Use BTENCODINGTYPE_ASCII or BTENCODINGTYPE_BINARY to specify the type (see BTDefines.h for more details). Changed the BTICodec interface. The following methods are added (See the sample decoder implementation (BTCDecoderICO) for more details): virtual const char *GetFormat() = 0, virtual const char *GetDescription() = 0, virtual const char *GetExtension() = 0.

You're able to set the compression level (see BTParamMNG.h). Added BTResolution BTCImageData::GetResolution(const enum BTResolutionUnit& ResUnit = BTRESUNIT_METER) method. Use this to get the resolution of the image. Resolution informations are available for the following formats: BMP, JPEG, PNG, PCX and TIFF. All other formats doesn't support this feature. BMP-Encoder writes RLE (Run-Length-Encryption) files by default (Only for 4 and 8bpp images, BMP does not support RLE for 16, 24 and 32bpp images). To turn off compression see BTParamBMP. Recoded TGA-Decoder. TGA-Encoder writes RLE files by default. To turn off compression see BTParamTGA (BTDefines.h). Modified BTIProgressNotification interface.

Added decoder to load ICONS. The source is available in the Example directory. BTCImageObject::GetFileType(...) returns now long values. All BTCImageObject::GetFileType(...) are no longer static methods. You have to create a BTCImageObject to use them. Parameter nType in BTCImageObject::Save(...) has been changed from int to long. FileType ids are no longer located in the BTCImageObject class. You can find them now in BTDefines.h. Fixed bug in BTCDataObject::GetFileType(...). Updated FAQ's. 15.01.2001 NexgenIPL v2.3 Build 20010115 Added compression support to TIFF-Encoder. Now you are able to choose between the following codecs (LZW compression is not supported because of Unisys patents.): CCITTRLE, CCITTRLEW, CCITTFAX3, CCITTFAX4, JPEG, PACKBITS. Added EPS-Decoder.

Improved JPEG-Encoder. Encoding big images needs less memory now. Library is compiled with MSVC 6.0 and /LINK50COMPAT to enable using this library with MSVC 5.0. Also Bugtrapper and Purify should work correct. 06.11.2000 NexgenIPL v2.0 Final Build 20001106 Added feature to add comments to GIF-Files. Added feature to get comments from a GIF-File when loading. Added BTCImageData::Antialias(double dWeight = 1.0 / 3.0, int nSameThreshold = 25, int nDiffThreshold = 25); Fixed bug in GIF-Decoder when loading images using background color.

Fixed bug in BTCImageData::FromDIB(HANDLE hDib). Fixed bug in BTCImageData::ConvertTo24BPP(). Fixed some bugs in GIF-Decoder e.g. loading correct colortable. Fixed memory leak in BTCImageData::DrawTransparent(...). Images do not have to be converted to 32 bits per pixel for the following methods: BTCImageData::Grayscale(), BTCImageData::Negate(), BTCImageData::Flip(). Please notice that some image manipulation methods e.g. Solarize doesn't work correctly with images < 24 bits (the result looks ugly). That's because 8 bit images only have 256 colors, and that's not enough. 24.09.2000 NexgenIPL v2.0 RC5 Build 20000924 Added BTCImageData::Solarize(double dFactor = 0.0) method. Added BTCImageData::Sharpen(double dFactor = 86.0) method. Added BTCImageData::FindEdge() method. Added BTCImageData::Embose() method. Added BTCImageData::Normalize() method.

Added BTCIStream/BTCOStream virtual classes for user implemented input/output. Currently only user implemented outputs are supported. Added 16 bit bitmaps support. They have to be converted to 24 bits because some 16 bit images stored as BITFIELDS support 5-6-5 color masks, NexgenIPL only 5-5-5 (a restriction given from Windows). Thats because NexgenIPL stores colors as RGB uncompressed format. For more details look in MSDN for BITMAPINFOHEADER. Improved TIFF-Decoder. B&W images are displayed correct now. 31.07.2000 NexgenIPL v1.23 Build 20000731 Improved bool BTCImageData::AdjustHue(int nDegrees). Improved static BTHLS BTCImageData::RGBtoHLS(COLORREF col).

Now you can manipulate the button state: DWORD BTCButton::SetStateEx(const DWORD dwStateEx) Renamed IScrollNotification to BTIScrollNotification. Updated NexgenIPL library to v1.21 Build 20000718. 18.07.2000 NexgenIPL v1.21 Build 20000718 Added static BTHSV BTCImageData::RGBtoHSV(COLORREF col). Added static COLORREF BTCImageData::HSVtoRGB(const BTHSV< hsv). Added static COLORREF BTCImageData::HSVtoRGB(double H, double S, double V). Added static BTHLS BTCImageData::RGBtoHLS(COLORREF col). Added static COLORREF BTCImageData::HLStoRGB(const BTHLS< hls). Added static COLORREF BTCImageData::HLStoRGB(double H, double L, double S). Added static double BTCImageData::GetHLSValue(double m1, double m2, double hue). Added static double BTCImageData::GetHue(COLORREF col). Added static double BTCImageData::GetBrightness(COLORREF col). Added static double BTCImageData::GetSaturation(COLORREF col). Added static int BTCImageData::GetLightness(COLORREF col). Improved BTCImageData::AdjustBrightness(...) function. Now you can darken and lighten the image (-100% <-= +100% brightness). Improved the following methods: BTCImageData::AdjustRGB, AdjustRed, AdjustGreen, AdjustBlue. You can now adjust each channel from -100% to +100%. Changed the number of parameters for BTCImageObject::Load(...). Fixed bug in PCX-Decoder when loading 1BPP images. Fixed bug when loading images from resource/memory. Fixed bug in BMP-Decoder when loading 24BPP images. 07.07.2000 NexgenIPL v1.2 Build 20000707 Added support for loading a specific frame from gif. Added support for animated gifs. Added blur function: bool BTCImageData::Blur(); Added crop function: bool BTCImageData::Crop(RECT< rect), bool Crop(int x, int y, int nWidth, int nHeight). Added function to retrieve statistics from each channel: bool BTCImageData::GetHistogram(BTCHistogram* pHistogram). Added function to retrieve a specific channel (red, green or blue): bool BTCImageData::GetChannel(const enum BTChannel< Channel, BTCImageData< Image); Added function to add channels to one image: bool BTCImageData::CombineChannels(BTCImageData* pRedImage, BTCImageData* pGreenImage, BTCImageData* pBlueImage). Removed bug in TIFF-Encoder. Indexed images will be saved correct now. Now there is also a static linked dll available. The library is now independed from installed runtime library on the target system. 02.06.2000 NexgenIPL v1.1 Build 20000602 Added new octree quantization algorithm for better color reduction quality. BTCImageData::Grayscale and BTCImageData::Negate can be used now for every color depth without converting to 32 bits per pixel. Removed bug in BMP-Decoder when loading OS/2 images. Removed Bug in PPM-Decoder and PGM-Decoder. Internal changes for better portation (perhaps in future). Removed all MFC crap, so it can be used from Win32 and MFC. The library is now a generic Win32 DLL that exports c++ classes. 14.05.2000 NexgenIPL v1.0 Build 20000514 IProgressNotification interface renamed to BTIProgressNotification. Removed bug in PNG-Decoder when loading Photoshop images. 05.05.2000 NexgenIPL v1.0 Build 20000505 Added a progress notification interface for loading and saving. Added BTCImageData::Compare(...) to compare two images. Added BTCImageObject::Load(...) to load images located in memory (not resource). Added BTCImageData::FindNearestPaletteColor(...) to find the nearest color in the palette to the color submitted as parameter. New BMP-Encoder. Renamed BTCImageObject::SetObjectData(...) to BTCImageObject::Attach(...). Now you're able to add some user data to files when saving them (PPM, PGM, JPEG, more coming...). See BTParamStructs.h. Removed bug in RAS-Decoder. Removed bug in TIFF-Encoder when writing 16, 24 or 32bpp images. Removed bug in GIF-Encoder. Removed bug in PNG-Encoder (colors will be correct now). Many internal improvements. 31.03.2000 NexgenUI v1.5 Build 20000331 Added a interface to BTCSliderCtrl which is called when the slider position changes. Modified BTCDigit class. Controls will be redrawn immediatelly after changing value, zero padding and precision. Bitmap characters will be displayed correct now (Bug in BTCFont). 21.03.2000 NexgenIPL v0.1 beta Build 20000321 Added IFF/ILBM and RAS decoders to NexgenIPL. Fixed some bugs. A demo application is now available to show how to use BTNexgenIPL library. 06.03.2000 NexgenIPL v0.1 beta Build 20000306 Added methode to resize image's size. Added methode to reduce color depth (quantization). 24.02.2000 NexgenIPL v0.1 beta Build 20000224 Gif's can be loaded from resource now. Removed some memory leaks. 23.02.2000 NexgenIPL v0.1 beta Build 20000223 Added GIF encoder to write uncompressed gif's (no usage of LZW algorithm) to file. Added GIF decoder to load gif's from file. Added JPEG decoder to load jpeg's from file and resource. Fixed bug which occurs while loading images when their height > width. 12.02.2000 NexgenIPL vesion 0.1 beta Build 20000212 Added many image manipulation routines. Added more file formats that are supported to read/write. xx.yy.zzzz
