07-18-2008, 14:05 lazycoder Joined on 07-18-2008 Posts 13 Veritical rotation (90 or 270) does not display correctly after any call to CreateGdiPlusGraphics I am using C# on .net 3.5 and Leadtools v15. I have a simple method that does rotation using the RotateCommand. After rotating the image I call refresh on the RasterImageViewer. It all works fine until I make any call to CreateGdiPlusGraphics. After calling CreateGdiPlusGraphics, any rotation to 90 or 270 degrees causes the image to be displayed on the viewer with its content stretched vertically beyond the surfact of the image. In otherwards, the image is stretched and, basically, truncated. If I save the image it saves fine, so it is just the display in the RasterImageViewer after any call to CreateGdiPlusGraphics that I am having problems with. Any suggestions?    Report

Please note that rotation works fine until I call my RenderBorders method.

Problem still exists.    Report

BTW, I deleted the attachment from you post because it contained an unlock code.  Since the forums are public you should make sure you don't post the unlock codes, serial numbers, or DLLs on the forums. Thanks. LEADTOOLS Technical Support    Report

Completely forgot about those. I'm downloading the latest patches, etc. Will let you know if it's resolved. Thanks    Report

I've attached a couple of screenshots that demonstrate exactly what I'm seeing. If you look at the image before borders are rendered the image is rotated and scaled correctly. If you look at the other image (with_border.jpg) you will see that it is stretched vertically and the right side of the image has been truncated (the mountains in the background are not on the image). My file versions are: Leadtools.dll 15.0.1.17 Leadtools.Codecs.dll 15.0.1.11 Leadtools.ImageProcessing.Core.dll 15.0.1.0 Leadtools.Winforms.dll 15.0.1.1 Thanks in advance    Report

If I render the borders while the image is at 90 or 270 degrees rotation, then the same stretching problem exists when the image is rotated to 0 or 180 degrees. Also, I've verified that rendering the borders doesn't even need to happen for the problem to occur. Just making the call to CreateGdiPlusGraphics is enough to cause the problem.    Report

Rectangle viewable = new Rectangle(border, border, _rasterImage.Width - (border * 2), _rasterImage.Height - (border * 2)); // Add border region. _rasterImage.AddRectangleToRegion(null, viewable, RasterRegionCombineMode.AndNotRegion); // Fill the region with White color. FillCommand fillCmd = new FillCommand(); fillCmd.Color = new RasterColor(Color.White); fillCmd.Run(_rasterImage); // Clear the region. _rasterImage.MakeRegionEmpty(); LEADTOOLS Technical Support    Report

It works perfectly. Unfortunately, this is only one part of the problem for me as I have to do a bunch of text rendering, etc. onto the image. Can you provide any links on how to do text measuring/rendering on an in-memory rasterimage without using the .net graphics object?    Report
