SetPixel() for 32 bit float images

owen

In the class c4d.bitmaps.BaseBitmap you can call BaseBitmap.SetPixel() to set the color value of an individual pixel. It seems like it only takes in values between 0 and 255 for RGB. I'm working with MultipassBitmap to create a 32 bit float image and want to be able to modify the individual pixels. Is there a similar way to change the pixel values so I could feed it a value between 0 and 1?

Hello,

you can write 32bit data into a BaseBitmap using SetPixelCnt(). This function allows to write a block of data into the bitmap.

You find example code showing how to use SetPixelCnt() in the documentation, on GitHub or here:

bitmap = c4d.bitmaps.BaseBitmap()
if bitmap is None:
    return

# define bitmap dimensions and bit depth
width = 100
height = 100
pixelBytes = c4d.COLORBYTES_RGBf # RGBf format
pixelBits = pixelBytes * 8

# initialize the BaseBitmap with the given dimensions and bit depth
res = bitmap.Init(width, height, pixelBits)
if res != c4d.IMAGERESULT_OK:
    return

# allocate memory for one line
bufferSize = pixelBytes * width
lineBuffer = storage.ByteSeq(None, bufferSize)

# loop through all lines
for y in xrange(height):
    
    # shade of red based on the position
    red = float(y) / float(height)
    
    offset = 0
    for x in xrange(width):
        # shade of green based on the position
        green = float(x) / float(width)
        
        # fill buffer
        lineBuffer[offset + 0:offset + 4] = struct.pack("f",red)
        lineBuffer[offset + 4:offset + 8] = struct.pack("f", green)
        lineBuffer[offset + 8:offset + 12] = struct.pack("f", 0.0)
        
        offset = offset + pixelBytes
        
    # write full line into the bitmap    
    bitmap.SetPixelCnt(0, y, width, lineBuffer.GetOffset(0), pixelBytes, c4d.COLORMODE_RGBf, c4d.PIXELCNT_0)
        
        
c4d.bitmaps.ShowBitmap(bitmap)

Thanks so much this is exactly what I was looking for.
