Final Entry

This being my first computer science class I am very pleased with what I have accomplished. Being able to write some filters was as exciting as playing with pictures was. I am very pleased with my final centerpiece. It is almost exactly what I was going for. It ended up having fairies instead of animals but I have totally stepped into the wonderful world of Disney. I had a couple of missteps with placing a foreground, mostly because I thought of it as swapping a background. It was also time consuming to place each individual fairy and to make sure they had good sizing. Writing down coordinates was very helpful. I ended up making another piece that could have been a centerpiece too. It has the northern lights and a silhouette of an ice-skater. There isn't a lot of deep meaning in my centerpiece but it is absolutely fun to look at. I have made it my profile picture on facebook. I have had a lot of fun in this class and look forward to taking more computer science in the future.

There is something satisfying about seeing a project come together. after sitting at a computer for several hours at a time I am finally satisfied with my centerpiece. Placing 15 images into one big one is time consuming...  I'm now looking at doing some more little pieces for the portfolio. Color is still fun to play with :)

YAY!

filter to place a foreground into a background...its made for a gray screen rather than a green screen.

def placeFore( big, lil, x, y  ):
  cWid = getWidth( big )
  xLim = x +  getWidth(lil)
  if xLim > cWid:
    xLim = cWid
  cHt = getHeight( big )
  yLim = y + getHeight( lil )
  if yLim > cHt:
    yLim = cHt
  xlil = 0
  for j in range( x,xLim ):
    ylil = 0
    for k in range( y, yLim ):
      p = getPixel(lil, xlil, ylil )
      if getRed(p)== getBlue(p)== getGreen(p) and 100<getRed(p)<255:
        pass
      else:
        newColor = getColor(p)
        setColor( getPixel( big, j,k), newColor )
      ylil = ylil + 1
    xlil = xlil + 1

fixed...and otherwise

HE HAS RIPPLES!!!

I am annoyed at the birds... they are not cooperating.  I am trying to modify swapbg so that it will detect gray instead of green and it will place a smaller picture in a larger picture like placeInCanvas does.  I have gotten it to change the gray background but the small picture stays small and the coloring in the background is too dark.  grrrrrrr.

what colour are your bits?

The person who wrote this is very long winded.  I think that I understand what they are trying to get at but parts of the post seem contradictory.  How is it that there is no colour but viruses are detected by their colour?  Perhaps I was misunderstanding what they meant by colour not existing. I don't know that colour is as important as content but I can see that it could be important with some writing and phraseology.

an Attempt at putting ripples at his feet...

I  was so close to having ripples...I put the president in two different places. :o This picture uses a lot of greenscreening and then blendIn at the end .  If he had been in the same spot in both pictures It would have worked a little better.

on another note I got her eyes to turn purple!!!!

My first Photomosaic...It looks pretty good I think that the real picture is too detailed to make an excellent photomosaic but it is recognisable. the moon is pretty much lost though in making the larger picture come out well.
