How to access TBitmap pixels directly in FMX2 (TBitmap.ScanLine replacement)?

Question

The FMX.Types.TBitmap class has the ScanLine property in FMX (FireMonkey), but it seems this property was removed, and is missing in FMX2 (FireMonkey FM2).

Is there any workaround ? How do we supposed to access TBitmap content directly in FMX2 ?

Answer 1

For direct access you are expect to use the Map method. The documentation includes a number of examples, such as FMX.AlphaColorToScanline:

function TForm1.TestAlphaColorToScanline(ABitmap: TBitmap;
  start, count: integer): TBitmap;
var
  bitdata1, bitdata2: TBitmapData;
begin
  Result := TBitmap.Create(Round(ABitmap.Width), Round(count));
  if (ABitmap.Map(TMapAccess.maRead, bitdata1) and
    Result.Map(TMapAccess.maWrite, bitdata2)) then
  begin
    try
      AlphaColorToScanline(@PAlphaColorArray(bitdata1.Data)
        [start * (bitdata1.Pitch div GetPixelFormatBytes(ABitmap.PixelFormat))],
        bitdata2.Data, Round(Result.Height * Result.Width),
        ABitmap.PixelFormat);
    finally
      ABitmap.Unmap(bitdata1);
      Result.Unmap(bitdata2);
    end;
  end;
end;

Here is an example for C++Builder (the current docs are completely missing such):

int X, Y;
TBitmapData bm;

// get bitmap data access !
if ( Image1->Bitmap->Map(TMapAccess::maReadWrite, bm) )
{
    unsigned int* data = (unsigned int*)bm.Data;

    // i.e. clear data with alpha color
    memset(data, 0,
    Image1->Width * Image1->Height * sizeof(unsigned int));

    // test direct pixel access here
    for (X = 20; X <= 200; X++)
    {
        for (Y = 10; Y <= 100; Y++)
        {
            //MyBitmap->Pixels[X][Y] = claLime;  // does not work anymore !
            bm.SetPixel(X, Y, claLime);
        }
    }

    // now write back the result !
    Image1->Bitmap->Unmap(bm);
}
else
{
    MessageDlg("Could not map the image data for direct access.",
    TMsgDlgType::mtWarning, TMsgDlgButtons() << TMsgDlgBtn::mbOK, 0);
}
