Comment on iOS: Converting UIImage to RGBA8 Bitmaps and Back by Paul Solt

Hi Chris,

Use this function:

NSString* str = [[NSString alloc] initWithBytes:buffer length:sizeof(buffer) encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];

If you want to reduce the size of the string use Base64:

This seems to be a related solution:
I’m trying to zoom a UIView. At the end I`m doing this:
1.- Store initial myView.frame.size.width (in viewDidLoad method)
2.- Establish limits to zoom up and down related to initial width (in scale or equivalent method), through if statement; in 3 ranges:
2.1.- width between allowed limits: scale freely;
2.2.- below lower limits: only scale if it is going to zoom up ([gestureRecognizer scale] is bigger than lastScale)
2.3.- above allowed limit: only scale when it is going to decreased size ([gestureRecognizer scale] is smaller than lastScale)
Thanks for your help

I need to take an image and convert it to a string containing the bytes in a bitmap file so I can upload it in a webservice call (not my design – but it’s what I’m stuck with). Is there a good way to take the unsigned char *bitmap and convert that to an NSString? I’m stuck.

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback. We’re researching new techniques for image creation, but don’t have an ETA yet. Do you have examples of styles you’d like to see?

More controls is a feature that other users have requested. We’re evaluating how to add some of those controls.

Thanks,
Paul Solt

Just some ideas on Artwork Revolution:
1. More styles for original artwork. Currently all the artworks are based on very psychedelic, metallic abstract DNAs. I’m guessing it’s because of the limitations the programme has, but it’ll be great to create something different.
2. Enable adjusting hue, contrast, saturation, etc. This seems more practical and useful if users are going to be the resource of artwork.

Thank you! After struggling for hours on this problem, I finally stumbled upon your code. Quite helpful to get mine working. I had significant trouble with specifying the callback functions for glut, without actually writing them in the class.

Thanks!

Hello. Very cool app. Have you seen EndlessForms.com and Picbreeder.org? Both are similar ideas, and seem to have a few key ingredients that would really help your app. I’d be happy to let you know what those ingredients are if you email me. Any interest in building an app for EndlessForms?
