm.Clone(rec, bm.PixelFormat);)
and here's my code(this is on non-form class)
Bitmap bm = new Bitmap(frmPrint.Width, frmPrint.Height);
Rectangle rec = new Rectangle(0, 200, 576, 300);
Bitmap bitmap = cropImg(bm, rec);
frmPrint.DrawToBitmap(bitmap, rec);
frmPrint._img = bitmap;
frmPrint.setImage();
and setImage function(on some form)
public void setImage()
{
pictureBox3.BackgroundImage = _img;
this.ShowDialog();
}
and cropImg is the same as cropAtRect
the below shows the original image (on the left)
the wanted result in the blue rectangle
and the actual result on the right
PS
my actual image size is (height = 698, wifht = 576)
Edit - as suggested below
on non-form class
Rectangle cropRect = new Rectangle(0, 0, 576, 698);
Bitmap target = new Bitmap(cropRect.Width, cropRect.Height, bm.PixelFormat);
frmPrint.setImage(bm, target, cropRect);
target.Dispose();
at form class
public void setImage(Bitmap src, Bitmap target, Rectangle cropRect)
{
pictureBox3.Visible = false;
using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(target))
{
g.DrawImage(src, new Rectangle(pictureBox3.Location.X, pictureBox3.Location.Y, target.Width, target.Height),
cropRect,
GraphicsUnit.Pixel);
}
this.ShowDialog();
}
Control.DrawToBitmap will always try to draw the whole control or form and will always start at the top. The parameter:
targetBounds
Type: System.Drawing.Rectangle
The bounds within which the control is rendered.
as the name implies, sets the target, not the source rectangle. Hence the white space above your result.
Move the line before cropping with a rectangle that holds the full area, maybe like this:
DrawToBitmap(bm, ClientRectangle);
and then crop the lower part as before..
Note that the cropping trick from your link will not work for DrawToBitmap; using a rectangle with a negative offset will cause a parameter exception.
Btw: to safely dispose of a Bitmap in a PictureBox use this:
Bitmap dummy = (Bitmap )somePictureBox.Image;
somePictureBox.Image = null;
if (dummy != null) dummy.Dispose;
And, indeed, the answer by ChrisJJ in the link leaks the Graphics object.
Update:
Since you seem to have lost control over the various changes and suggestions, here is the minimal code change from the original post:
Bitmap bm = new Bitmap(frmPrint.ClientWidth, frmPrint.ClientHeight);
DrawToBitmap(bm, frmPrint.ClientRectangle);
Rectangle rec = new Rectangle(0, 200, 576, 300);
Bitmap bitmap = cropImg(bm, rec);
frmPrint._img = bitmap;
frmPrint.setImage();
With:
public void setImage()
{
Bitmap dummy = pictureBox3.BackgroundImage;
pictureBox3.BackgroundImage = null;
if (dummy != bnull) dummy.Dispose();
pictureBox3.BackgroundImage = _img;
this.ShowDialog();
}
In the cropImg function add a g.Dispose before returning.
Hello i am in problem with drawing in picturebox. I am trying to draw over a picturebox. picturebox contains an image.I draw a sine wave using drawline method. when the wave reaches the end of the width of picturebox then i use
g.Clear(pictureBox1.BackColor);
this clears the wave over the picturebox.But the problem is it also clears the image of the picturebox.I want draw a wave over a image and then clears it when it reaches the picturebox.width and again starts from the initial position. please help!
Graphics g;
g = pictureBox1.CreateGraphics();
g.DrawLine(System.Drawing.Pens.Crimson, ti, old_gval1, ti + trackBar1.Value, gval1);
usb.SpecifiedDevice.SendData(OUTBuffer);
old_gval1 = gval1;
ti = ti + trackBar1.Value;
if (ti > pictureBox1.Width) {
ti = 0;
g.Clear(pictureBox1.BackColor);
g.DrawLine(System.Drawing.Pens.Gray, 0, ((pictureBox1.Height - 1) - (gnd_val) * ((pictureBox1.Height - 10) / 1023f)), pictureBox1.Width, ((pictureBox1.Height - 1) - (gnd_val) * ((pictureBox1.Height - 10) / 1023f)));
g.DrawLine(System.Drawing.Pens.Gray, pictureBox1.Width / 2, 0, pictureBox1.Width/ 2,pictureBox1.Height);
}
You can use a special feature of the PictureBox:
It has not only the Image everybody is using but also a BackgroundImage usually overlooked.
You can paint freely on the Image and still keep a BackgroundImage untouched.
Obviosly you need to paint on a transparent Bitmap.
Here is some code:
// load the background image:
this.pictureBox1.BackgroundImage = new Bitmap(yourImageFileName);
// prepare the image:
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(pictureBox1.Width, pictureBox1.Height);
using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bmp) )
{
g.FillRectangle(Brushes.Transparent, new Rectangle(Point.Empty, bmp.Size) );
}
pictureBox1.Image = bmp;
Now paint stuff:
Random R = new Random();
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Image bmp = pictureBox2.Image;
using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bmp))
{
g.DrawEllipse(Pens.Blue, R.Next(33), R.Next(33), R.Next(500), R.Next(500));
g.DrawEllipse(Pens.Red, R.Next(33), R.Next(33), R.Next(500), R.Next(500));
g.DrawEllipse(Pens.White, R.Next(33), R.Next(33), R.Next(500), R.Next(500));
}
pictureBox2.Image = bmp;
}
When your plotting has reached the right edge you would use a call to FillRectangle(Brushes.Transparent,.. to clear the foreground image and reset your x value.
Sounds like the cheapest solution to your problem.
You have two options here.
You could create your graphics from the image using Graphics.FromImage, then assign the image from that to the picture box.
Draw the image into your new Graphics object using Graphics.DrawImage.
It sounds like the latter might be a bit more appropriate for you, since you aren't actually altering the in-memory image. So every time you clear the Graphics instance, just draw in the Image.
I want to rotate an image in the picture box. Here is my code.
public static Bitmap RotateImage(Image image, PointF offset, float angle)
{
if (image == null)
{
throw new ArgumentNullException("image");
}
var rotatedBmp = new Bitmap(image.Width, image.Height);
rotatedBmp.SetResolution(image.HorizontalResolution, image.VerticalResolution);
var g = Graphics.FromImage(rotatedBmp);
g.TranslateTransform(offset.X, offset.Y);
g.RotateTransform(angle);
g.TranslateTransform(-offset.X, -offset.Y);
g.DrawImage(image, new PointF(0, 0));
return rotatedBmp;
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Image image = new Bitmap(pictureBox1.Image);
pictureBox1.Image = (Bitmap)image.Clone();
var oldImage = pictureBox1.Image;
var p = new Point(image.Width / 2, image.Height);
pictureBox1.Image = null;
pictureBox1.Image = RotateImage(image, p, 1);
pictureBox1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.CenterImage;
pictureBox1.Refresh();
if (oldImage != null)
{
oldImage.Dispose();
}
}
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Image image = new Bitmap(pictureBox1.Image);
pictureBox1.Image = (Bitmap)image.Clone();
var oldImage = pictureBox1.Image;
var p = new Point(image.Width / 2, image.Height);
pictureBox1.Image = null;
pictureBox1.Image = RotateImage(image, p, -1);
pictureBox1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.CenterImage;
pictureBox1.Refresh();
if (oldImage != null)
{
oldImage.Dispose();
}
}
Now the problem is that when I rotate the image it gets cut. Here is the situation.
I have stretched the picture box and changed the colour of form just for clear picture.
My question is when I have used the statement
pictureBox1.Image = RotateImage(image, p, 1);
Then why is the picture not getting right after postion as this is the same statement used for any situation where we have to assign some image to groupbox. Why is not it working here? I have searched it before but the most of the searches seem irrelevant to me because they use filip function which rotate through 90,180,270. But I want to rotate by some degree maximum upto 10 degree.
Rotating Controls is not something supported by default (links talking about this: link1, link2). The reason why the picture gets cut is because, after the rotation, its width is bigger than the pictureBox1 one; thus a quick solution would be updating its size after the rotation:
pictureBox1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.AutoSize; //Adapts the size automatically
or
pictureBox1.Width = image.Width;
pictureBox1.Height = image.Height;
This should be an acceptable solution (there has to be enough free space to account for the new dimensions of the image after being rotated anyway). The other option would be affecting the PictureBox control directly (by affecting the rectangle defining its boundaries, for example) what would be much more difficult.
Well i have come to know that win Forms are not meant for any transformations and rotations.Changing the mode to AutoSize does not make a difference. The best thing for rotation and transformation is WPF.
WPF has a good transformation classes which rotate and transform objects without affecting the object. The object does not get blurred.
You can use This for rotations and transformations.
I have an image .I want to crop 10 px from left and 10px from right of the image.I used the below code to do so
string oldImagePath="D:\\RD\\dotnet\\Images\\photo1.jpg";
Bitmap myOriginalImage = (Bitmap)Bitmap.FromFile(oldImagePath);
int newWidth = myOriginalImage.Width;
int newHeight = myOriginalImage.Height;
Rectangle cropArea = new Rectangle(10,0, newWidth-10, newHeight);
Bitmap target = new Bitmap(cropArea.Width, cropArea.Height);
using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(target))
{
g.DrawImage(myOriginalImage,cropArea);
}
target.Save("D:\\RD\\dotnet\\Images\\test.jpg");
But this is not giving me the results which i expect. This outputs an image which has 10 px cropped from the right and a resized image.Instead of cropiing it is resizing the width i think.So the image is shrinked(by width). Can any one correct me ? Thanks in advance
Your new width should be reduced by twice the crop margin, since you'll be chopping off that amount from both sides.
Next, when drawing the image into the new one, draw it at a negative offset. This causes the area that you aren't interested in to be clipped off.
int cropX = 10;
Bitmap target = new Bitmap(myOriginalImage.Width - 2*cropX, myOriginalImage.Height);
using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(target))
{
g.DrawImage(myOriginalImage, -cropX, 0);
}
My guess is this line
Rectangle cropArea = new Rectangle(10,0, newWidth-10, newHeight);
should be
Rectangle cropArea = new Rectangle(10,0, newWidth-20, newHeight);
Set the width of the new rectangle to be 20 less than the original - 10 for each side.
Some indication what result it is giving you would be helpful in confirming this.
Corey Ross is correct. Alternately, you can translate along the negative x axis and render at 0.0, 0.0. Should produce identical results.
using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(target))
{
g.TranslateTransform(-cropX, 0.0f);
g.DrawImage(myOriginalImage, 0.0f, 0.0f);
}
You need to use the overload that has you specify both Destination Rectangle, and Source Rectangle.
Below is an interactive form of this using a picture box on a form. It allows you to drag the image around. I suggest making the picture box 100 x 100 and have a much larger image such as a full screen window you've captured with alt-prtscr.
class Form1 : Form
{
// ...
Image i = new Bitmap(#"C:\Users\jasond\Pictures\foo.bmp");
Point lastLocation = Point.Empty;
Size delta = Size.Empty;
Point drawLocation = Point.Empty;
bool dragging = false;
private void pictureBox1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left)
{
if (!dragging)
{
lastLocation = e.Location;
dragging = true;
}
delta = new Size(lastLocation.X - e.Location.X, lastLocation.Y - e.Location.Y);
lastLocation = e.Location;
if (!delta.IsEmpty)
{
drawLocation.X += delta.Width;
drawLocation.Y += delta.Height;
pictureBox1.Invalidate();
}
}
else
{
dragging = false;
}
}
private void pictureBox1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{
Rectangle source = new Rectangle(drawLocation,pictureBox1.ClientRectangle.Size);
e.Graphics.DrawImage(i,pictureBox1.ClientRectangle,source, GraphicsUnit.Pixel);
}
//...
Okay, I totally fail at explaining this, but hang on:
The DrawImage function requires the location of the image, as well as it's position. You need a second position for cropping as how the old relates to the new, not vice versa.
That was entirely incomprehensible, but here is the code.
g.DrawImage(myOriginalImage, -cropArea.X, -cropArea.Y);
I hope that explains it more then I did.
