Re: How to draw low density bmp on high density display?
Hi, The problem is I dont want to ship databases with bitmap families, but rather display bitmap as is so that 1pix in bitmap is rendered to exactly 1phisical devise pixel. What I experience and try to avoid is scaling the bitmap on high-density displays! I tried WinSetScalingMode(kBitmapScalingOff); I tried WinSetCoordinateSystem(kDensityDouble/ kDensityLow); I tried BmpCreateBitmapV3(pBmpV1, kDensityDouble/ kDensityLow, BmpGetBits(pBmpV1)...); I tried WinCreateOffscreenWindow(...nativeFormat/ screenFormat); Nothing worked as targetted. What I need is effect of drawing bitmap (BitmapTypeV3) with kDensityDouble. Thanks!

When the bitmap uses version3 bmp format, the blitter properly selects high-density bitmap and renders it as I wish. So, how can a 160x160 pix bitmap be rendered on left top portion of the screen on high density display devices? What if you store it as 2 separate bitmap families? One with the bitmap in single density, the other in double density. Then pick the bitmap based on WinGetCoordinateSystem()? /* * Matt Graham * Palm OS Developer * www.healthramp.com */ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/

Image APIs?
Hi group, I am considering building a photo album application. Can anyone give me advice on what Image APIs may be used. Are there any specific APIs for different devices (Palm, Sony, ..., OS5) or a standard can be used. What APIs are used for building the image databases (storing images) and what APIs are used for rendering images on devices. What formats are available. Is there any common image format (say .bmp) that can be used for both Palm and PocketPC devices. Thanks!

Re: .R commandline compiler?
Thank you Ben, I am trying to port our Palm software to PocketPC with minimum project objects and source recoding.

PilRC problem with BITMAPFAMILYEX identifier auto-definitions
Hi group, I have a set of bitmaps I want to bundle in RCP file. I use BITMAPFAMILYEX for generic PalmOS devices, and BITMAPFAMILY for Sony devices. I have also #include Header.h on the 1st line in the .RCP file. To regenerate the header I delete the header file, then run PilRC with RCP file, then save the project. But I am confused to see only the BITMAPFAMILY ids are generated in the header. Also, if I delete the header file while in PilRC, when saving the project an header file is generated! It is strange that at first i had couple of BITMAPFAMILYEX and everything went ok, but when I added more definitions thing gone wrong even with older source. Any suggestions?
