SpiroShapes aka Drawing Curved Shapes

 

Spiro_Shapes1.png

 

What's this?

 

 

Based directly on BoltBait code for his Polygon.dll,

 

 

another way to draw amazing lines/curves:

EDIT: Old CodeLab code replaced by plugin presentation!

 

I've called it SpiroShapes, because it makes me think about the 'drawing machine' Spirograf.

 

Some examples...

The MadJik's All plugins package is available !

How to install

Close Paint.net

 

Classic version of Paint.net

Unzip and (re)place the DLL in your Effect folder usually: C:/Program Files/Paint.NET/Effects

 

Microsoft Store version of Paint.net

Unzip and (re)place the DLL in your Effect folder usually: /My Documents/paint.net App Files/Effects/

You have to adapt for your language My Documents

 

 

The User interface

This plugin is added to the menu Effects, submenu Render.

Madjik, while clearly fascinating, how do you predict what will happen when you adjust the various inputs?

In other words, in the original final script, you can clearly guess that when you change verticies from 5 to 6, you can guess that you will go from drawing a pentagon to a hexagon. In yours, increasing verticies makes the curves smoother.

But, what is coefficient a, b, and c? What do they 'mean'?

Oh, and to answer your question about line width...

Getting the specified line width from the UI is easy:

int LineWidth = (int)EnvironmentParameters.BrushWidth;

As for how to modify my line drawing routine to take advantage of it (AND antialias the resulting line), now that's another story.

Well, I'm not able to explain sin/cos here in english...

Also it is difficult to pre-evaluate the curve we will obtain when we change CoefA or CoefB or CoefC.

First formula is : RO = sin( CoefA * ANGLE / CoefB)

This is a simple sinus curve.

Then to draw a circle we need to calculate X,Y

X = Radius * cos(ANGLE)

Y = Radius * sin(ANGLE)

Radius is normaly a "fix" value.

if you put that in a loop for ANGLE = -PI to PI you could plot a circle.

But in this program instead Radius, we use the first formula.

It means the radius is changing at each plot...

CoefA is the number of period for the sinus curve

(in a period sin goes like this : 0...-1...0...1...0). Each -1 or 1 is a peak.

If CoefA = 2 then we have 4 peaks. 6 : 12 peaks, etc...

CoefB is a decal factor. CoefB=1 : no decal. You could see that I'm calling the peaks !

Experiment differentes values to feel how it works...

Test (CoefC = CoefB):

CoefA=2 CoefB=1

CoefA=6 CoefB=1

CoefA=7 CoefB=6

Change the type from Integer to Float and test

CoefA=2 CoefB=0.5

CoefA=1.5 CoefB=1 (the fly)

CoefC should be equal to CoefB if we want to have all periods finished.

If we choose CoefC < CoefB then we obtain an "open" curve.

If we choose CoefC > CoefB then we redraw on the same plots. It's too much plots.

NB: In the formula we have : CoefA / CoefB

It means CoefA=1/CoefB=2 is same as CoefA=2/CoefB=4 ,CoefA=3/CoefB=6, etc...

I have an excel file with the graph function PM me if you want it...

I have used some curves and polar inversion to do this:

Well, I make my first GUI using Visual Studio 2005 Express (free).

I took other source (Clouds Effect) as model because C# isn't a language I know.

Now, it seems to work but I have an error if the image is too small (index out of bound)... and the preview does show the full lines (final rendering also... but last display is Ok).

I would appreciate if someone could have a look at the source and fix the bugs for me. After that I will create explanation for this plug-in....

I crashed Paint.NET just now using the Theta curves plugin. I think this is the error you were talking about. It happened when I set the vertices's to "0".

Here is the crash log:

There is a reason for the following comment in the original code:

    int verticies = 5;        // number of points (3-10?), default 5, slider 

The range for verticies can not go below 3. Actually, it can not go below 1. If Verticies is 0 you will get a division by zero error.

For the CodeLab on this topic, you are right !

And of course if vertice is 0 we get a division by zero error.

But with vertice 1 or 2 the code is useless cos we get a single point or a line...

Updated !

I changed "Double" to "Float" and it is a bit faster now. Some bugs corrected as well.

I still need your help for the bug I get when it is small size image...

I test with image size 600x600 px and it is Ok... This is an example after some works...

I still like spheres...

I used my ThetaCurves DLL (beta version with some bugs)...

http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?p=17314#17314

Also the gradient effect and the new distorb sphere effect...

This picture has been made using the Polygones.dll

here is the Polygones.DLL

EDIT: here is the Polygones sources

__________________________

Also, I have made some changes to fix bugs on the ThetaCurves.DLL

here is the DLL

here is the source

Bugs fixed:

  • Missing dot in some curves making the fill effect useless...
    Tiling is now working. Advice is to use the Dot mode (Line mode takes too long time)
    Since Paint.net V3.0 the error for small pictures seams self corrected!

Known Bugs:

  • Preview isn't shown perfectly...

==> to BoltBait :

Could you change the topic title (Codelab + Plugin...)?

MadJik: you should add the anti-aliasing function of your Oblique plugin to the Theta curves and Polygons plugins...

I have made some changes on the ThetaCurves.DLL

It's faster now!

here is the DLL

The source isn't uploaded (so it's linked to previous version)

///////////////

I can't find a way to add anti-alias on Polygone and Thetacurve effects... So if someone could be kind to point me some code for that...

///////////////

Also I can't find the code to organize the submenu plugins (it seems simple for Rick, but for me I need a source code)... So if someone could be kind to point me some code for that too...

EDIT: I've find a solution in the paint.net source v2.72 : Text search on the full folder "submenu" point me out the bulge code with the solution in!

Polygone Effect : download the new version!

Faster !

Slider for rotation (instead size)

Effect in the submenu "Effects/Shapes"

here is the DLL

____________________________________________

new.jpg

Thetacurves Effect : download the new version!

it's now calles Spiro-Shapes Effect

Faster !

Effect in the submenu "Effects/Shapes"

here is the DLL

____________________________________________

To install:

Close Paint.net

Unzip and (re)place the DLL in your Effect folder usualy: C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\Effects

You could delete the Thetacurves.dll if it exists!

This is a single program. I don't know how to match the interface to paint.net

BTW, I just realized when too many rotation applied, the round error will cause R1 gets shorter. Therefore, cos and sin might be better

@Ghost_ARCHER:

I transformed your VB into codelab and made this star:

This is the codelab:

     int n =7;
     float a =0;
     float b =0;
     int R1 =290;
     int R2=R1/4;
     int ray =3;

     PdnRegion selectionRegion = EnvironmentParameters.GetSelection(src.Bounds);
     Rectangle selection = this.EnvironmentParameters.GetSelection(src.Bounds).GetBoundsInt();

     long CenterX = (long)(((selection.Right - selection.Left) / 2) + selection.Left);
     long CenterY = (long)(((selection.Bottom - selection.Top) / 2) + selection.Top);
     int pt = 0;

Wow! You makes it looks very pro.

I am coming up with a new idea, a plugin to make gears -- in fact, it should be generally to be a multiple folded center point symmetric, with the target curve represents by bezier curve (therefore we are dealing with points in fact and finally connect them by bezier curve) --- need some restriction to prevent it looks stupid.

BTW, I am sorry the vector operation is not flawless -- even it is fast to calculate a 3000 vertex star, the end can't be closed because of the round off error. Only cos and sin can survive.

        Dim n As Integer = 7
       Dim a As Double = 30.0
       Dim b As Double = 0.0
       Dim R1 As Integer = 250 'CInt(Math.Min(Me.ClientSize.Width, Me.ClientSize.Height) / 2 - 4)
       Dim R2 As Integer = 200 'CInt(R1 / 2)
       Dim ray As Integer = 2

       Dim x1, y1, x2, y2, xt, yt As Integer
       Dim x0 As Integer = 300 ' CInt(Me.ClientSize.Width / 2)
       Dim y0 As Integer = 300 ' CInt(Me.ClientSize.Height / 2)
       Dim aa As Single = a * Math.PI / 180
       Dim bb As Single = b * Math.PI / 180
       Dim cc As Single = Math.PI / n
       xt = x0 + R2 * Math.Cos(bb - cc)
       yt = x0 + R2 * Math.Sin(bb - cc)

       Dim i As Integer
       For i = 0 To n Step 1
           x1 = x0 + R1 * Math.Cos(aa + bb + 2 * i * cc)
           y1 = x0 + R1 * Math.Sin(aa + bb + 2 * i * cc)
           x2 = x0 + R2 * Math.Cos(bb + (2 * i + 1) * cc)
           y2 = x0 + R2 * Math.Sin(bb + (2 * i + 1) * cc)

           If ray = 2 Or ray = 3 Then
               gr.DrawLine(Pens.Red, x1, y1, x2, y2)
               gr.DrawLine(Pens.Red, x1, y1, xt, yt)
           End If

           If ray = 1 Or ray = 3 Then
               gr.DrawLine(Pens.Red, x0, y0, x1, y1)
               gr.DrawLine(Pens.Red, x0, y0, x2, y2)
           End If
           xt = x2
           yt = y2
       Next

The bezier curve to draw gear ends with result, might be used somewhere else

I've created another plugin based on Ghost_ARCHER visual basic code (the first version, not the one with bezier curves).

0002it6.jpg

(picture from Ghost_ARCHER)

It's allow you to draw stars (different than Boltbait polygon http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=2580 )

Effect in the submenu "Effects/Render".

Anti-Aliasing methode (checkbox).

Use the actual brush width.

here is the DLL

____________________________________________

To install:

Close Paint.net

Unzip and (re)place the DLL in your Effect folder usualy: C:\Program Files\Paint.NET\Effects

____________________________________________

here is the Sources

An example where I've used this plugin:

Hey guys...came up with this odd result after playing with the effects here:

stars.png

I created a flower-shape (ala http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=3731), selected the center, deleted it, and then tried to add a star in the middle...it turned out that it also added some sort of strange black border as well. Is this a glitch perhaps?
