Hello everyone!
This intro begun,
You'll note a new creative aim.
I've struggled to rhyme,
have meter and time,
and yet keep the content the same.
Now check the reviews,
too many to choose!
At last, music disks have been moved.
With index in place,
the .txt we erase,
though ALLFILES "too big" has been proved. :(
Our Nunny is back!
His tasty code snack,
will teach you to bitmap resample.
With Alex explore,
crossfading and more,
the details he's given are ample.
A message from Jim,
'more cool stuff to skim',
on his "PC Demos Explained."
[An apology,
goes to you from me,
for late DemoNews I am blamed.]
In new party news...
Just who'll win and loose,
at The Party nineteen nine-five?
Well, shortly we'll know,
(short weeks left to go,
before this event comes alive).
An ASCII report,
we'll have of some sort,
for three of our own will be there.
My thoughts go along,
with Zodiak's song.
A three-timing champ? (that's a scare)
A DemoNews note,
you'll think "Just who wrote,

To make a long trip,
an issue I'll skip,

=-------------------------------------------------[Bitmap Resampling]--[JsNO]-=
_____Preface
Just recently, I've wanted to resample some large 256 color indexed images
to be used in my oz96 entry. Normally I use Animator Pro 1.3a to do this,
but Animator will not accept bitmap images greater than the actual display
area (namely 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768).
So there was a problem for me... I had to resample these images, but didn't
have the software available. I looked around the net for a day or so
before I decided to write my own. I've used no formal method to make this
as I didn't know of any when writing it (until Trixter pointed this out to
me afterwards). So this is the "nunny method" I guess.
For the purposes of this program/article, "resampling" means reducing the
actual colors present in a given bitmap. You can do lots of other stuff
with these algorithms I have provided, like changing the RGB ratio or
changing the intensity etc... but i won't be covering that here.
_____Introduction
The problem any demo coder faces when making a demo is that the 256 colour
boundary is never enough. Your graphics artist, or your scanner may
produce a set of pictures that you would want displayed on the screen at
any one time, but can't due to this "256 boundary".
Bitmap A will total 200 colors, bitmap B will total 80 colors and bitmap
C may contain 100 colors... so how can we make it possible for all these
bitmaps to be displayed at once?. - Simple, we shrink the colors for each
bitmap, and the program I have written goes about it in the following way
(refer to my PRESAMP.ASM program, found at ftp.cdrom.com under
/demos/incoming/code/presamp.zip):
1. The palette RGB values are first copied to what I call a the "palette
statistic table." Each R G B colour is "resampled."
R resampled value = (R * factor) > 8
G resampled value = (G * factor) > 8
B resampled value = (B * factor) > 8
You will see later why we do this.
2. The computer adds up the frequencies of each RGB index (i.e. how many
times they occur in the bitmap) in the palette stat table.
3. This stat table is then sorted in descending order (i.e. in an order of
most occurring to least occurring). It uses the above frequencies as a
basis for sorting.
4. Now we go through the palette statistic table and try to reduce the RGB
values, as the above RGB values have been resampled (i.e. reduced). We
will have a lot of indexes that will be of the same RGB value. We then
simply go through and kill identical RGB values so that we have only
unique RGB values in our table.
The color will start from the top of the list and compare "the most used
indices" with the least used indices. The most used colors are the
colors we want to actually have "left over". This is because a user
will see these given color values on the screen the most.
If one, two, or more of the same RGB value are found, the algorithm will
trade the most popular or for the least popular, so that only the most
popular have been substituted. When each unique colour is reduced or a
single/unique value is found, it is stored to a new palette statistic
table. We then link the index values of these two tables so we know how
to translate the new index for each pixel.
BTW: Sorry if I'm not explaining this very well.. I'm not a very good
columnist. :)
5. Once we have reduced (simplified - a better word) our statistic palette,
we can now begin to "translate" the actual bitmap values from our old
palette statistic table and newly compiled palette statistic table.
The computer will go through each pixel, and translate its index value
and respective RGB value according to the old palette. This value is
then resampled...
R resampled value = (R * factor) > 8
G resampled value = (G * factor) > 8
B resampled value = (B * factor) > 8
...and compared with the resampled values in our palette statistic
table. Once a match is found, we can now translate the palette index
value found in the old palette statistic table to a palette index value
found in our new palette statistic table.
The RGB colour value found in this entry is the color that will be used,
and the position index of this entry within the table is the translated
pixel value of our new pixel. We do this for every pixel until the
entire bitmap has been converted.
I didn't explain that very well did I? Here is a better way of
explaining it, with an extract of my code:
mov ah,[edi+tpal_stat_table.index_pal]
mov edi,offset new_pal_stat_table
xor dl,dl
@@f_match_newrbg:
cmp ah,[edi+tpal_stat_table.index_pal]
jne @@f_no_newrgb
mov [esi],dl
jmp @@index_xlated
@@f_no_newrgb:
add edi,size tpal_stat_table
add dl,1
jnc @@f_match_newrbg
@@f_no_match:
add edi,size tpal_stat_table
add dh,1
jnc @@f_match_rgbl
Here is an entity relationship diagram that may aid your understanding:
/\
pal_stat_table ---------- / \ ----- new_pal_stat_table -------.
/ | \ / | \
/ |- Pallette Index \/ |- Pallette Index \

| `- Tally |

`-- Old Bitmap Translated Bitmap --'
The program is ready made, but if you need to modify it you will need TASM
and DOS32V32.
To run the program type in:
PRESAMP -sXX -cXX <filein>.VGA <fileout>.VGA
-sXX being a decimal number from 00 to FF. This is the position in the
palette table of the bitmap where you want colors to start from.
-sXX being a decimal number from 00 to FF is the total number of colors you
want in the resampled bitmap.
For example:
PRESAMP -s00 -c80 in.vga out.vga
_____Other Issues
You could expand this program to except a number of bitmaps at once, to
pool all their palettes to together. As the possible number of colors will
increase, better quality pictures will be achieved than simply reducing
each one separately. This is because bitmaps will be "borrowing" colors
from other bitmaps that fit more closely with the old bitmap color. Also,
you could make it "protect" certain regions of the palette, so that those
colors will always be considered first. You can do this by forcing these
colors to be sorted first in the palette statistic table.
This program will consider ALL color indices whether they are used or not
used in the source bitmap. This means that if you ask it to reduce the
bitmap to 50 colors and it only used 128 of these colors, the resultant
color total will be less than 50. Although it is poor coding on my part,
it greatly simplifies things.. it's ok for what I want it to do anyway. :)
Hand on, now I come to think of it, an easy way to get around this is to
simply extrapolate the target colors with the number of actual colors:
target_colors modified_target_colors
----------------- = -----------------------
no_source_colors 256
You can modify the RGB ratio of the bitmaps by playing around with the
resample code:
R resampled value = (R * factor) > 8
G resampled value = (G * factor) > 8
B resampled value = (B * factor) > 8
Hence you can make am image a little bit more red, or a little bit more
green etc. NB/ Only bias the values either at palette statistic
construction or the translation stage only..not both. If you do, it won't
have any effect.
_____Conclusion
Lastly, this program is a hack (ie - rough as guts). Therefore, once it
worked, I stopped coding. Improvements in speed can be made in the
translation process by changing all the exhaustive searches to binary
searches etc. This would greatly improve speed.
See ya.

=--------------------------------[VGA Hardware Tricks, Part 2.5/6]--[Trixter]-=
_____Preface
Welcome to VGA Hardware Tricks, a six-part series written by
Trixter/Hornet. In this special insert into the series (contributed by
Trouls of TnT), we'll take one last look at crossfading; this time, with
128-color pictures. (Next week we'll resume our original schedule.)
_____Introduction
By now you're probably wondering where the multi-color techniques that I
wrote about last time are. Well, Trouls of TnT (alias Alex Wenger) wrote
me right after I did my article on crossfading 16 and 256-color pictures
and pointed out something that I forgot to describe: Crossfading 128-color
pictures. He even went so far as to write source code and a small article,
so I'm pleased to reprint that information here.
Crossfading 128-color pictures is extremely simple. Since the total number
of combined colors is 256, we can effectively plot both pictures to the
screen, make one picture's palette all black, and then fade that palette
from black to colors as we fade the other to black. Simple, eh?
_____Overview
How you decide to *arrange* all those pixels, however, is a different
story. Alex writes of two possible solutions:
1. Set the video mode to 320x400.
2. Load the first picture, put the 1st line of image data in the 1st line
of VGA memory, the 2nd image line in the 3th VGA line, and the 3th line
in the 5th line and so on (hence putting each line of picture data on
every _other_ line of VGA memory).
Like this:
Picture1: VGA-Ram: Picture2:
xxxxxx ------> xxxxxx ____ yyyyyy
xxxxxx ____ yyyyyy <---' ___ yyyyyy
xxxxxx ___ `-> xxxxxx / _ yyyyyy
xxxxxx _ \ yyyyyy <---' / yyyyyy
\ `-> xxxxxx / /
\ yyyyyy <----' /
`--> xxxxxx /
yyyyyy <----'
3. Load the second picture in the lines that are still free. Convert the
colors that picture 1 uses pallette entries 0-127, and the colors
that picture 2 uses to entries 128-255.
4. Prepare the palette for picture 1 by setting colors 128-255 black.
5. Fade the pallette from picture 1's pallette to picture 2's pallette.
If you want to, you can try this pattern:
VGA-Ram:
xyxyxyxy
yxyxyxyx
xyxyxyxy
yxyxyxyx
It's simple to program. It's also possible to reserve a few palette
entries for a logo or something.
_____Code
Code that achieves this effect is available on ftp.cdrom.com in the
directory /pub/demos/hornet/demonews/vgahard in the file vgahar25.zip. To
compile the code directly, you'll need Turbo Pascal 7.0 or later. The code
can be compiled on earlier compilers as well, but some slight modification
might be necessary.
_____Notes
This technique has been used extensively before; most recently, in the end
credits part of Orange's X14 demo. They used the pixel-interleaving to
overlay text on a twisting column; it's the same idea.
Alex also wrote of one other thing, and while it's not a VGA hardware
effect, it's something that beginners might not have thought of: Pixel
crossfading. In this technique, all you have to do is make sure both
pictures have the same palette, no matter how many colors; then,
*gradually* overwrite the onscreen's picture with the other picture's
pixels.
- Change every 7 (or whatever you want) pixels until the whole picture
is done and you have a nice crossfading effect.
- Change the pixels along lines or change whole blocks of pixels for a
slide show effect.
_____Conclusion
With the addition of this special "insert" in this series, I'm pretty sure
we've exhausted crossfading. :-) Next week, we'll be delving into fun
stuff: How to make your standard VGA card display more than 256 colors at
once. Have fun until then!
