This utility lets OpenGL applications render directly to a Windows device-independent bitmap (DIB). The output integrates fully with the Windows Graphics Device Interface (GDI) for further manipulation.

  • Pros

    • Renders OpenGL applications directly to a Windows DIB
    • Resulting DIB is fully manipulable by the Windows GDI
    • Includes a sample application demonstrating the technique

  • Cons

    • Functionality limited to a single rendering technique
    • Requires technical knowledge of OpenGL and Windows GDI
    • Platform-specific to Microsoft Windows operating systems

Developer’s Description

By Microsoft
Allow OpenGL applications to run MS Windows device-independent DIB.

The PFD_DRAW_TO_BITMAP pixel format descriptor flag allows OpenGL applications to render on a Microsoft Windows device-independent bitmap (DIB). The resulting DIB can be manipulated to the full extent using the commands in the Windows graphics device interface (GDI). It explains how you can render OpenGL scenes on DIBs with PFD_DRAW_TO_BITMAP. The EasyBit sample application demonstrates the techniques presented in the article. This version is the first release on CNET Download.com.
