im using Delphi 4
i wanna create new 100x100 Pixel 256 color bitmap file
how can i create?

and then   i wanna put pixel  in the bitmap file

like this ...
 mybitmap:=create.bitmap[256 color,100,100 pixel]
  r:=255;
  g:=0
  b:=0;
  mybitmap.putpixel[50,50,r,g,b];
end;

Please help i really need that ...
thanks for your interests

Using the Pixels property will be very slow.  Scanline will be much faster.
Look at the pf8bit section of:
http://www.efg2.com/Lab/ImageProcessing/Scanline.htm

Be aware that since you're working with 256-color bitmaps, you also need to
be concerned with getting the palette defined.  (Working with pf24bit is
much simpler since no palette need be defined.)

Hi

Do you want to create a single bitmap or a bitmap in a TImage component ?

Now, i explain to create a single bitmap :

var
  MyBitmap : TBitmap;
begin
  MyBitmap:=TBitmap.Create;
  try
    MyBitmap.Width:=100;
    MyBitmap.Height:=100;

    MyBitmap.Canvas.PutPixel:=$....  // the color of the point;

    // after you do what you want
  finally
    MyBitmap.Dormant;  // to free the gdi resources
    MyBitmap.FreeImage;
    MyBitmap.ReleaseHandle;
    MyBitmap.Free;
  end;
end;

To define the color, you can use

RGB(red value, green value, blue value) : the values are in [0..255] (byte)
the result is a DWORD

Have a good development.

If you need others explains, ask me.

You already asked nearly the same question. I don't know yet exactly
what's your real problem but let's try it once again:

function CreateBitmapWithColoredPixel(const r, g, b: Byte; const x, y: Integer):
TBitmap;
begin
  Result:= TBitmap.Create;
  try
    Result.Height := 100;
    Result.Width := 100;
    Result.PixelFormat := pf8bit;

    Result.Canvas.Pixels[x, y] := RGB(r, g, b);
  except
    Result := nil;
  end;
end;

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  MyBitmap: TBitmap;
begin
  MyBitmap := nil;
  MyBitmap := CreateBitmapWithColoredPixel(255, 0, 0, 50, 50);
  if MyBitmap <> nil then
    Canvas.Draw(10, 10, MyBitmap);
end;

To get a better solution it's necessary to know a little more what you
really want to achieve.

Regards
Toni
