Hello there,
I would like to create N x M colour map, pixel at location(a,b) would be of certain colour based on certain range of values of double/integer filters. The trick is that it would have like 70*50 pixels that would change their colors very fast (depending on those double filters). I implemented it as a bitmap. -
for loop i
-
{
-
for loop j
-
{
-
myColorMap.SetPixel(i, j, Color);
-
}
-
}
Is it efficient? Are there any better implementations ?

Honestly, I don't know how efficient this implementation is. I think a bitmap like that lives in memory so it shouldn't be terribly slow, but there's also a good chance it doesn't use your graphics card to handle the drawing, which may be slow.
You could give GDI+ a try (though I'm not sure how fast that is either), or you could look at embedding an XNA game object (google these terms :D) into your form and use that to draw, where you can either use a Texture2D object as your color map (manipulate the Texture2D data, which is a 2D array of Color) or use a 1x1 pixel texture with SpriteBatch.Dra w to serve as a "pixel".
If it were me, I'd try a bunch of different methods to see what gave you the performance you were looking for :)
Hm, totally forgot about Sprites for 2d...thats a good idea. I'll give it a try, but need to do more research, not that good with CG and XNA. Thanks a lot.

I should add that manipulating the color data for a Texture2D object is probably no different than writing to an in-memory bitmap like you're already doing. It's just that the draw itself might be a little faster.

I need to determine CMYK values from bitmaps. Is there a way in VB or Access
to do this?
The reason is that I need to determin the relative CMYK values.
Example: A square with the bottom half filled with black would have a black
value of 50%. The same square with the bottom half filled with red would
have values C=0, M=50%, Y=50%, K=0 and so on.

Hi, ive got an imagine in a PictureBox, and would like to get the colour
of the pixel when the mouse is over the control. From what ive (briefly)
seen, there is no way to do this directly in C# and requires you to use
GetPixel from the Win API?
Is this correct? Any other better ways of doing this?
Thanks,

Hi,
I asked Bjarne Stroustrup about the idea of adding colour standard for
C++, and he said that it is very difficult for compiler vendors to
change their IDE. But do you think it is possible ? Note that the
proposed colour standard is not just merely to ease the eye only as
what presently is in C++ compilers, but to aid in syntax disambiguation
and other advantages.
Here are a few advantages that I can think of:

Hi. I've made 2 functions which play around with colours.
They convert a 'colour number' (I don't know what the proper name for it is, so I call it this - the Long given back by RGB(), object.BackColor, etc, which represents a value of red, green and blue) into another 'colour number' but this is a greyscale version of it.
There are 2 functions - the first one 'decodes' the 'colour number' into the separate R G and B values. The second one...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
