#11196: Tiled bitmap drawing --------------------------------+------------------------------ Reporter: pulkomandy | Owner: stippi Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Servers/app_server | Version: R1/Development Keywords: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Has a Patch: 0 Platform: All | --------------------------------+------------------------------ Currently the only way to draw a tiled bitmap is to use SetViewBitmap with the B_BITMAP_TILE option. Some websites (eg http://amigaimpact.org) use 1x2 pixel bitmaps to draw line patterns in most of the webpage. Currently WebKit implements this using a loop calling DrawBitmapAsync(), but this is much slower than it needs to be. We already have a DrawBitmap call taking an "options" parameter. Currently it's only used to set bilinear filtering. We could add support for B_TILED_BITMAP as a new option bit there. WebKit also supports a "phase" (so the top-left of the source rect may not be drawn at the same position as the top-left of the destination rect), and an affine transform of the source before drawing (which needs special care to make the end result easily tileable). These two would probably need an extension of our API. -- Ticket URL: <https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/11196> Haiku <https://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
