Bitmaps

In this tutorial we'll learn how to load bitmaps from resources and from files, how to pass them around and blit them to the screen. We'll also see how to create and use an empty bitmap as a canvas, draw a picture on it and then blit it to the screen. Finally, we'll combine these techniques to write a simple program that uses double-buffering and timer messages to show a simple animation involving sprites.

First of all, in most cases Windows provides storage for bitmaps and takes care of the formatting of bits. The programmer gets access to the bitmap through a handle, whose type is HBITMAP. (Remember to set the STRICT flag when compiling Windows programs, to make sure HBITMAP is a distinct type, rather than just a pointer to void.)

Since a bitmap is a resource (in the Resource Management sense), the first step is to encapsulate it in a “strong pointer” type of interface. Notice the transfer semantics of the constructor and the overloaded assignment operator, characteristic of a resource that can have only one owner at a time.

We instruct Windows to release the resources allocated to the bitmap by calling DeleteObject.

class Bitmap {
public:
 Bitmap : _hBitmap (0) {}
 // Transfer semantics
 Bitmap(Bitmap& bmp) : _hBitmap(bmp.Release) {}
 void operator=(Bitmap& bmp) {
 if (bmp._hBitmap != _hBitmap) {
 Free;
 _hBitmap = bmp.Release;
 }
 }
 HBITMAP Release {
 HBITMAP h = _hBitmap;
 _hBitmap = 0;
 return h;
 }
 ~Bitmap {
 Free;
 }
 // implicit conversion for use with Windows API
 operator HBITMAP {
 return _hBitmap;
 }
protected:
 Bitmap(HBITMAP hBitmap) : _hBitmap(hBitmap) {}
 void Free {
 if (_hBitmap) ::DeleteObject(_hBitmap);
 }
 HBITMAP _hBitmap;
};

Now that the management issues are out of the way, we can concentrate on loading bitmaps. The simplest way to include a bitmap in your program is to add it to the resource file. In the resource editor of your development environment you can create new bitmaps or import them from external files. You can either give them names (strings) or numerical ids. When you want to access such a bitmap in your program you have to load it from the resources. Here are two methods that do just that. You have to give them a handle to the program instance.

void Bitmap::Load(HINSTANCE hInst, char const * resName) {
 Free;
 _hBitmap = (HBITMAP)::LoadImage(hInst, resName, IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_CREATEDIBSECTION);
 if (_hBitmap == 0) throw WinException("Cannot load bitmap from resources", resName);
}

void Bitmap::Load(HINSTANCE hInst, int id) {
 Free;
 _hBitmap = (HBITMAP)::LoadImage(hInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(id), IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_CREATEDIBSECTION);
 if (_hBitmap == 0) throw WinException("Cannot load bitmap from resources");
}

Loading a bitmap directly from a file is also very simple and can be done using the same API, LoadImage. Remember, it will only work if the file is a Windows (or OS/2) bitmap — such files usually have the extension .bmp. There is no simple way of loading other types of graphics files, .gif, .jpg, .png, etc. You have to know their binary layout and decode them explicitly (there are other web sites that have this information).

void Bitmap::Load(char* path) {
 Free;
 _hBitmap = (HBITMAP)::LoadImage(0, path, IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_LOADFROMFILE);
 if(_hBitmap == 0) throw WinException("Cannot load bitmap from file", path);
}

Once you got hold of a bitmap, you may want to enquire about its dimensions. Here's how you do it.

void Bitmap::GetSize(int& width, int& height) {
 BITMAP bm;
 ::GetObject(_hBitmap, sizeof(bm), &bm);
 width = bm.bmWidth;
 height = bm.bmHeight;
}

Finally, you might want to create an empty bitmap and fill it with your own drawings programmatically. You have to specify the dimensions of the bitmap and you have to provide a device context (Canvas) for which the bitmap is targeted. Windows will create a different type of bitmap when your target is a monochrome monitor or printer, and different when it's a graphics card set to True Color. Windows will create a bitmap that is compatible with the target device.
