I need develop a circular progress bar in delphi 2007, I can't use third-party components (company policy). I'm using a Canvas, drawing an arc, that's works fine, but the image is at a very low resolution. It's possible to improve the resolution in canvas drawing?
Code sample:
procedure TForm1.DrawPieSlice(const Canvas: TCanvas; const Center: TPoint;
const Radius: Integer; const StartDegrees, StopDegrees: Double);
//Get it in http://delphidabbler.com/tips/148
const
Offset = 90;
var
X1, X2, X3, X4: Integer;
Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4: Integer;
begin
X1 := Center.X - Radius;
Y1 := Center.Y - Radius;
X2 := Center.X + Radius;
Y2 := Center.Y + Radius;
X4 := Center.X + Round(Radius * Cos(DegToRad(Offset + StartDegrees)));
Y4 := Center.y - Round(Radius * Sin(DegToRad(Offset + StartDegrees)));
X3 := Center.X + Round(Radius * Cos(DegToRad(Offset + StopDegrees)));
Y3 := Center.y - Round(Radius * Sin(DegToRad(Offset + StopDegrees)));
Canvas.Arc(X1, Y1, X2, Y2, X3, Y3, X4, Y4);
end;
procedure TForm1.SpinEdit1Change(Sender: TObject);
var
Center: TPoint;
Bitmap: TBitmap;
Radius: Integer;
p: Pointer;
begin
Label1.Caption:= SpinEdit1.Text+'%';
Bitmap := TBitmap.Create;
try
Bitmap.Width := Image1.Width;
Bitmap.Height := Image1.Height;
Bitmap.PixelFormat := pf24bit;
Bitmap.HandleType := bmDIB;
Bitmap.ignorepalette := true;
Bitmap.Canvas.Brush.Color := clBlack;
Bitmap.Canvas.Pen.Color := clHighlight;
Bitmap.Canvas.Pen.Width := 10;
Center := Point(Bitmap.Width div 2, Bitmap.Height div 2);
Radius := 61;
DrawPieSlice(Bitmap.Canvas, Center, Radius,0,round(SpinEdit1.Value * -3.6));
Image1.Picture.Graphic := Bitmap;
finally
Bitmap.Free;
end;
end;
Result:
I am open to proposals for other solutions.
If you are not allowed to use any third-party graphic library with anti-aliasing possibilities, consider using GDI+, which is included in Windows, and Delphi has a wrapper for it.
uses
..., GDIPAPI, GDIPOBJ, GDIPUTIL //included in Delphi standard modules
var
graphics: TGPGraphics;
SolidPen: TGPPen;
begin
graphics := TGPGraphics.Create(Canvas.Handle);
graphics.SetSmoothingMode(SmoothingModeAntiAlias);
SolidPen := TGPPen.Create(MakeColor(255, 0, 0, 255), 31);
SolidPen.SetStartCap(LineCapRound);
SolidPen.SetEndCap(LineCapRound);
graphics.DrawArc(SolidPen, 100, 100, 100, 100, 0, 270);
graphics.Free;
SolidPen.Free;
