   +----CK_StaticBitmap

The CK_StaticBitmap class represents a simple, non-animated bitmap. The CK_StaticBitmap provides two factory methods for creating objects of this type. There are no additional member functions beyond those defined in CK_Bitmap.

See CK_Bitmap for more information.

Factory Methods

createFromFile

Creates a CK_Bitmap from a CK_Image.

createFromImage

Creates a CK_Bitmap from a CK_Image.

Inherited Methods

draw

Draws the bitmap to the Chilkat engine's render surface.

drawScaled

Draws a stretched or shrunken bitmap to the render surface.

drawTiled

Fills the render surface, or a portion of the render surface, by tiling the bitmap.

getHeight

Returns the height in pixels of the bitmap.

getNumPalettes

Returns the number of palettes contained in the bitmap.Only 8 bit-per-pixel bitmaps have palettes.

getWidth

Returns the width in pixels of the bitmap.

isPaletteBitmap

Returns TRUE if the bitmap is 8 bits-per-pixel.

isTransparent

Returns TRUE if the bitmap has transparency.

• static CK_StaticBitmap *createFromFile(const char *fileName);

Creates a CK_StaticBitmap from a .pcx, .bmp, or .cim file. Files with the .cim extension contain a serialized CK_StaticImage object.

Parameters

fileName

The name of a file containing a static image. The factory method first creates a CK_StaticImage from the contents of the file, and then creates a CK_StaticBitmap from the CK_StaticImage. The CK_StaticBitmap is returned, and the CK_StaticImage is deleted.

• static CK_StaticBitmap *createFromImage(const CK_StaticImage *image);

Creates a CK_StaticBitmap from a CK_StaticImage. Returns a pointer to the CK_StaticBitmap created.

Parameters

image

The image used to create the CK_StaticBitmap. If the image has transparency, the CK_StaticBitmap will have the same transparency. If the image is 8 bits-per-pixels, the palettes in the image will be present in the CK_StaticBitmap.
