The algorithm only works for downscaling. It is slower than wxIMAGE_QUALITY_HIGH, since it uses float math. (wxIMAGE_QUALITY_HIGH is blur + sample which is integer math only) The process is simple: For each target pixel, compute the average colour of the corresponding area on the source image. Note ...

improved high quality image downscaling

Hello.

The following patch to the image sample shows a different method for downscaling images, that provides a higher quality image than "high quality" scaling.

Regards,
Peer

Your code seems to indicate that you want a sequential flow, where you call the external encrypt program, wait for it, then contine to the next item that needs encryption. Why not use the syncronous version of wxExecute? wxExecute(const wxString& command, wxArrayString& output, int flags = 0...

The license of CodeBlocks is GPL, see http://www.codeblocks.org/license.shtml .. but that only means that you will have to publish any modifications you make to the CodeBlocks source code - and you will probably not modify it. wxSmith generates code but does not force a license on you.

Are you developing a GUI application? In this case you are probably preventing the main thread from doing anything besides waiting in your "while(!encryptDlg->done);" loop. A solution could be to restructure the code to use events instead of polling. I'm not sure what to do if you do not h...

You could also consider CodeBlocks. It runs on OS X as well as the other platforms you mentioned.

See http://www.codeblocks.org/

It includes wxSmith - a tool for designing a gui. See http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?ti ... h_features

So, everything works fine -- except when you are debugging inside Visual Studio. The code looks fine to me. Have you considered debugging it using log-files instead of a debugger? :wink: This is what I do. I often find that too many things happen that is not reproducable in a debugger. Also, race co...

Could you post 1) the content of wxThread::Entry() -- or just the important parts 2) the content of the function that waits & deletes the thread 3) the content of the function that creates & runs your thread 4) a descriptoin of your program, what does it do, how many threads are it using. Re...

Uh, maybe the problem is that when you destroy a thread under Windows, it will die immedieately? That could explain why the thread does not return. If this is the case, then you can solve it by using a mutex/critical section to prevent the destruction of the thread while it is updating: - enter sect...

The documentation is not good enough here. :( The current implementation (at least wxMSW) requires you to do EITHER Delete() OR Wait().

That is, Delete includes an implicit Wait.

If you do both, you will be waiting on a non-existing object.

:oops: My mistake. I ran the exec sample on another computer using mingw and wxMSW-2.6.2 and the GUI did not lock up. I must have selected syncronous or something. BTW, wxInputStream::CanRead() is virtual, and wxExecute creates a wxPipedInputStream, which uses the non-blocking PeekNamedPipe. My mist...

As I understand the semantics of condition.wait, it will unlock the mutex while waiting for the condition AND THEN RELOCK IT when it is signalled.. Thus, the second time you manually call lock, it will be locked already. The wxWidgets documentation is not clear on this, but try to read e.g. http://w...

It seems to me that you forget to unlock the mutexes. I would have used wxMutexLocker instead of manually calling Lock inside the code. As Jorg writes, the intended use of condition and mutex is a bit different from this example. A quick search on the net for a tutorial: http://developer.apple.com/d...

I just compiled the exec sample, and given a client application that simply stops sending on stdout, it blocks the GUI. This is the behaviour I was seeking to avoid. Using a thread, prevents the GUI from locking up, but trades it for a shut-down problem. Try with a client similar to the code below. ...
