How to Convert Bitmap Images into WPF XAML files

I am tasked with converting about twenty bitmap images into a workable XAML file complete with all of the path statements, line segments, arc segments, etc. Is there a tool out there that take the bitmap image and create an entirely new XAML file?
Thanks,
Barton

this is not a trivial task [and maybe beyond the scope of this forum]. If you had some vector image like svg images there might be a control out to use, but with raster images, I dont know of any control or code to use; I *think*, you will have to vectorize
the image content yourself, which isn't that easy...
So, is Background and Foreground easily distinguishable? Do shapes overlap? ...
If there are only some shapes in the image and BG and FG can be separated easily then you could "scan" the image by some chaincode like operation to get the contours/contour vectors and then decide what to do. If there are patterns in BG or FG
things will become more difficult, you then will have to perform more math-to-image operations and a vector-representation while reading/scanning the image might not be enough (keywords are computer vision, pattern recognition [with multi-linear-forms] etc).
Maybe an existing computer vision [-able] component loke opencv can help a lot...
Edit: I just did a google lookup and found eg this:

I havent read it so far, so I cannot say, if its what you need, but title and a quick view into looks promising/interesting.

  • How to convert jpeg images into video file of any ext using JMF

    I want to convert the Jpeg files into video clip with the help of JMF
    any one can help me?
    Plz reply me at [email protected]
    or [email protected]

    I'm not sure of his/her reasoning behind this, but I have yet to find a way to record video with mmapi on j2me. So with that restriction, I can see how one could make it so that it just records a lot of jpegs, and then makes it a movie.
    I would be interested finding a workaround for this too. Either if someone would explain how to record video with mmapi or how to make recorded images into a video. Thanks!

  • How to convert existing image into gradient?

    First of all, bear in mind I'm using Photoshop 7.... I have a picture of a truck parked on flat dirt with a sky behind that goes from pale blue near the horizon to black at the very top. I want the right-most side of theoverall image to keep it's vertical pattern (included here) but fade to darkness to the right. I've created plain gradients from scratch but never gradient-ized an existing photo. Surfed the Web but couldn't find the answer. If this has been answered elsewhere and I didn't find it, just point me in that direction. Thank you!

    I'm trying to envision what result you are trying to get.  Is it something like this?  If so, you can add an adjustment layer to your photo to darken the photo to the extent you want the right side to have, add a layer mask and make a black to white gradient on the layer mask.

  • How to convert a jsp into a pdf file

    Hi,
    I am working on a struts based project . In this project i have a jsp which displays table in a nested format , but i have to provide the user a button say
    "GET PDF" on click of which that entire jsp should get exported as a .pdf file as it is .
    1] I cant use display tag because export functionality is not provided for nested table.
    2] I cant figure out how to put an entire jsp as an input stream if i was to use itext (that is if its possible ).
    What are my other options ? Bottom line, what i need is to "make a .pdf file of a .jsp displayed, on a click of a button ".
    Thanks in advance,
    Anjali.

    To start with it isn't the jsp but rather the output of the JSP that you want in a pdf. The solution to that is that you must provide a method that puts the output into a pdf. Normal solutions for that first start by finding an appropriate pdf library of which there are more than one.
    What are my other options ? Bottom line, what i need is to "make a .pdf file of a .jsp displayed, on a click of a button ". Besides finding an existing library you could write your own.

  • How do you include images into the swf file?

    I have an application that dynamically loads images from a folder to display in the application. Images display fine in the app through the IDE. Since these are not embeded images, compiling the swf leaves them out. How do I get them in? Specifically, how do I do this through the mxmlc ANT task?
    This is what I am doing in the code:
    new BitmapFileMaterial("components/test/images/testimage.png")
    So basically the image needs to be in this location within the created swf file.
    Thanks for any help.

    You have to use the metadata in your source code.  You can't alter where the Image will find the data at compile time.  It is better to not embed images in most cases, especially if they are big.
    If you're asking how to get ANT to copy your image files somewhere, see the ANT doc.  I'm pretty sure there's a tag

  • Converting an Image into a Button

    Hello all,
    I'm a very new user to Adobe Flash, and am trying to figure out some of the small things. I was wondering if anyone could help me out with how to convert an image into a button (with a URL).
    Thank you!
    Dave

    Let's say you created a button symbol. The first thing you need to do to make it useful code-wise is to assign it a unique instance name.  So you drag a copy of it out to the stage from the library, and while it's still selected, you enter that unique instance name for it in the Properties panel... let's say you name it "btn1"
    In AS3, to make a button work with code, you need to add an event listener and event hamdler function for it.  You might need to add a few (for different events, like rollover, rollout, clicking it, but for now we'll just say you want to be able to click it to get a web page to open.  In the timeline that holds that button, in a separate actions layer that you create, in a frame numbered the same as where that button exists, you would add the event listener:
    btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn1Click);
    The name of the unique function for processing the clicking of that button is specified at the end of the event listener assignment, so now you just have to write that function out:
    function btn1Click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
       var url:String = "http://www.awebsite.com/awebpage.html";
       var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
       navigateToURL(req);

    How to convert a image layer to a text layer any idea? a image looks like a text in layers box

    You can't convert an image into a text layer.  What you can do is clip an image to a text layer so that just the image layer shows up where there is text.  Create a text layer, then above it put your image layer.  Hold down the alt/opt key and click between the two layers to clip them.

  • __Can I merge one large Bitmap image into another?

    __Can I merge one large Bitmap image into another?
    I have 2 very large hi-res Bitmaps that I want to merge together into 1 file without converting to grayscale or anything. The problem is the second Bitmap is like a 'patch' and I want to insert it into the other like a puzzle piece, while maintaining corect registration (the bitmaps combine to a 4 colour seperation).
    Thanks in advance!

    1bit Bitmap offers no layer capabilities so going through grayscale seems advisable. (Edit: Naturally one should at the end of the combination process convert to bitmap again.)
    Other than that you could after pasting remove parts of the pasted content with the selection tools (setting them to subtract with alt).

  • Converting tiff images into jpeg

    I would like to convert tiff images into jpegs with iphoto. I dont want to duplicate all my photos and then have to delete one by one!
    How do I do this?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The short answer is that you cannot. You will have to export the files via the File->Export->File Export menu option, selecting jpeg as the format and checking the box to include the keywords and comments, and maximum size. Then import the jpgs and delete the tiffs.
    You can get all of the tiff files together by doing a search for .tif. Then do a Select All (Command-A) and go to the export menu. Export all to a folder on the desktop. Import the new jpgs into iPhoto.
    To get rid of the tiffs once the jpgs are imported do another search for the tifs and select all again. Then type Command+Delete. That moves the tiff photos to iPhoto's Trash bin. Then empty the bin.
    If you have multiple files with the same file name you'll have to do some renaming before the export. You can batch rename them using the option Title to Date/Time or just date alone. I use the date taken as the file name as that gives me excellent chronological sorting and searching by filename for dates.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • How to convert a Image to an image file...

    Hi,
    I load an image file in my application and I am trying to run it through a filter and save it without modification.
    So this leaves me with an Image object, which I would generally assume is easy to convert to a saved image file... But its not. It seems I need a RenderedImage to do this so I created this function
    public static RenderedImage convertToRenderedImage(Image img,
                  int wid, int ht, int type){
    BufferedImage bi = new BufferedImage(wid, ht, type);
    Graphics2D g2d = bi.createGraphics();
    g2d.drawImage(img, 0,0,wid, ht, null);
    return bi;
    }which actually leaves me with an image without content... it appears to be all background color, and no foreground text.
    any ideas on how to make an Image into a saved Image file?
