Probs with plugin programming

[tobi235]

Hi,

I have no clue how to program a plugin which saves coordinates in a textfile of an object which is detectet by an algorithm.

Can you help me, how i realize the part of saving the coordinates?

regards

There's a whole forum dedicated to this...

Don't you man File Format API >.>

Also, there is a generic thread title.

Or, sabrown100, you could answer the question.

I have no idea (not a programmer), so I can't. :-)

But he is correct. You should make your thread title more unique. Look at the rules (specifically number 6)

this sucks... :evil:

You should be more patient.

Nobody here is 'at your service, Sir!'

This is an example of code you could reuse to create a text file within an effect type plugin (not a file type).

// Part of code to include in a code for plugin
// to "debug.print" some values in a text file.
// This code alone isn't working!
using System.IO;

[ThreadStatic]
public static bool init = false;
// maybe also declare these varibles as public static!!
public static int margT = -1, margB = -1, margR = -1, margL = -1;

if (!init)
{
 //==========================================
 // calculating process should be here !
 // Example:
 margT = -1; margB = -1; margR = -1; margL = -1;

 // Loop through all the pixels to find Left/Right/Top/Bottom
 // position of an object (something in a transparent area)
 for (int y = selection.Top; y < selection.Bottom; y++)
 {
   for (int x = selection.Left; x < selection.Right; x++)
   {
     CurrentPixel = src[x, y];
     if (CurrentPixel.A > 0) 
     {
       if (margR == -1) { margR = MinX; } else if (x > margR) { margR = x; }
       if (margL == -1) { margL = MaxX; } else if (x < margL) { margL = x; }
       if (margB == -1) { margB = MinY; } else if (y > margB) { margB = y; }
       if (margT == -1) { margT = MaxY; } else if (y < margT) { margT = y; }
     }
   }
 }
 // end of calculating process
 //==========================================

 // This will always rewrite (write over) the file c:\temp\debugtext.txt
 using (StreamWriter streamWriter = new StreamWriter("c:\\temp\\debugtext.txt"))
 {
   streamWriter.WriteLine(String.Concat("//margin Left  :", margL));
   streamWriter.WriteLine(String.Concat("//margin Right :", margR));
   streamWriter.WriteLine(String.Concat("//margin Top   :", margT));
   streamWriter.WriteLine(String.Concat("//margin Bottom:", margB));
   streamWriter.Close();
 }
 init = true;
}

You could provide your code if you want more help!

no, not u or pnd sucks.

my idea sucks.

i realized now a c# project.

i think its better for my requirements and easier to program...

so long

stay tuned

[tobi235]

to ur info, :wink:

i wanted a plugin, that get svg coordinates from a normal bmp.

my problem was the override render method.

This Method overwrites the svg file every time with the new catched coordinates.

And the algorithm to recognize the edges was just to long for a plugin i think.

Ok,

You should already have a lot of information about svg.

This is a link I've found to help me to understand what you are talking about...
