Program drops when putting an image in another image
« on: August 05, 2019, 08:16:25 am »
I've been writing an ap to generate star systems to import to my project at:

https://www.qb64.org/forum/index.php?topic=1429.0

It accepts stellar data input, or rolls "dice" to determine it randomly. Then it constructs a system with some number of orbits around however many stars it contains. Then it displays a graphic representation of that system and queries for the presence, number and placement of gas giant planets. TAB or right arrow cycles through the available orbits represented by boxes that are colored according to their orbital zones (inner red, habitable green & outer blue; with grey being otherwise unavailable). ENTER commits a gas giant to the highlighted orbit, at which point a name for the GG is input and the process goes on to the next GG. The previous placement is colored grey and assigned the number of the body inserted.

Sorry for the crpytic user interface, it's a work in progress.

Works well, but I wanted to show the original color of the orbit so the idea was to copy the image and put a smaller version of the previous color in the occupied orbit.

I'm very new at graphics programming, and it's easily possible that I'm missing something essential, but....

The issue is:
When I put an image into another image, the program is dropped completely. No error messages, it just vanishes within about a second or so of displaying the new image. Which it does do briefly. It's in a  do loop, so I thought maybe it's loading up with images, but I've never been able to get _FREEIMAGE to do anything other than throw errors at me, so obviously I have no understanding of how to use that one...perhaps it's just a matter of putting it in the right spot.

The difference between a working program and a dropped one seems to be associated with lines 362 & 364 in SUB GasGiants. I've commented them out so that an initial running of the program works.

Is there a limit to nested _PUTIMAGEs? Am I committing an obvious coding gaff? or is there a bug in the IDE, I'm using 1.3 96937f0

Hi Andy,

Do you really want the image drawn inside the other image or do you want the image drawn on screen placed over and "inside" the box of other image?

Apologies if I am misunderstanding and asking stupid question.

Hi. This problems can do _DISPLAY. If is somewhere in program used, it can be this. I look to it.

So. Is this correct program area?

                        IF orbit(z%, y%).prsnt = 0 OR orbit(z%, y%).pin > 0 THEN '           Check box greyed out or available
                            'chk& = _COPYIMAGE(chkbx&)
                            COLOR , clr&(8): CLS
                            _PUTIMAGE (3, 3)-(20, 20), chk&, chkbx&                                                           Here is none valid image in chk&. chk& is empty variable.
                            IF orbit(z%, y%).pin > 0 THEN
                                _PRINTSTRING (4, 4), _TRIM$(STR$(orbit(z%, y%).pin)), chkbx&
                            END IF
                        END IF

                        SCREEN plcmnt&                                                                                                   Here, if is image inserted, so program wait for nothing and draw this empty screen
                        _DEST plcmnt&                                                                                                   
                        IF orbit(z%, y%).class > 1 THEN
                            _PUTIMAGE (((heavens(y%).rank - 1) * 40) + (56 * z%) + 16, (48 + ((y% - 1) * 80))), chkbx&, plcmnt&   


So your problem is - insert to chk& valid image. As it see, so chkbx& is next image, visible after inserting to plcmnt&.  For better solution this problem insert to program PRINT chk&: SLEEP. Value for valid images must be always < -1.

First you insert Chk& to Chkbx&, if is condition "IF orbit"  valid (try BEEP insert to this condition, to be sure, that this option occur), for me it see as you copy default (current) screen area to new image chkbx& and then after this condition, you insert chkbx& to plcmnt&.

I read your code again. Just ask. You know that you should only call SCREEN if you want to see the screen. To work on the screen, even if it is not visible, just use _DEST for draw the artwork,  _SOURCE to read the colors from this unvisible screen. And when is all done, use SCREEN for view. PUTIMAGE work with it, without SCREEN need.

Yes, I'm trying to get the box to show a grey core while still showing it original color as a border. That way I still have a visual reference for placing additional planets. I thought I could preload the chkbx& image with chk& in the middle and not have to worry about positioning chk& in plcmnt& over the specific chkbx&, since the overall algorithm already does that pretty well. Why it kills the program without any error message and a brief delay is what I find a mystery.

Yes, that's the part that gives me the trouble.
I thought that _COPYIMAGE would make a copy with a valid handle, I think I don't quite understand the dynamics of images yet...

In looking at your response I realized I hadn't set _DEST for chk& and then back to chkbx& before putting the image, even though it did what it was supposed to do briefly. So I made that change thinking it might improve stability.

                        IF orbit(z%, y%).prsnt = 0 OR orbit(z%, y%).pin > 0 THEN '           Check box greyed out or available
                            chk& = _COPYIMAGE(chkbx&)
                            _DEST chk&: COLOR , clr&(8): CLS: _DEST chkbx&
                            _PUTIMAGE (3, 3)-(20, 20), chk&, chkbx&
                            IF orbit(z%, y%).pin > 0 THEN
                                _PRINTSTRING (4, 4), _TRIM$(STR$(orbit(z%, y%).pin)), chkbx&
                            END IF
                        END IF

After doing that the program hung in there a couple seconds or so longer before dropping, but it still dropped. I'm stymied, and considering just going with the number in the box and forgetting the fancy stuff.

It happens immediately after I set a planet in an orbit and the display in question becomes active.

Maybe I should try it on a different machine, but then that makes my laptop somewhat less than useful to me...

where does that happen? I get through all the questions and naming bits. then the program is ended by the 'END' statement


interesting output though.
though with my secondary stars density I think my system is becoming a Black Hole! though with its orbital radius it must be so far away I may not have to worry.

Do it again, but type "Y" for GG present. Then you'll get the screen where you tab through the available orbits. Hit <enter> to choose an orbit for the GG listed at the top (it'll ask for a name), then it should deposit a number in the chosen box and put a grey core in the box, that's when the program drops for me.

That output screen is mostly a debugging leftover, but I was surprised by the density too. I think it's because the mass of a white dwarf is concentrated in such a small volume. It's a much larger star compressed into an Earth sized orb. It's kind of the last whistle stop before a black hole.

still works for me, doesn't always seem to put the correct number of boxes though, seems to place an extra one sometimes, get 5 boxes when I press 4. Both TAB and RIGHT ARROW move the selected box. but can only move right until it cycles back no left movement. but no crashing.

It is going to take some tweaking to get the orbit handler right. In some cases it appears to do it wrong, in others it is doing an orbit restriction for near companion stars that have their own orbiting bodies. I have to chase down all the permutations, if that's even possible. I tried a back arrow routine and it got really squirrely, so I abandoned that for the time being.

I think I'm going to have to do a test bed program to see if I can duplicate the issue, and if it doesn't happen to anyone else, I'll have to take a hard look at my machine.

In essence, this is what I'm attempting to do, without all the other program stuff to wade through.

This worked fine until I put it in the DO...LOOP, at which point it also crashed. So I put a limit on it and watched with Task Manager.

It uses increasing amounts of memory, up to around 50MB and then quits.

Do I need to use _FREEIMAGE? I thought it wouldn't be an issue as I am using the same handle variables each time.

EDIT: YES!! _FREEIMAGE stopped it. I think the mystery is solved, thank you all for your attention. Still learning here...

Code: QB64: [Select]
  1. Main& = _NEWIMAGE(200, 200, 32)
  2. Inner& = _NEWIMAGE(24, 24, 32)
  3. SCREEN Main&
  4. _DEST Main&
  5. COLOR _RGBA32(255, 255, 255, 255), _RGBA32(127, 127, 127, 255)
  8.     PRINT "Let us make a box."
  9.     PRINT "Yes, let us."
  10.     _DEST Inner&
  11.     COLOR , _RGBA32(0, 0, 255, 255)
  12.     CLS
  13.     _DEST Main&
  14.     _PUTIMAGE (100, 100), Inner&, Main&
  15.     temp& = _COPYIMAGE(Inner&)
  16.     _DEST temp&
  17.     COLOR , _RGBA32(255, 0, 0, 255)
  18.     CLS
  19.     _DEST Inner&
  20.     _PUTIMAGE (4, 4)-(19, 19), temp&, Inner&
  21.     _DEST Main&
  22.     _FREEIMAGE (temp&)
  23.     _PUTIMAGE (50, 100), Inner&, Main&
  24.     x = x + 1
  25.     LOCATE 12, 1
  26.     PRINT "Loop: "; x
  27.     _DISPLAY
  28.     'SLEEP
  29.     CLS
  30.     _LIMIT 2000
  33.  
  34.

Here's your issue and solution:

Code: QB64: [Select]
  1. Main& = _NEWIMAGE(200, 200, 32)
  2. Inner& = _NEWIMAGE(24, 24, 32)
  3. SCREEN Main&
  4. _DEST Main&
  5. COLOR _RGBA32(255, 255, 255, 255), _RGBA32(127, 127, 127, 255)
  8.     PRINT "Let us make a box."
  9.     PRINT "Yes, let us."
  10.     _DEST Inner&
  11.     COLOR , _RGBA32(0, 0, 255, 255)
  12.     CLS
  13.     _DEST Main&
  14.     _PUTIMAGE (100, 100), Inner&, Main&
  15.     IF temp& THEN _FREEIMAGE temp& 'If there's already an image called temp&, free it OR....
  16.     temp& = _COPYIMAGE(Inner&) 'Here you're making a copy of an image, so it's a new image in memory.
  17.     '                              If you make a copy on a copy machine, what happens to the paper in your print drawer?
  18.     '                              It eventually runs out and you get an ERROR!
  19.     '                           That's what is going to happen here... You'll keep making copy after copy after copy of the image
  20.     '                              until you use up all of your memory and crash.
  21.     _DEST temp&
  22.     COLOR , _RGBA32(255, 0, 0, 255)
  23.     CLS
  24.     _DEST Inner&
  25.     _PUTIMAGE (4, 4)-(19, 19), temp&, Inner&
  26.     _DEST Main&
  27.     _PUTIMAGE (50, 100), Inner&, Main&
  28.     x = x + 1
  29.     LOCATE 12, 1
  30.     PRINT "Loop: "; x
  31.     _DISPLAY
  32.     'SLEEP
