For example, we have a base image in jpg format:
base jpg
And the overlay image in png format:
transparent png
This image I want to get as a result of their merger:
My question is: how to get this result using the power of TWICImage?
I can load both images like this:
function DoMerge: TWICImage;
var
wicJPG,
wicPNG: TWICImage;
begin
wicJPG := TWICImage.Create;
wicPNG := TWICImage.Create;
try
wicJPG.LoadFromFile('base.jpg');
wicPNG.LoadFromFile('overlay.png');
Result := wicJPG + wicPNG; // (pseudo-code) how?
finally
wicPNG.Free;
wicJPG.Free;
end;
end;
I know nothing about TWICImage
except that its a TGraphic
descendant.
So you can try something like this:
var
B: TBitmap;
B := TBitmap.Create;
try
B.Assign(wicJPG);
B.Canvas.Draw(0, 0, wicPNG);
Result := TWICImage.Create;
Result.Assign(B);
finally
B.Free;
end;
I can't test it now.
