OpenGL image to bitmap file

[ssf]

I have a Windows openGL application for display of offshore structures and I want to give users the option to save an image as a bitmap file for use in other applications.

Quickwin offers this option in SAVEIMAGE and SAVEIMAGE_W, but the simple option is not present in a Windows application. Several CVF samples shows how to read a bitmap file, but no examples show how to save a bitmap file.

I would appreciate to se a code example showing the steps to perform to save an openGL image (an other windows images) as a bitmap file.

I have now solved my problem. The attached subroutine SAVEBMI will save a bitmapimage in a bitmap file if the bitmap uses 24 or 32 bit colors. I hope it will be usefull for others.

I edited your response to add PRE tags so that the source appeared properly. There seems to be source lines missing at the end, though...

Steve,

Could you add [font size='+0'] tags inside the

tags? The code will be more readable. Then if we just had the last few lines .... :-)

Feel free to remove this message afterwards to eliminate clutter.

I'm writing a graphics post-processor at the moment, and I'd love to be able to save bitmaps. I've tried incorporating the above code, but something seems to be missing (apart from the obvious). Was the full version ever posted?? or has anyone got a better way of doing it?

all the best

OK

I've worked out the obvious missing piece myself

.....
do ih=height,1,-1
if (bm%bmBitsPixel .eq. 24) then
bmrow(1:rdimbm) = bmbits(:,ih)
else
jw = 1
kw = 1
do iw=1,width
bmrow(jw:jw+2) = bmbits(kw:kw+2,ih)
jw = jw+3
kw = kw+4
end do
end if
write(bmfu) bmrow
end do
close(unit=bmfu)
900 end

works for me

thanks

Steve

Wow...thanks for that code. Works beautifully for my CREATE SCREENSHOT button in my troubleshooting area. I just had to put in my own width and height data (you call your own subroutine in your code for that, I believe).

Thanks!!!
