      Hello, I got a bit of interest in creating texture image files via Ruby or/and win32-api, and thus, sincerely NEED your help. It started out with a simple-rays plugin. Simple-Rays basically scans with a simplified raytest, calculates the shading, creates the shading textures, and colors the faces. To me, it was a pretty interesting to discover, that it creates the texture images and uploads them to SU. Of that, tried, figuring out how Simple-Rays creates images, but figured its too hard, and thus need help!

      Want To Know How To:

      • Create the right file for the image "wb" or "wt"
      • Create a bitmap
      • Set color for the certain pixel of the bitmap
      • Write a bitmap into the file
      • Save the file into different modes (.bmp, .jpg, .png, or .jpeg).

      Already Know How To:

      • Upload an image to SU
      • And Use it For my benefit (pretty simple)

      Maybe, there already is some topics for that, but I couldn't find. Url links, and example scripts would help.

      Thankyou

        FYI... SketchUp uses PaintLib internally.

        It's openSource... see: http://www.paintlib.de/paintlib/
        and the source here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/paintlib/

        I'm not here much anymore.

          Thanks, converting textures to the other formats, sounds good.

          Is there is a reference on how to create a bmp(a simple file mode) file, set the width/height of the image and set the color of the each pixel?
