BMP -> JPEG (delphi 3)

Hello !

        I would like to convert a BMP image to a JPEG image with DELPHI
3.
        How to use TJPEGImage ?

        Thanks...

Create a TJPEGImage, a TBitmap, load the bitmap, then Assign it to the
JPEG. I think that's what you need to do.

        Well, I'm certain the NView thing is just great. But what's
your complaint with TJPEGimage, exactly?

  What makes you say that? I've used the TJPEG component with little
difficulty and it's been very useful to me. Why should I use NViewLib
and add 259KB to my installation package, when I can easily use the jpeg
component, adding only a little bit more to my EXE's size?

  Of course, the real reason you use NViewLib is because it can handle a
decent number of image formats, including gif, bmp, pcx, tga, dib, rle.
But if I want jpeg only, I use the jpeg component. My $0.02.

I found an interesting problem that isn't specifically noted on the Delphi
reference. Not really a bug, more of an annoyance. When you use
TBitMap.Create to create your internal bitmap your *must* specify the pixel
format otherwise you end up with a corrupt bitmap that NView won't touch.

So, hopefully adding  TBitMap.PixelFormat:=pf24bit  will sort out the
problem. It took me about a week to track this one down.

        The point is that suddenly a TBitmap can be either a DDB or a
DIB. Setting the value of PixelFormat changes it from a DDB to a DIB -
presumably this NView thing is expecting a DIB:

var b: TBitmap;
begin
 b:= TBitmap.Create;
 if b.HandleType = bmDIB then
    showmessage('DIB')
   else
    showmessage('DDB');

 b.PixelFormat:= pf24Bit;

 if b.HandleType = bmDIB then
    showmessage('DIB')
   else
    showmessage('DDB');

 b.Free;
end;
