• qimageblitz QImage Blitz 0.0.3 file released: blitz-0.0.3.tgz

  0.0.3: * A pretty big round of cleanups and basic improvements including using new Qt macros when possible, replacing x/y loops with pointer ones, and a few more special cases for 8bit or premultiplied source images instead of converting them to RGBA. * Each effect has now been tested on 8bit, 32bit RGB, 32bit RGBA, and premultiplied images with and without MMX. Several filters and modes have been added to the test app. * Valgrinded Blitz while running each effect in each of the above modes. No leaks. Also ran Krazy and fixed a few basic issues but there are still a few more to do. * Found and fixed a few bugs during the above testing. Most of them were a places I checked the image format by depth and not QImage::format(). I also fixed edge(): forgot to call emms after inline asm, scaleFiltered(): broken with 8bit images, and grayscale(): never reduce depth w/ an alpha channel. * Added the API and some basic porting documentation. * Removed rotate() since QImage::transformed() has efficent special cases for right angles. Use that instead and performance should be fine. * Since Qt now uses the same C/C++ smoothscaling algorithm we do there is no reason to include a copy of it here. We just include the MMX version and call Qt if it's not available on the current machine. Saves a boatload of code. * Like QImage I've added the Qt::AspectRatioMode parameter to both smoothScale() and smoothScaleFilter() because it's nice to have :) * Removed grayscaleBrightness(). It wasn't in KImageEffect and was just there until I got around to porting some old code that used it :P * Minor improvements to the gradient code, which hasn't gotten any love in ages. Most notably memcpy has been a builtin gcc function for ages now and supports all sorts of CPU extensions, so you want to use it and not your own loops when possible. Like rotate() this may eventually become obsolete by using special cases in Qt's raster painter for linear gradients, but for now it should still be a little faster. Main reason why I care is because people tend to use gradients as resizable backgrounds so every ounce of speed counts. * A few touchups to blur: Don't bother processing if the radius is too small and handle 8bit source images without upgrading. * Readded a simple SIMD MMX invert I did a long time ago that does two pixels at once. This was taken out of the initial release due to an alignment problem. It will be faster than QImage::invertPixels() on x86 but I got to check it out against QPainter's raster ops, which are really heavily optimized by now. * Ported, readded, and tested desaturate, channelIntensity, and fade. * Moved inlinehsv.h and interpolate.h to the private/ directory. * Known outstanding issues found while testing: ConvolveEdge() produces ugly results with some images. I didn't notice this until I tried it with a dithered one. This is probably due to using a cheaper integer matrix instead of a floating point one, but I got to look at it more. Other convolve operations are fine. Threshold() reduces all images to a 2 color palette and I shouldn't do this if there is an alpha channel. Krazy apparently doesn't like inline or private methods in public headers. 0.0.2: 07/31/07 * Fixes to build with current KDE SVN. CMake no longer needs any commands for moc files and KAboutData had a few changes. 0.0.1: 07/27/07 * Initial public release
