"A Lotta Noise" by Robert Rayment: (UPDATE2 Cycle speed added) (UPDATE with faster linear Perlin & Marble) This is a demonstration of 32-bit StretchDIBits which can be run as VB code or VB + machine code. Perlin noise (Linear or Cosine-EASE), wood grain and marble surfaces can be designed on a picture box varying from 16x16 to 768x512 pixels. Color weighting, scales, wood and marble types, animated scales and color cyling can be done and the image saved, as a BMP, at any point. The prog can be run with any system color setting. A long integer graphic surface has the advantage in that it can more easily be dealt with using MMX. This demo is just the 'tip of the iceberg' but the method might be useful for designing textures for any application since the machine code is quite general and the bin file can be run locally. Zip file 38 kb.

This is an ActiveX DLL project (object class), which only has 2 method: Register and Unregister as well as a series of events, these events are fired when: a file is deleted, created, renamed or changed in the file system (providing full path and file system item PIDL), when CDs are inserted or removed from CD-ROM drive, when folders are created removed or renamed (providing full path and folder PIDL) and other shell events. Actually, this is System activity logger class.

this code allows an asp programmer to include files from anywhere on the web, not just from other pages within the current domain, using a VB COM component.

In All the other methods I've tried, I run into a barrier(around 170K+) where loading a file suddenly becomes very slow. I've tried many methods found here and in books, and none have proven to work as well as I was looking for. After a long search I ended up spending some off-time figuring a way out myself. This is what I came up with.(speed increases from 20 seconds@170k to .4 seconds@170k)

"Anti-aliasing demo" by Robert Rayment. There are a few anti-aliasing progs on PSC. Mostly they are cleverly convoluted into several subs. I thought I'd stretch out the logic - makes it easier for me to understand and maybe for some of you.
