Hi,
I continue fighting with AggPas included with lazarus to use it for a GPS software.
To finish most of the drawing needs, I need to make AggPas to render the map in perspective, to give the software the 3D view (as Igo do or something similar).
I saw the Persepective.dpr demo, and selecting the "Perspective" mode, seems to draw the way I like it... but I don?t know how to apply this effect in a simple sample.
Let?s say this is the simple sample:
procedure TForm1 .Button1Click (Sender : TObject );
const
fTextAngle = 300;
fWidth = 200;
fHeight = 200;
var
fMap : TBitmap;
fMapCanvas : TAggLCLCanvas;
begin
fMap := TBitmap.Create;
fMap.PixelFormat := pf32bit;
fMapCanvas := TAggLCLCanvas.Create;
fMapCanvas.Image.PixelFormat:= afpimRGBA32;
fMapCanvas.Image.SetSize(fWidth,fHeight);
// Start of drawing routines
fMapCanvas.FillRect(Rect(0,0,fWidth-1,fHeight-1));
fMapCanvas.Pen.Color := $FF0000;
fMapCanvas.Pen.Width := 2;
fMapCanvas.MoveTo(50,10);
fMapCanvas.LineTo(50,70);
// in fact lots of lines... one is enaught for the sample
fMapCanvas.Font.Color := clMaroon;
fMapCanvas.Font.LoadFromFile('Tahoma',12,false,false,AGG_VectorFontCache,degtorad(fTextAngle),True);
fMapCanvas.Font.AggAlignX := AGG_AlignLeft;
fMapCanvas.Font.AggAlignY := AGG_AlignCenter;
fMapcanvas.AggTextOut(10,160,'Sample Angled Text',false,0,0);
// End of drawing routines
fMap.LoadFromIntfImage(fMapCanvas.Image.IntfImg);
fMap.SaveToFile('c:\test.bmp');
fMapCanvas.Free;
fMap.Free;
end;What should I do to give to this drawed image some perspective????
Last question about this... once the transformation is applied... the worldtoscreen and screentoworld still works?
I was looking on Internet for any sample for a while without success... or is there a wiki page about AggPas on the lazarus site? It seems it does not exists... after I finish with this step working, I?ll create one... I think AggPas is wonderful and I think it should be more visible (and easy to use).
I know that TaggLCLcanvas makes it easier to use... but more samples and a wiki page with some small tutorial will be better.
Thanks in advance
Horacio
