VC++ Example: Draw Emboss text and other Shadow shape on your bitmap

 
Zafir Anjum  

This is best explained with pictures. The left most image is some text and a simple shape. The image in the middle is the bitmap on which we want to emboss the first image. The result is shown in the third image. So, this topic will basically give you the code to achieve this result. The code also allows you to get a sunk-in effect rather than a raised effect.

The basic idea behind the Emboss() function given below is very simple. It creates a monochrome bitmap that represents the edges that need to be highlighted and it creates another monochrome bitmap of the edges that need a shadow. These two bitmaps are then used to draw the highlight and the shadow. The detail, however, is a little bit more involved. Let's cover the main steps, one at a time.

The raised and sunken effect is merely achieved by using a lighter color on one edge and a darker color on the other edge. If we use a light color for the edges towards the top left then we get a raised effect. Conversely, if we use a dark color for the edges towareds the top left then we get a sunken effect. So, if the function is called with the bRaised flag set to false, then we simply swap the highlight and the shadow color to get a sunken effect.

The next major step is creating the highlight bitmap. We use a monochrome bitmap for this purpose since a monochrome bitmap has just a background and a foreground and makes our tucancode.net simpler.

  1. We set the entire bitmap to white using PatBlt(). White is the background color in monochrome bitmap. This assures that any portion of the bitmap not drawn to will have the background color.
  2. Next we copy the source image to the highlight bitmap using BitBlt() to get a monochrome image. We copy the image 1 pixel closer to the top-left corner. Our purpose is to get a one pixel wide highlight edge for all the edges towards the top-left corner.
  3. This is the important step. We use another BitBlt() to remove all the extra edges in the highlight bitmap. We use the MERGEPAINT raster operation for this. What MERGEPAINT does is, it converts all the pixels in the destination bitmap (the highlight bitmap) corresponding to a foreground pixel in the source to white (the background color). Any pixel in the destination bitmap is unchanged when the corresponding pixel in the source is a background pixel. This explanation applies because we are dealing with a monochrome bitmap as the destination bitmap. Note that we do not use an offset for this operation, e.i. the destination x and y coordinates as well as the source x and y coordinates are all zero. The net effect of step 2 and 3 is that we get a single pixel wide line for all the edges that need to be highlighted.

In a similar manner, we create the shadow bitmap. We then copy the the background bitmap onto the result bitmap and then draw the highlight edges using the highlight color and the shadow edges using the shadow color. To copy the highlight and shadow colors we use the raster op-code 0x00B8074A. This is also represented as PSDPxax which is reverse polish notation for ((P^D)&S)^P, where P,S and D stand for pattern brush, source and destination. This probably still doesn't make a lot of sense so I'll just tell you what the effect of this raster operation is. Given that the text color is black and the background color is white - we set this up by calling SetBkColor() and SetTextColor() - the result of the raster operation is that for every black pixel ( the foreground color in a monochrome bitmap ) in the source the brush color is copied to the destination. You will note that we do select an appropriate brush before the call to BitBlt().
