[Gambas-user] Help for Image and Picture Colors

[tobias]

Hi,

I really need help. There's a lot of work with colors in Images and 
Pictures in a project and between these classes. This is generally 
speaking as follows: I have a class which has an 8*8px Image which is 
manipulated (due to the easy of accessing pixels directly). Using a 
property of my class, I provide access to a scaled version of the Image 
as a Picture (which is created when requested). So I do some things and 
when manually resizing the Image to get the prototype of the Picture to 
return (it is needed as bigger version of the Image without 
anti-aliasing, I don't get this result with Image.Stretch(), and doing 
it manually is not a problem) there seem to appear problems with 
transparency. I read that Pictures do not have an alpha channel and I 
noticed that colors from the ColorChooser or Color class are given with 
alpha channel set to 0x00 which will be transparent for the Image 
class... so I tried adding &Hff000000& to whatever color is assigned to 
any pixel in the 8*8px Image or not to do it and some other experiments 
but nothing worked on the entire project. there's always something 
transparent or black or whatever. I really go nuts with this. Anyone to 
my rescue?

Regards,
Tobi
