Windows 2000 Graphics API Black Book (Paperback, illustrated edition)

Focuses on three vital Windows graphics programming technologies: the Windows Graphics Device Interface (GDI), DirectDraw, and Image Color Management (ICM) 2.0. Contains in-depth coverage of image manipulation, file format management, and ICM technologies. Teaches how to control every aspect of Windows bitmaps, reliably render/capture images to the printer and other devices, and compressing and decompressing images. Demonstrates how to read and write common image file formats, manipulate images in the pixel and frequency domains and cross-dissolve, warp, and morph images.
