Windows Bit-Mapped Graphics Author:Steve Rimmer Building on the success of Bit-Mapped Graphics, Steve Rimmer adapts his coverage to explore bit-mapped graphics in Windows and the techniques used to create, use, and store them. This is a complete programmer's reference that demystifies the digital representation of real-world images in the Windows environment, demonstrating the full range of p... more »ossibilities offered by Windows' powerful Graphics Device Interface (GDI). Rimmer follows the same user-friendly approach as in the original book, applying it to state-of-the-art graphics for Windows. Now, graphics programmers have instant, fingertip access to all the practical information they need to work effectively with Windows-compatible graphics formats, including MacPaint, PC Paintbrush PCX, CompuServe GIF, WordPerfect WPG, Targa, Windows BMP, and TIFF. Windows Bit-Mapped Graphics gives programmers a complete toolbox of portable source code to help them easily integrate these standards into their Windows applications. Readers not only learn how to read and write graphics files, they also discover the secrets to real-time color dithering, image manipulation, printing, and using Windows' versatile clipboard. Written by one of the industry's leading authorities on bit-mapped graphics, abundantly stocked with ready-to-run source code in C, and illustrated with many fine examples of bit-mapped output, there is no more authoritative, functional, or comprehensive treatment of Windows graphics programming available anywhere.« less
