Odd issues when compiling on windows

I'm using the MagickWand API in the Imagick -project. The problem is that when I compile Imagick statically against ImageMagick libraries the PNG transparency does not work.

This happens on Windows and with all versions of ImageMagick (including 6.3.6) I have tested and with Q8 and Q16. I'm totally out of ideas why this might happen.

With the static build im able to achieve whole image transparency with adding this method call:

$im->setImageOpacity( 0 );

Without that the image created with newimage and PixelWand transparent is shown black.

I downloaded this compile of the MagickWand PHP extension:

http://www.dirk.sh/dirk/magickwand/

(The static compile).

And tested it with this code:

Code: Select all

<?php

$m = NewMagickWand();
$p = NewPixelWand();

PixelSetColor( $p, "transparent" );

MagickNewImage( $m, 100, 100, $p );

MagickSetImageFormat( $m, "png" );

MagickWriteImage( $m, "trans_magick.png" );
?>
This results also into a black image.

Hi Mikko,
I tried a C version of your code and it produces a transparent PNG.
The problem might be with the viewer you are using. Does it display transparency in a way that
shows up, such as the checkerboard pattern that Paint Shop Pro uses?
Instead of "transparent" try this "rgba(255,0,0,0.0)". If your viewer shows this
as a red square then it's not handling transparency properly.

The viewers I tested are: Windows Image Viewer (the built in one), firefox and Gimp.

I assume something that is initialized with DLLs is not intialized in static compile.

Pete, did you compile your C code with static or dynamic linking?

Re: Odd issues when compiling on windows

It uses 6.3.5 Q8 dynamic linking.

I was only able to get this issue with static linking. If I link dynamically everything works.

Pete,

if you have time some day could you try this issue with static compile?

Mikko,
I'll try to do that on the weekend.
Meanwhile, it has struck me as odd that identify prints different formats for the histogram.
The first was printed as:
40000: (255, 0, 0, 0) #FF0000 red
and the second was:
40000: (65535, 0, 0,65535) #FFFF000000000000 rgba(255,0,0,1)
The first suggests that it is being printed by a Q8 version of IM whereas the second is Q16. Do you have a Q8 version of IM on your system that might be being linked in when doing a static link?

Pete

Pete, you are correct that the first one was with Q8. But Q16 produces similar results:

It is a same set of API calls as in the previous examples.

The imagick code to create this one:

Code: Select all

<?php
$im = new Imagick();

$im->newImage( 100, 100, new ImagickPixel( "transparent" ) );
$im->setImageFormat( "png" );

$id = $im->identifyImage( true );


echo "<pre>";
var_dump( $id['rawOutput'] );
?>
Those calls map directly to the api calls.

Hi Mikko,
Sorry, I forgot all about trying a static compile for you.
It's probably too late to help you now but I just recompiled my test code statically and it produces a transparent image.

el_supremo,

Good to hear! I'll do some tests today!

I still don't get it right.

Here is the Visual Studio project: http://valokuva.org/outside-blog-conten ... agickTest/

Here is the generated image: Image


I don't really see what I am doing wrong here. The image is shown as black in just about any viewer I try.
