DAY 009:_PutImage

[james2464]

I just spent ages trying to work up an example which showcases the blending of the _SMOOTH command, only to have each and every one of them do nothing whatsoever.

Frustrated, I finally dug into the libqb.cpp source to see what it tells us about this _SMOOTH...

Code: (Select All)

        hgc->smooth = 0; // unless specified, no filtering will be applied
        if (passed & 128)
            hgc->smooth = 1;

It basically sets a flag for hgc.smooth to become true instead of false...

And what is hgc iniside libqb?  Hardware Graphic Control....

_SMOOTH *only* works with hardware images.  It does nothing with software images.  As most people tend to work exclusively with software images, _SMOOTH may as well not exist for them.  It's not going to make one whit of a difference in how things look or display. 

Hmm...that's a shame.

I don't know enough about this (Hardware vs software image?)   But anyway thanks for the info.
