  • Rank Filters
  • Hue Lightness and Saturation (HLS) Model and Manipulating Colours
  • Floyd-Stucci Colour Reduction Method and Gray Scaling

  • Colour Depth Control - saving a true Win32 BMP file with your chosen colour depth. Includes Octree Colour Quantisation code from Brian Schimpf.
• Streaming .WAV file player - play wave files of any size asynchronously using the digital audio multimedia API.

• Image Processing in VB using the VB Picture object - Demonstrates a simple class for blurring, sharpening and embossing images.
• Transparent Sprite Library - A full sprite implementation showing double buffering and providing a slightly mad screen saver which you can easily customise!

Projects under development:

• MIDI in VB using the High Performance Timer.
• DirectX Audio mixing, digital effects and streaming. Until then, please check out the fantastic stuff at Patrice Scribe's Area 51 site
• Alpha blending bitmaps using the new Win98 bitmap functions (also NT5, which will probably have been released once I've finished this!) - I haven't even got Win98 yet! Want to help? The documentation is all there in MSDN under Platform SDK-> Graphics and Multimedia Services-> GDI-> Bitmaps. Looks cool!
