is there a fast way to resize images on SDL?

2

Use the rotozoom feature of SDL_gfx. :stuck_out_tongue:

You can also do it by hand copying pixel per pixel …
But you need to know a little bit of direct access to pixels,
algorithmic, and antialiasing for zoom in.

To give an idea, if you divide an image size by two, you
simply copy pixels with an even x and y coordinate.
This is a very simply example, it is not so straightforward
when the destination size is not an exact divisor of the original size …
(or only the width, not the height and vice versa).

When you make an image bigger, aliasing appear and you need
to apply an antialiasing filter to it (neighbours, gauss, etc.).

If you want to play and learn new things, try doing it by hand, else,
as Andre suggested, use a library having this feature implemented for you,
like SDL_gfx.

I’m trying to strech a surface, i’ve tried rotozoom but it doesn’t work and
how I was interested on the scaling thing I tried one code posted on the
tutorial at http://www.sdltutorials.com/sdl-scale-surface/ but it?s sooo
slow that my proc usage goes to 100% in only a 120% strech of a 320x240
surface.
Here is the code:

SDL_Surface *ScaleSurface(SDL_Surface *Surface, Uint16 Width, Uint16 Height)
{
if(!Surface || !Width || !Height)
return 0;

SDL_Surface *_ret = SDL_CreateRGBSurface(Surface->flags, Width, Height,

Surface->format->BitsPerPixel,
Surface->format->Rmask, Surface->format->Gmask,
Surface->format->Bmask, Surface->format->Amask);

double  _stretch_factor_x = (static_cast<double>(Width)  /

static_cast(Surface->w)),
_stretch_factor_y = (static_cast(Height) /
static_cast(Surface->h));

for(Sint32 y = 0; y < Surface->h; y++)
    for(Sint32 x = 0; x < Surface->w; x++)
        for(Sint32 o_y = 0; o_y < _stretch_factor_y; ++o_y)
            for(Sint32 o_x = 0; o_x < _stretch_factor_x; ++o_x)
                DrawPixel(_ret, static_cast<Sint32>(_stretch_factor_x *

x) + o_x,
static_cast(_stretch_factor_y * y) + o_y,
ReadPixel(Surface, x, y));
return _ret;
}

Can anyone tell me why is it so slow?

Eww… What happened to my formatting?

The fastest way is to use hardware acceleration through OpenGL or DirectX. The easiest is to use Sprig or SDL_gfx. I’m not sure that your computer can handle stretching an image of that size at 60hz. Try a lower framerate. My stuff runs real smooth at 40hz, but I try to use 33 for speed. Either way, you’re saving megabytes of data transfer each second.

Sprig:

You can use SPG_TransformSurface to draw on a pre-existing surface (with colorkey too!). That saves an extra copy and delete in many cases.

try to not allocate a new surface every time. Save the surface, and reuse it.

That should go at least 2x faster, probably more.On Sat, Jul 26, 2008 at 12:41 AM, Andre Botelho wrote:
