[toe_head2001]

You know what's better than having the editor's dark theme?

Having the editor's dark theme and PDN's dark theming.

 

Spoiler

PDN Dark Theme + Editor Dark Theme

 

PDN Light Theme + Editor Light Theme

[toe_head2001]

More work-in-progress fun.

Got an unruly document? Automatically whip it into shape!

Big shout-out to @MJW for helping design and test all the new features!

^^^ This is black magic! Pure witchcraft and wizardry! 

Job well done! Those guys are awesome!   *tuts his own horn, and breaks his arm off patting himself on the back* 

Do we even need Visual Studio anymore?

I think it's safe to say that we now have the most robust development environment of any image manipulation program.

Here are the keyboard commands to invoke filtering within the AutoComplete box:

Alt+L    Local Variables and Parameters

Alt+O    Constants

Alt+P    Properties

Alt+F    Fields

Alt+M    Methods

Alt+C    Classes

Alt+S    Structs

Alt+E    Enums

Alt+K    Keywords

 

 

Enjoy the new features and bugfixes.

Thank you very much for this wonderful tool!

 

Do you think it's possible to add a Classic Color control (existing in Windows) other than the pdn Color Wheel?
It would take up much less space in the UI.

CodeLab only supports IndirectUI controls built-in to paint.net itself.

[xod]

OK, I understand, thanks for the answer.

[Ego Eram Reputo]

@BoltBait, @toe_head2001 & @MJW - you guys rock! Thank you for these wonderful tools.

[BoltBait]

Thanks!

 

I think @toe_head2001 and I make a good team.  He focuses on the Editor and I focus on the Code Generation.

Yeah, we rock... your socks off.

 

My ToDo list for CodeLab still isn't empty either.

Some comments on formatting:
- if the comment ends in a bracket, below statement is wrongly indented
- also for more 'using' statements

 

[TrevorOutlaw]

Question from a total noob...

 

Is there a way to quickly preview the dialog without having to publish, move the effect to appropriate location, and run PDN to see if it works?  Or is this more for Visual Studio where the ability to use XML editor to customize the location of each interactive feature?

 

Thanks.

Thanks for the report. I'll get these fixed. I suspect there more small issues with it, yet to be discovered.

Once we make "bug free", I'd like to automatically execute the 'Format Document' feature.  For example, when you paste in code, 'Format Document' would just automatically run on that pasted code.

No there is not. Previewing the dialog from CodeLab would technically be possible, but that's very low on my list of priorities.

When you derive from PropertyBasedEffect, you can't customize the dialog extensively. You literally declare a short list of properties, and paint.net generates a dialog at runtime based on those properties (this is colloquially  know as "IndirectUI").

 

If you need a fully custom dialog, you have to tediously build it from scratch with WinForms controls.

[toe_head2001]

Yeah, that could be a bit confusing. Read it like this:

 

Is Checked  OR  Is 0

Is Not Checked  OR  Is not 0

Thanks, these a lot of things has cleared at once.

I figured as much.

[Pratyush]

Can such object operations be defined, which let to change all of the channels together such these codes can to changed together as Instead of this

 

CurrentPixel.R = PrimaryColor.R + 25;
CurrentPixel.G = PrimaryColor.G + 25;
CurrentPixel.B = PrimaryColor.B + 25;
CurrentPixel.A = PrimaryColor.A + 25;

we can simply use.

CurrentPixel = PrimaryColor + 25;

You could create a function for that.

void Render(Surface dst, Surface src, Rectangle rect)
{
    ColorBgra PrimaryColorColor = EnvironmentParameters.PrimaryColor;

    ColorBgra CurrentPixel;
    for (int y = rect.Top; y < rect.Bottom; y++)
    {
        if (IsCancelRequested) return;
        for (int x = rect.Left; x < rect.Right; x++)
        {
            CurrentPixel = IncrementAllChannels(PrimaryColorColor, 25);
            
            dst[x,y] = CurrentPixel;
        }
    }
}

ColorBgra IncrementAllChannels(ColorBgra color, int amount)
{
    return ColorBgra.FromBgraClamped(color.B + amount, color.G + amount, color.B + amount, color.A + amount);
}

 

[MJW]

You could even make it an extension method so you could use:

CurrenPixel = PrimaryColor.Add(25);

Not in CodeLab though.

[MJW]

That's probably true. I always have to look up how to do it.
