image323.zip (18 KB) Load JPEGs, GIFs and more.

Updated documentation March 10, 2004. Now includes call to DeleteObject for images returned by the DLL.

A FREE image manipulation DLL for Liberty BASIC 3. Functions include color changes like tint, colorize and grayscale. It also has filtering functions like blur, sharpen and pixelate. Functions also include bitmap information functions, rotation, and more. This DLL manipulates images in memory and returns a handle to the new bitmap. It can then be loaded with LOADBMP, drawn with DRAWBMP and saved with BMPSAVE. The entire image will be drawn and saved, because this method doesn't require GETBMP to be used prior to saving the image. There is also a function to convert a bitmap to 24-bit format. LB saves bmps in the screen resolution, and some paint programs cannot open 32-bit bitmaps, so this function is very handy.

The DLL also includes support for loading jpg, bmp, ico, gif, wmf and emf image file formats! Load bitmaps THREE TIMES FASTER than the Liberty BASIC "loadbmp" command!

The DLL is released as FREEWARE, with no warantees expressed or implied.
