I have two animated gifs i created. I want to add them to a new bitmap side by side so i will see both animated gifs animation. Not as stil image but two animation side by side.
This code is in the top of form1 im using now:
public static class BitmapExtensions
{
public static Bitmap DoubleBitmap(this Bitmap bm)
{
Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(bm.Width * 2, bm.Height);
using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bitmap))
{
g.DrawImage(bm, Point.Empty);
g.DrawImage(bm, new Point(bm.Width, 0));
return bitmap;
}
}
public static Bitmap AppendBitmap(this Bitmap bm, Bitmap rightBitmap)
{
Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(bm.Width + rightBitmap.Width, Math.Max(bm.Height, rightBitmap.Height));
using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bitmap))
{
g.DrawImage(bm, Point.Empty);
g.DrawImage(rightBitmap, new Point(bm.Width, 0));
return bitmap;
}
}
}
Then i use it like this:
private void CreateNewImage(string DirOfUrls)
{
List<string> files = Directory.GetFiles(DirOfUrls, "RainImage*.*").ToList();
List<string> files1 = Directory.GetFiles(DirOfUrls, "SatelliteImage*.*").ToList();
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(@"d:\localpath\RainMapGif");//files1[i]);
Bitmap bmp1 = new Bitmap(@"d:\localpath\SatelliteMapGif");//files[i]);
//Use it
//Double the same image
Bitmap doubledBitmap = bmp1.DoubleBitmap();
//Append new image
Bitmap appendedBitmap = bmp1.AppendBitmap(bmp);
appendedBitmap.Save(@"d:\localpath\newbitmapGif", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Gif);
}
RainMapGif and SatelliteMapGif are animated gif's. But when i tried to do it this way i get one new bitmap with two stills images and not two animtions of the two animated gifs.
How can i add both animated gifs to one bitmap and when i open the bitmap on internet explorer for example i will see both animations moving of the two gifs side by side ?
EDIT**
This is how i used it before :
private void CreateNewImage(string DirOfUrls)
{
int newImageCounter = 0;
List<string> files = Directory.GetFiles(DirOfUrls, "RainImage*.*").ToList();
List<string> files1 = Directory.GetFiles(DirOfUrls, "SatelliteImage*.*").ToList();
for (int i = 0; i < files.Count; i++)
{
if (newImageCounter == 9)
{
CreateNewGif(DirOfUrls);
//break;
}
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(files1[i]);
Bitmap bmp1 = new Bitmap(files[i]);
//Use it
//Double the same image
Bitmap doubledBitmap = bmp1.DoubleBitmap();
//Append new image
Bitmap appendedBitmap = bmp1.AppendBitmap(bmp);
appendedBitmap.Save(@"d:\localpath\newbitmap" + newImageCounter.ToString("D6"), System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Gif);
newImageCounter++;
}
So i have 9 images of both of them the RainMap images and the SatelliteMap images. And the rest of the SatelliteMap images are singles.
Then im using CreateNewGif:
private void CreateNewGif(string urlsdirs)
{
List<string> files = Directory.GetFiles(urlsdirs, "RainImage*.*").ToList();
List<string> files1 = Directory.GetFiles(urlsdirs, "SatelliteImage*.*").ToList();
List<string> test = files;
test.RemoveRange(0, files1.Count);
List<string> newbitmap = Directory.GetFiles(localdir, "newbitmap*.*").ToList();
for (int i = 0; i < test.Count; i++)
{
newbitmap.Add(test[i]);
}
uf.MakeGIF(newbitmap, localdir + "newbitmapGif", 50, true);
}
And make new animated gif:
uf.MakeGIF(newbitmap, localdir + "newbitmapGif", 50, true);
But the new animated gif is not good since the rain images ending before the satellite images so the new animated gif show both animation and after 9 frames only one is continue.
How can i make that the one with the 9 images will keep continue animated over and over again and the second one will keep animated untill the end ?
This is the problem veljkoz wrote about before. One animation count is shorter then the other one. But how can i solve it ?
