Xlib: resize window containing a pixmap - c

Related to how-to-resize-a-pixmap-with-xlib.
As it was concluded in the abovementioned topic, it's impossible to resize a pixmap. What about window, after pixmap is copied into it? In the example below, everything is good up to the point where the window is being resized. The icon is drawn after it's copied into the window, but is lost after the window is resized. Am I missing something here or there really is no way whatsoever to resize pixmap content?
Context: trying to add the client icons into the tabs for the dwm's tab patch.
unsigned int px_w, px_h, dummy_i;
Window icon_w, dummy_w;
Pixmap getWindowIcon (Window *w) {
XWMHints *wmh;
Pixmap pxmp = NULL;
if(wmh = XGetWMHints(dpy, w)) {
pxmp = wmh->icon_pixmap;
XFree(wmh);
}
return pxmp;
}
Pixmap client_icon = getWindowIcon(current_window); // current_window is already existing Window instance
// find the pixmap dimensions and store in px_w, px_h:
XGetGeometry(dpy, client_icon, &dummy_w, &dummy_i, &dummy_i, &px_w, &px_h, &dummy_i, &dummy_i );
icon_w = XCreateSimpleWindow(dpy, root_window, 0, 0, px_w, px_h, 0, 0, color);
XMapRaised(dpy, icon_w);
// copy pixmap to the newly created win:
XCopyArea(dpy, client_icon, icon_w, cellDC.gc, 0, 0, px_w, px_h, 0, 0);
// resize - after which the pixmap is lost in the window:
XResizeWindow(dpy, icon_w, px_w+1, px_h+1);

Rotating sprite with a center of rotation in SDL2

I want to rotate a sprite in C and SDL2, with a set center of rotation, and without scaling or anti-aliasing.
My game resolution is 320x240, and the display is scaled up when I set the game to full screen, because I'm using SDL_RenderSetLogicalSize(renderer, 320, 240).
Using SDL2's SDL_RenderCopyEx() (or SDL_RenderCopyExF()) to rotate a SDL_Texture.
As shown in this example ( https://imgur.com/UGNDfEY ) when the window is set to full screen, the texture is scaled up and at much higher resolution. Is would like the final 320x240 rendering to be scaled up, not the individual textures.
Using SDL_gfx's rotozoomSurface() was a possible alternative.
However, as shown in this example ( https://imgur.com/czPEUhv ), while this method give the intended low-resolution and aliased look, it has no center of rotation, and renders the transparency color as half-transparent black.
Is there a function that does what I'm looking for? Are there some tricks to get around that?
What I would do is to render what you want to in a SDL_Texture, and then print this texture into the renderer, using something like :
// Set 'your_texture' as target
SDL_SetRenderTarget(your_renderer, your_texture);
// We are now printing the rotated image on the texture
SDL_RenderCopyEx(your_renderer, // we still use the renderer; it will be automatically printed into the texture 'your_texture'
your_image,
&srcrect,
&dstrect,
angle,
&center,
SDL_FLIP_NONE); // unless you want to flip vertically / horizontally
// Set the renderer as target and print the previous texture
SDL_SetRenderTarget(your_renderer, NULL);
SDL_RenderClear(your_renderer);
SDL_RenderCopy (your_renderer, your_texture, NULL, NULL); // here the scale is automatically done
SDL_RenderPresent(your_renderer);
It works, but I don't know if it is very efficient.
Don't forget to define your_texture with a SDL_TEXTUREACCESS_TARGET access.
Hope this helps,

Thanks to #Durza42, here's the solution to my problem:
#define kScreenWidth 320
#define kScreenHeight 240
SDL_Window* g_window = NULL;
SDL_Texture* g_texture = NULL;
SDL_Renderer* g_renderer = NULL;
SDL_Texture* g_sprite = NULL;
double g_sprite_angle = 0.0;
SDL_FRect g_sprite_frect = {
.x = 50.0f,
.y = 50.0f,
.w = 32.0f,
.h = 32.0f,
};
void
sdl_load(void)
{
SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);
g_window = SDL_CreateWindow(NULL, SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED, SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED, kScreenWidth, kScreenHeight, 0);
g_renderer = SDL_CreateRenderer(g_window, -1, SDL_RENDERER_PRESENTVSYNC);
g_texture = SDL_CreateTexture(g_renderer, SDL_PIXELFORMAT_RGBA8888, SDL_TEXTUREACCESS_TARGET, kScreenWidth, kScreenHeight);
SDL_RenderSetLogicalSize(g_renderer, kScreenWidth, kScreenHeight);
}
void
sprite_load(void)
{
g_sprite = IMG_LoadTexture(g_renderer, "./sprite.png");
}
void
draw(void)
{
SDL_SetRenderTarget(g_renderer, g_texture);
SDL_RenderClear(g_renderer);
SDL_RenderCopyExF(g_renderer, g_sprite, NULL, &g_sprite_frect, g_sprite_angle, NULL, SDL_FLIP_NONE);
SDL_SetRenderTarget(g_renderer, NULL);
SDL_RenderClear(g_renderer);
SDL_RenderCopy(g_renderer, g_texture, NULL, NULL);
SDL_RenderPresent(g_renderer);
}

How to crop an SOIL loaded image

I am trying to crop an image loaded thanks to SOIL library, before using it as a texture.
So first, how can I load an image, and then convert it to a texture ?
And secondly, how to modify (crop, etc..) the image loaded ?
This is what I would like to do:
unsigned char * img = SOIL_load_image("img.png", &w, &h, &ch, SOIL_LOAD_RGBA);
// crop img ...
// cast it into GLuint texture ...
You can load a portion of your image by utilizing the glPixelStorei functionality:
// the location and size of the region to crop, in pixels:
int cropx = ..., cropy = ..., cropw = ..., croph = ...;
// tell OpenGL where to start reading the data:
glPixelStorei(GL_UNPACK_SKIP_PIXELS, cropx);
glPixelStorei(GL_UNPACK_SKIP_ROWS, cropy);
// tell OpenGL how many pixels are in a row of the full image:
glPixelStorei(GL_UNPACK_ROW_LENGTH, w);
// load the data to a previously created texture
glTextureSubImage2D(texure, 0, 0, 0, cropw, croph, GL_SRGB8_ALPHA8, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, img);
Here's a diagram from the OpenGL spec that might help:
EDIT: If you're using older OpenGL (older than 4.5) then replace the glTextureSubImage2D call with:
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_SRGB8_ALPHA8, cropw, croph, 0, GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, img);
Make sure to create and bind the texture prior to this call (same way you create textures normally).

Blank screen after rendering text

I have opened a window which shows two rects on the screen then using SDL_TTF to show the mouse position on the screen.
The bit I am having hard time understanding is why after rendering text the the two rects before it do not show up.
I am using SDL_RenderFillRect to draw two rects on screen
SDL_SetRenderDrawColor(renderer, 255, 255, 255, 255);
SDL_RenderFillRect(renderer, rect1);
SDL_SetRenderDrawColor(renderer, 0, 0, 255, 255);
SDL_RenderFillRect(renderer, rect2);
Code for rendering the text is
// define string with mouse x, y coords
sprintf(someString, "x: %d, y: %d", mouse.x, mouse.y);
SDL_Point textPos = {10, 10};
WriteText(renderer, font, someString, textPos, (SDL_Color){255, 255, 255, 255});
SDL_Surface *fontSurface = TTF_RenderText_Blended(font, someString, COLOR_BLACK); // create font surface
SDL_Texture *fontTexture = SDL_CreateTextureFromSurface(renderer, fontSurface); // create the texture
// get clip width and height from fontsurface clip rect
SDL_Rect *fontRect = &fontSurface->clip_rect;
fontRect->x = pos.x;
fontRect->y = pos.y;
SDL_RenderCopy(renderer, fontTexture, NULL, fontRect); // copy text to the renderer
// delete surface and texture
SDL_FreeSurface(fontSurface);
SDL_DestroyTexture(fontTexture);
It to shows the mouse positon top left corner of the window. However this makes the rest of the window blank.
To prevent this my work around is having to draw something on the screen after calling SDL_RendererCopy (and weirdly before calling SDL_DestroyTexture too) For example drawing single point
...
SDL_RenderCopy(renderer, fontTexture, NULL, fontRect); // copy text to the renderer
// why is this needed??
SDL_RenderDrawPoint(renderer, 0, 0);
// delete surface and texture
SDL_FreeSurface(fontSurface);
SDL_DestroyTexture(fontTexture); // have to draw a point before this
...
This then shows the two rects rendered before the text
If I set dstRect to NULL when calling SDL_RenderCopy then the text spans the whole window but I can see what was rendered before underneath the text.
Why am I having to draw a point after calling SDL_RenderCopy to stop what was rendered before from not showing up?

This is a bug in SDL 2.0.10. It's fixed by https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/6ee12b88beed and this fix will ship with 2.0.11. Sorry about that!

Is it possible to create an XOR pen like DrawFocusRect()?

The Win32 GDI DrawFocusRect(HDC, const RECT*) function draws the dotted outline of a rectangle on the desired devince context. The cool thing about this function is it draws the dots using an XOR function so that when you call it a second time on the same device context and rectangle, it erases itself:
RECT rc = { 0, 0, 100, 100 };
DrawFocusRect(hdc, &rc); // draw rectangle
DrawFocusRect(hdc, &rc); // erase the rectangle we just drew
I want to achieve the same dotted line effect as DrawFocusRect() but I just want a line, not a whole rectangle. I tried doing this by passing a RECT of height 1 to DrawFocusRect() but this doesn't work because it XORs the "bottom line" of the rectange on top of the top line so nothing gets painted.
Can I create a plain HPEN that achieves the same effect as DrawFocusRect() so I can draw just a single line?
As #IInspectable commented, you want to use SetROP2(). The other half of the battle is creating the correct pen. Here is how the whole thing shakes out:
HPEN create_focus_pen()
{
LONG width(1);
SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETFOCUSBORDERHEIGHT, 0, &width, 0);
LOGBRUSH lb = { }; // initialize to zero
lb.lbColor = 0xffffff; // white
lb.lbStyle = BS_SOLID;
return ExtCreatePen(PS.GEOMETRIC | PS.DOT, width, &lb, 0, 0);
}
void draw_focus_line(HDC hdc, HPEN hpen, POINT from, POINT to)
{
HPEN old_pen = SelectObject(hdc, hpen);
int old_rop = SetROP2(R2_XORPEN);
MoveToEx(hdc, from.x, from.y, nullptr);
LineTo(hdc, to.x, to.y);
SelectObject(hdc, old_pen);
SetROP2(old_rop);
}

GTK and scrolling text view

This is what I have so far
GtkWidget* createConsoleBox()
{
GtkWidget* textArea = gtk_text_view_new();
GtkWidget* scrollbar = gtk_vscrollbar_new(gtk_text_view_get_vadjustment(GTK_TEXT_VIEW(textArea)));
GtkWidget* textEntry = gtk_entry_new();
GtkWidget* console = gtk_table_new(3, 2, FALSE);
gtk_table_attach_defaults(GTK_TABLE(console), textArea, 0, 1, 0, 1);
gtk_table_attach_defaults(GTK_TABLE(console), scrollbar, 1, 2, 0, 1);
gtk_table_attach_defaults(GTK_TABLE(console), textEntry, 0, 2, 1, 2);
return console;
}
I want the text view to be scrollable as the text begins to fill the box, but the box keeps on expanding to accommodate more text. How to do I limit the size of the text view and create a scrollable text view.
Thanks in advance :-)
I'm afraid you've misunderstood how scrollbars work in GTK; usually you don't create a scrollbar directly, but you place the widget you would like to scroll in a GtkScrolledWindow. This creates scrollbars automatically and connects them to the widget inside the scrolled window; in your case, the text view.
Here's what your createConsoleBox() function should look like:
GtkWidget* createConsoleBox()
{
GtkWidget* textArea = gtk_text_view_new();
GtkWidget* scrolledwindow = gtk_scrolled_window_new(NULL, NULL);
GtkWidget* textEntry = gtk_entry_new();
GtkWidget* console = gtk_table_new(3, 1, FALSE);
gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(scrolledwindow), textArea);
gtk_table_attach_defaults(GTK_TABLE(console), scrolledwindow, 0, 1, 0, 1);
gtk_table_attach_defaults(GTK_TABLE(console), textEntry, 0, 1, 1, 2);
return console;
}
What you experience is the result of the widget asking more space to its parent container.
Unless the parent container has some rules forbidding the expansion, it will give as much space as child widget asks.
A common way to avoid this is to set a given size for the child widget with gtk_widget_set_size_request(), followed by some way to make sure the parent can give shrink or grow, depending on the parent properties.
This sample code show one way to accomplish this.
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
GtkWidget* createConsoleBox()
{
GtkWidget* textArea = gtk_text_view_new();
GtkWidget* scrollbar= gtk_vscrollbar_new(gtk_text_view_get_vadjustment(GTK_TEXT_VIEW(textArea)));
GtkWidget* textEntry = gtk_entry_new();
GtkWidget* console = gtk_table_new(3, 2, FALSE);
gtk_table_attach_defaults(GTK_TABLE(console), textArea, 0, 1, 0, 1);
gtk_table_attach_defaults(GTK_TABLE(console), scrollbar, 1, 2, 0, 1);
gtk_table_attach_defaults(GTK_TABLE(console), textEntry, 0, 2, 1, 2);
//This code sets the preferred size for the widget, so it does not ask for extra space
gtk_widget_set_size_request(textArea, 320, 240);
return console;
}
int main(int argc,char* argv[]){
GtkWidget *window;
gtk_init(&argc, &argv);
window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
gtk_window_set_title(GTK_WINDOW(window), "Simple Sample");
gtk_window_set_default_size(GTK_WINDOW(window), 800, 600);// does not matter this size
gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window), createConsoleBox());
gtk_widget_show_all(window);
gtk_window_set_resizable(GTK_WINDOW(window),FALSE);//because of this
gtk_main();
return 0;
}
gtk_window_set_resizable() is meant to make the window un-resizeable by the user (the App can still resize it), but has the extra propertie of tighting up the window to the size of its child widget. Each GtkContainer has it way of setting up expansion, tighness, etc. Is only matter of experimentation to find the right one for your needs.
If the window resizable property had been set to TRUE, the textarea would still have the given size for it, the container would just put a lot of extra space between the individual widgets inside the GtkTable.
