    Directx 9 2D

    I'm trying to draw some 2D images in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 c++ using DirectX. So far I'm doing ok, but I cant quite make the pixels on the images as clear as they are in the actual image files. I would like them to be the same pixel per pixel.


    I've been trying 2 different methods, one using the 3D environment and using a setup to look at the image as if it was on a 2D screen.

    And another where I just use absolute screen positioning.

    Both methods blur the images a little.

    Here is a picture showing what I get. I want it to look like the bottom line.

    Here is the code I'm using

    If you are looking for pixel/texel 1 to 1 ratio you must draw the quad the same exact size as the bitmap being used to texture it and you will need to turn off bi-linear filtering.

    Code:
    pDevice->SetSamplerState(samplerNumber,D3DSAMP_MINFILTER,D3DTEXF_POINT);
    pDevice->SetSamplerState(samplerNumber,D3DSAMP_MAGFILTER,D3DTEXF_POINT);
    pDevice->SetSamplerState(samplerNumber,D3DSAMP_MIPFILTER,D3DTEXF_POINT);

    Bah I figured it out.

    I thought it was something to do with the render or sampler state, but I was wrong. It had nothing to do with directx.

    Both my window and screen were set to a size of 800x600. That sounds right, but... The window has an additional border and a 19 pixel bar at the top which messes up the ratio and everything else.

    Which is why you use the width and height of the backbuffer in the present params instead of the window width and height. They are not the same in windowed mode. For full screen it doesn't matter.

    Keep this in mind b/c if you ever attempt to do 3D picking in the future this little gotcha will mean the difference between it working and it being way off.

    Hi all, I am a new member of forum. Would a newcomer be warmly welcome here? Good day you guys!!!
