Paint.Net Request for some existing effects.

[MadJik]

Hi Rick, (and the PDN team? Tom?)

I made AddNoise+ with the idea you could update the built-it Addnoise effect.

I made the TwistZ with the same idea...

I'm just about to do a +version of the tiles reflection effect (tiles XL):

Angle: value -450 to 450, and amount divided by 10 (or add a decimal position)

Square size: increase the maximum up to 800...

Curvature: Value -200 to 200.

And perhaps a new slider for the quality, and it is a constant in the code...

Thanks for Paint.Net !

I was just thinking of making a request about Tile reflect :o

And 1 of the thing is make larger sizes.

How are you reading my mind :shock: :?:

Square size: increase the maximum up to 800... How about making it nice and even number like 1000, possible?

[MadJik]

@Ash:

1. 800 coz it's the width of the default image. But I'm ok with 1000!

2. I only have an internet connection... (no interBRAIN cnx)!

3. How to you think I made this one ?

Do you want the DLL for tilesXL?

[Ash]

Yeah I was wondering how you made the large tile

And yes, I believe everybody wants the tilesXL! :!:

Thanks!

Heh just hold your horses, I'm working on some really cool stuff for the next release, especially in the area of plugin development. (goodbye "1 2 3 amount" dialogs ...)

Really? Aww....now you're going to make me have to build anticipation.

How about the fact that this code is all it takes to generate the following UI...

Once it's this easy to write the UI, it's also this easy to change the UI. Without being restricted to 3 lame sliders.

(there's also some extra code for handling localization, but you don't need to write it and can just use default EnumValue.ToString()-style names)

protected override PropertyCollection CreatePropertyCollection()
{
   List props = new List();

   props.Add(new Int32Property(PropertyNames.Factor, 1, 1, 10));
   props.Add(new DoubleProperty(PropertyNames.Zoom, 10, 0, 100));
   props.Add(new AngleProperty(PropertyNames.Angle));

   props.Add(new DoubleVectorProperty(
       PropertyNames.Offset, 
       Pair.MakePair(0.0, 0.0),
       Pair.MakePair(-1.0, -1.0),
       Pair.MakePair(1.0, 1.0)));

   props.Add(new Int32Property(PropertyNames.Quality, 2, 1, 4));
   props.Add(new BooleanProperty(PropertyNames.InvertColors));

   return new PropertyCollection(props, new PropertyCollectionRule[0]);
}

   props.Add(new BooleanProperty(PropertyNames.InvertColors));

   return new PropertyCollection(props, new PropertyCollectionRule[0]);
}

So, basically this new plug-in arcitechture will kinda replace CodeLab, or will it be a seperate function?

CodeLab will still be around. (Currently, there is no better place to prototype effects!) It's just that the UI code stuff I wrote will no longer be needed. CodeLab will be updated.

[Rick Brewster]

Nothing is being removed. People aren't happy when their plugins just stop working for no reason Not exactly an incentive to upgrade to the latest version.

[MadJik]

Only good news!

Thanks Rick...
