this color in the yellow the diffrenet pixels all the time because i'm calling the method CalcDifference in the constructor. but what i want is that only when the rotating pie is over/above this diffrenet pixels then color this diffrenet pixels that are under the pie and not all the diffrenet pixels.
on the left side is when coloring the diffrenet pixels with the method CalcDifference.
on the right side the image at it's original.
the goal is to make a doppler radar effect that detect the clouds when the pie is rotating abvoe them.

Yes, you can use a little trick to change the colors of the clouds under the pie and skip the others.
To optimize your CalcDifference method and speed things up, get from each image only the pie region to process. The rest of the image does not change and you don't need to traverse the data of that region.
Pass the clipped images to the CalcDifference method and change the colors of the clouds in that region. All of them. Note, I have changed the method to convert the original images to 32bppArgb images if needed so you can pass images of different formats that the LockBits supports to process.
Assign the full-size image with clouds to the .Image property of the PictureBox.
Here's the trick. Handle the PictureBox.Paint event and create a GraphicsPath object, add the pie and pass it to Graphics.SetClip method. Draw the yellow clouds image then reset the clip (Graphics.ResetClip) to draw the pie.

C# - Forcing Rectangle to be in a fixed size/ratio

Similar to Photoshop, where you can type in a ratio or in my case a certain dimention such as 800x600, I want to be able to force a Rectangle to be a fixed ratio/size when dragging the mouse..
At the moment I have this:
Which will crop an image using the Rectangle created from clicking and dragging on the PictureBox. The bounding box selects the area without any constraints. I want to be able to force the rectangle to be a certain ratio (prefereably from a set resolution) similar to the way Photoshop's cropping tool works.

Maybe this example will help; is shows how to restrict a drawn rectangle to a given ratio:
float ratio = 0.33f;
Rectangle setRect()
{
int x = Math.Min(mDown.X, currPt.X);
int y = Math.Min(mDown.Y, currPt.Y);
int w = Math.Max(mDown.X, currPt.X) - x;
int h = Math.Max(mDown.Y, currPt.Y) - y;
if (ratio > 1) h = (int)(1f * w / ratio);
else w = (int)(1f * h * ratio);
return new Rectangle(x, y, w, h);
}
It uses two Points, one set in the MouseDown and one updated in the MouseMove.
It is up to you to integrate it with you programm; instead of painting all those pixels during MouseMove I would simply draw a rubberband rectangle on the surface of the control using the Paint event..
If you are scaling things you may want to switch to using all floats.

saving drawn image into folder

I have drawn an image in pictureBox, now i want to save it in the folder. I have tried so many ways nothing worked. I am drawing image using the fallowing code. I am drawing the image based on Textbox values.
private void btnTransferBottleRegenerate_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
float[] volumetransfer = new float[1];
volumetransfer[0] = float.Parse(txtTransferVolume.Text);
int[] percentages = new int[6];
percentages[0] = int.Parse(txtTransferNotIdentified.Text);
percentages[1] = int.Parse(txtTransferWaterBasedMud.Text);
percentages[2] = int.Parse(txtTransferOilBasedMud.Text);
percentages[3] = int.Parse(txtTransferWater.Text);
percentages[4] = int.Parse(txtTransferHydrocarbonLiq.Text);
percentages[5] = int.Parse(txtTransferGas.Text);
Color[] colors = new Color[6];
colors[0] = Color.Gray;
colors[1] = Color.Chocolate;
colors[2] = Color.SaddleBrown;
colors[3] = Color.Blue;
colors[4] = Color.Red;
colors[5] = Color.Lime;
// Finally, call the method
DrawPercentages(percentages, colors, volumetransfer);
//string filename = Application.StartupPath + "\\volumetransfer.jpg";
// pictureBox1.Image.Save(Application.StartupPath + "\\Image\\picture1.jpg");
// pictureBox1.Refresh();
// if (pictureBox1 != null)
// {
pictureBox1.Image.Save(Application.StartupPath + "\\test.bmp");
// }
}
private void DrawPercentages(int[] percentages, Color[] colors, float[] volumetransfer)
{
// Create a Graphics object to draw on the picturebox
Graphics G = pictureBox1.CreateGraphics();
// Calculate the number of pixels per 1 percent
float pixelsPerPercent = pictureBox1.Height / volumetransfer[0];
// Keep track of the height at which to start drawing (starting from the bottom going up)
int drawHeight = pictureBox1.Height;
// Loop through all percentages and draw a rectangle for each
for (int i = 0; i < percentages.Length; i++)
{
// Create a brush with the current color
SolidBrush brush = new SolidBrush(colors[i]);
// Update the height at which the next rectangle is drawn.
drawHeight -= (int)(pixelsPerPercent * percentages[i]);
// Draw a filled rectangle
G.FillRectangle(brush, 0, drawHeight, pictureBox1.Width, pixelsPerPercent * percentages[i]);
}
}
}
}
when I click "Regenerate" button then it is going to draw the image in pictureBox after that i want to save it in a folder. I have the design like this.

A solution is draw on a bitmap, set it as the image of the PictureBox and then save it:
private void DrawPercentages(int[] percentages, Color[] colors, float[] volumetransfer){
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(pictureBox1.Width, pictureBox1.Height);
using(Graphics G = Graphics.FromImage(bmp)){
//...
}
pictureBox1.Image = bmp;
}
And then your code should work perfectly without any problem.

First, you should paint within the correct event PictureBox1_Paint so that your drawn image stays visible (better: got repaint) even if your window gets eg: resized.
Afterwards you could make use of a snippet posted by #Hans Passant - How to save Graphics object to save your drawn image to disk.
// global to be accesible within paint
float[] volumetransfer = new float[1];
int[] percentages = new int[6];
Color[] colors = new Color[6];
private void btnTransferBottleRegenerate_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
/// initialization goes here
// force pictureBox to be redrawn
// so resizing your window won't let your rectangles disapear
pictureBox1.Invalidate();
using (var bmp = new Bitmap(pictureBox1.Width, pictureBox1.Height))
{
pictureBox1.DrawToBitmap(bmp, new Rectangle(0, 0, bmp.Width, bmp.Height));
bmp.Save(#"e:\temp\test.png"); //Application.StartupPath + "\\Image\\picture1.jpg"
}
}
private void pictureBox1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{
// use GraphicsObject of PaintEventArgs
Graphics G = e.Graphics;
float pixelsPerPercent = pictureBox1.Height / volumetransfer[0];
int drawHeight = pictureBox1.Height;
for (int i = 0; i < percentages.Length; i++)
{
SolidBrush brush = new SolidBrush(colors[i]);
drawHeight -= (int)(pixelsPerPercent * percentages[i]);
G.FillRectangle(brush, 0, drawHeight, pictureBox1.Width, pixelsPerPercent * percentages[i]);
}
}
On the other hand your DrawPercentage(..) could return a new Image - which you could afterwards assign to the pictureBox and save it with pictureBox1.Image.Save(...)
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
float[] volumetransfer = new float[1];
int[] percentages = new int[6];
Color[] colors = new Color[6];
/// initialization goes here
pictureBox1.Image = CreateImage(volumetransfer, percentages, colors);
pictureBox1.Image.Save(#"e:\temp\test.png");
}
private Image CreateImage(float[] volumetransfer, int[] percentages, Color[] colors)
{
Image img = new Bitmap(pictureBox1.Width, pictureBox1.Height);
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(img);
float pixelsPerPercent = pictureBox1.Height / volumetransfer[0];
int drawHeight = pictureBox1.Height;
for (int i = 0; i < percentages.Length; i++)
{
SolidBrush brush = new SolidBrush(colors[i]);
drawHeight -= (int)(pixelsPerPercent * percentages[i]);
g.FillRectangle(brush, 0, drawHeight, pictureBox1.Width, pixelsPerPercent * percentages[i]);
}
return img;
}

How to print one large image in many pages?

I want to print one tall (long) image in many pages. So in every page, I take a suitable part from the image and I draw it in the page.
the problem is that I have got the image shrunk (its shape is compressed) in the page,so I added an scale that its value is 1500 .
I think that I can solve the problem if I knew the height of the page (e.Graphics) in pixels.
to convert Inches to Pixel, Do I have to multiply by (e.Graphics.DpiX = 600) or multiply by 96 .
void printdocument_PrintPage(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs e)
{
if (pageImage == null)
return;
e.Graphics.PageUnit = GraphicsUnit.Pixel;
e.Graphics.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
e.Graphics.PixelOffsetMode = PixelOffsetMode.HighQuality;
float a = (e.MarginBounds.Width / 100) * e.Graphics.DpiX;
float b = ((e.MarginBounds.Height / 100) * e.Graphics.DpiY);
int scale = 1500;

}
could you please make it works correctly.
you can download the source code from (here).
thanks in advanced.

I tried to complete your task.
Here you go. Hope it helps.
This method prints the image on several pages (or one if image is small).
private void printImage_Btn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

list = new List<Image>();
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(image_PctrBx.Image);

decimal xdivider = image_PctrBx.Image.Width / 595m;
int xdiv = Convert.ToInt32(Math.Ceiling(xdivider));
decimal ydivider = image_PctrBx.Image.Height / 841m;
int ydiv = Convert.ToInt32(Math.Ceiling(ydivider));
/*int xdiv = image_PctrBx.Image.Width / 595; //This is the xsize in pt (A4)
int ydiv = image_PctrBx.Image.Height / 841; //This is the ysize in pt (A4)
// # 72 dots-per-inch - taken from Adobe Illustrator
if (xdiv >= 1 && ydiv >= 1)
{*/
for (int i = 0; i < xdiv; i++)
{

{

try
{
r = new Rectangle(i * Convert.ToInt32(image_PctrBx.Image.Width / xdiv),

image_PctrBx.Image.Height / ydiv);
}
catch (Exception)

PrintDocument printDocument = new PrintDocument();
printDocument.PrintPage += PrintDocument_PrintPage;
PrintPreviewDialog previewDialog = new PrintPreviewDialog();
previewDialog.Document = printDocument;
pageIndex = 0;
previewDialog.ShowDialog();
// don't forget to detach the event handler when you are done
printDocument.PrintPage -= PrintDocument_PrintPage;
}
This method prints every picture in the List in the needed dimensions (A4 size):
private void PrintDocument_PrintPage(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs e)
{
// Draw the image for the current page index
e.Graphics.DrawImageUnscaled(list[pageIndex],
e.PageBounds.X,
e.PageBounds.Y);
// increment page index
pageIndex++;
// indicate whether there are more pages or not
e.HasMorePages = (pageIndex < list.Count);
}
This method crops the image and returns every part of the image:
private static Image cropImage(Image img, Rectangle cropArea)
{
Bitmap bmpImage = new Bitmap(img);
Bitmap bmpCrop = bmpImage.Clone(cropArea, System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.DontCare);
return (Image)(bmpCrop);
}
The Image gets loaded from the PictureBox, so make sure the image is loaded. (No exception handling yet).
internal string tempPath { get; set; }
private int pageIndex = 0;
internal List<Image> list { get; set; }
These variables are defined as global variables.

Why isn't my text right aligned when I custom draw my strings?

I'm trying to draw Right-Aligned text in a custom control, however, it seems for some reason it doesn't align to my target horizontal position and there's a difference between strings.
I can live with the fact that it doesn't exactly matches my target horizontal position, but the difference between strings is visually awful!
Any pointers?
The isolated code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace RightAlignTest {
class RightControlTest : UserControl {
public RightControlTest() {
this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.UserPaint, true);
this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.ResizeRedraw, true);
}
public static void DrawString(Graphics g, string s, Font f, RectangleF r, Color c) {
float locx = r.Left;
float locy = r.Top;
SizeF txts = g.MeasureString(s, f);
locx = (locx + r.Width - txts.Width);
g.DrawString(s, f, new SolidBrush(c), locx, locy);
}
protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e) {
base.OnPaint(e);
int rightTarget = Width - 20;
Font f = new Font("Arial Unicode MS", 13f, FontStyle.Regular);
int i = 0;
string[] strings = { "Current Limit 1:", "Current Limit 2:", "Temperature Center 1:", "Temperature Center 2:" };
foreach (var s in strings) {
Rectangle r1 = new Rectangle(0, 30 * i++, rightTarget, Height);
DrawString(e.Graphics, s, f, r1, Color.Black);
}
e.Graphics.DrawLine(new Pen(new SolidBrush(Color.Blue)), rightTarget, 0, rightTarget, Height);
}
}
public partial class Form1 : Form {
public Form1() {
RightControlTest t = new RightControlTest();
t.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
Controls.Add(t);
}
}
}

Try if this works:
public static void DrawString(
Graphics g, string s, Font f,
RectangleF r, Color c)
{
StringFormat stringFormat = new StringFormat();
stringFormat.Alignment = StringAlignment.Far;
stringFormat.LineAlignment = StringAlignment.Center; // Not necessary here
g.DrawString(s, f, new SolidBrush(c), r, stringFormat);
}
using StringFormat example taken from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/332kzs7c.aspx

Use StringFormat.SetTabStop(int,float[]), like this:
private void PrintPage_Print(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs e)
{
using (Font f = new Font("Segoe UI", 10f, FontStyle.Regular, GraphicsUnit.Point))
{
using (Brush b = new SolidBrush(Color.Black))
{
using (Graphics g = e.Graphics)
{
float y = 5;
string headLine = "Article\tUnit\tNet\tGross";
Pen pen = new Pen(b);
SizeF measure = g.MeasureString(headLine, f);
StringFormat format = new StringFormat();
float[] tabs = new float[] { 200, 100, 55, 55};
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(5, (int)y, (int)(tabs.Sum()+5), (int)measure.Height);
format.SetTabStops(0, tabs);
g.DrawString(headLine, f, b, rect, format);
g.DrawRectangle(pen, rect);
y += rect.Height + 3f;
format.LineAlignment = StringAlignment.Far;
foreach (var product in Bill.ListPositions())
{
measure = g.MeasureString(product.PositionString, f);
rect = new Rectangle(5, (int)y, (int)(tabs.Sum()+5), (int)measure.Height);
g.DrawString(product.PositionString, f, b, rect, format);
y += measure.Height + 2f;
}
g.DrawLine(pen, new Point(0, (int)y), new Point((int)(tabs.Sum()), (int)y));
tabs = new float[] { 300, 110 };
format.LineAlignment = StringAlignment.Near;
format.SetTabStops(0, tabs);
foreach (var line in DrawTotalSummaryLines())
{
measure = g.MeasureString(line, f);
rect = new Rectangle(5, (int)y, (int)(tabs.Sum()+5), (int)measure.Height);
g.DrawString(line, f, b, rect, format);
y += measure.Height + 2f;
if (line.Contains("Gross:") ||line.Contains("CHANGE:"))
{
g.DrawLine(pen, new Point(0, (int)y), new Point((int)(tabs.Sum()), (int)y));
y += measure.Height + 2f;
}
}
g.Dispose();
pen.Dispose();
}
b.Dispose();
}
f.Dispose();
}
The result should look like this:
