Here is an example for C++Builder (the current docs are completely missing such):
int X, Y;
TBitmapData bm;
// get bitmap data access !
if ( Image1->Bitmap->Map(TMapAccess::maReadWrite, bm) )
{
unsigned int* data = (unsigned int*)bm.Data;
// i.e. clear data with alpha color
memset(data, 0,
Image1->Width * Image1->Height * sizeof(unsigned int));
// test direct pixel access here
for (X = 20; X <= 200; X++)
{
for (Y = 10; Y <= 100; Y++)
{
//MyBitmap->Pixels[X][Y] = claLime; // does not work anymore !
bm.SetPixel(X, Y, claLime);
}
}
// now write back the result !
Image1->Bitmap->Unmap(bm);
}
else
{
MessageDlg("Could not map the image data for direct access.",
TMsgDlgType::mtWarning, TMsgDlgButtons() << TMsgDlgBtn::mbOK, 0);
}
