Hey everyone,

I'm making a kind of paint program. The program reads from a file and draws the dots to the screen. But a whole painting wil keep hours before it's ready painting. Do you get what i mean? is there a trick or do i know what to speed that up?

Thanks for anyone who attemps to help,

The Dream Keeper!

you could create a blank bitmap in a memblock and plot your pixels to that, or use lock pixels to draw to the screen MUCH faster, also, do you realy need to plot each pixel?, why not just save the whole image or convert it to a memblock and save that?, if you said exactly what you are trying to do then maybe we could give you some idea as to what the alternatives are, cheers.

Oh.. well. the program draws the same thing as you. In the same order and color and so on. That's why every pixel has to be saved. And an bitmap is out of the picture. But i have already found the sulotion. But still thanks.
