If I have an image, say 256x256, and I want to "mask out" the surrounding area so that only a circle of radius 256 pixels is shown in a TImageEnView component (sort of like the common way to display avatars on various online sites), how would I do this?

Hi

You can make a perfectly circular crop using:

https://www.imageen.com/help/TImageEnProc.Crop.html


sz := imin( ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.Width, ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.Height );
x := ( ImageEnView1.Bitmap.Width - sz ) div 2;
y := ( ImageEnView1.Bitmap.Height - sz ) div 2;
ImageEnView1.Proc.Crop( x, y, x + sz, y + sz, iesEllipse );

"There is no overloaded version of 'Crop' that can be called with these arguments"

on the line:

Avatar.Proc.Crop(0,0,Avatar.Bitmap.Width,Avatar.Bitmap.Height,TIEShape.iesEllipse);

where

Avatar : TImageEnView;

Using: ImageEn Build 13.0.0.27.7132 @ 15-Nov-23 10:54:47

Okay - installed v13.1 that I had lying around, but hadn't installed yet, and it now compiles.

Hi

Yes, it was introduced in 13.1.0. Also in the upcoming release you can force a perfect circle.

How do I extract the processed image and save it as a transparent PNG file? I've tried

Image.Bitmap.SaveToFile(...)

but the cut out area is not transparent. Have also tried "upgrading" the BitMap to 32-bit, fiddle around with Image.Proc.SetTransparentColor and other stuff, but can't get it to save the proper .PNG file with the transparency..

Hi

You should use:

ImageEnView1.IO.SaveToFile( 'image.png' );

Ah, yeah. The one thing I didn't try

I was focused on the Bitmap itself...

Thank you...

ImageEn tends not to use the Bitmap, which is just a standard TBitmap with many limitations. You can use the IEBitmap property which is our enhanced bitmap class:
