c++ - Pixels Overlay With transparency -


i have 2 pixels in b8g8r8a8 (32) format. both pixels (top , bottom) has transparency (alpha channel < 255 )

what way (formula) overlay top pixel on bottom 1 ? (without using 3rd parties).

i tried this

struct fcolor { public:     // variables. #if platform_little_endian     #ifdef _msc_ver         // win32 x86         union { struct{ uint8 b,g,r,a; }; uint32 alignmentdummy; };     #else         // linux x86, etc         uint8 b gcc_align(4);         uint8 g,r,a;     #endif #else // platform_little_endian     union { struct{ uint8 a,r,g,b; }; uint32 alignmentdummy; }; #endif //... };  forceinline fcolor alphablendcolors(fcolor pixel1, fcolor pixel2) {     fcolor blendedcolor;     //calculate new alpha:     uint8 newalpha = 0;     newalpha = pixel1.a + pixel2.a * (255 - pixel1.a);      //get fcolor uint32     uint32 colora = pixel1.dwcolor();     uint32 colorb = pixel2.dwcolor();      uint32 rb1 = ((0x100 - newalpha) * (colora & 0xff00ff)) >> 8;     uint32 rb2 = (newalpha * (colorb & 0xff00ff)) >> 8;     uint32 g1 = ((0x100 - newalpha) * (colora & 0x00ff00)) >> 8;     uint32 g2 = (newalpha * (colorb & 0x00ff00)) >> 8;     blendedcolor = fcolor(((rb1 | rb2) & 0xff00ff) + ((g1 | g2) & 0x00ff00));       blendedcolor.a = newalpha;     return blendedcolor; }

but result far not want :-)

i looked alpha blending formulas (i did never understand how calculate new alpha of overlay) -> perhaps going in wrong direction ?

edit:

changing newalpha newalpha = fmath::min(pixel1.a + pixel2.a, 255); gives better result, right calculate ? missing here?

working example based on accepted answer)

   forceinline fcolor alphablendcolors(fcolor bottompixel, fcolor toppixel) {     fcolor blendedcolor;     //calculate new alpha:     float norma1 = 0.003921568627451f * (toppixel.a);     float norma2 = 0.003921568627451f * (bottompixel.a);      uint8 newalpha = (uint8)((norma1 + norma2 * (1.0f - norma1)) * 255.0f);      if (newalpha == 0)     {         return fcolor(0,0,0,0);     }      //going straight alpha formula     float dstcoef = norma2 * (1.0f - norma1);     float multiplier = 255.0f / float(newalpha);      blendedcolor.r = (uint8)((toppixel.r * norma1 + bottompixel.r * dstcoef) * multiplier);     blendedcolor.g = (uint8)((toppixel.g * norma1 + bottompixel.g * dstcoef) * multiplier);     blendedcolor.b = (uint8)((toppixel.b * norma1 + bottompixel.b * dstcoef) * multiplier);      blendedcolor.a = newalpha;      return blendedcolor; }

start assuming there third pixel below happens opaque.

for further notations, assume alpha values in [0,1].

given: 3 pixels first 1 being on top, colors c_1, c_2, c_3, alpha values a_1, a_2, a_3 = 1

then resulting alpha value 1 , color is

(a_1)*c_1 + (1-a_1)(*a_2)*c_2 + (1-a_1)*(1-a_2)*c_3

now, want find values c_k, a_k formula above equates

(a_k)*c_k + (1-a_k)*c_3

we can solve in 2 steps:

(1-a_k) = (1-a_1)*(1-a_2) -> a_k = 1-(1-a_1)*(1-a_2)

and

(a_k)*c_k = (a_1)*c_1 + (1-a_1)(*a_2)*c_2 -> c_k = [(a_1)*c_1 + (1-a_1)(*a_2)*c_2] / a_k

use formulas (with different range alpha values) , desired color.

(don't forget catch a_k = 0)

edit: explanation of third pixel:

when use 2 pixels in way, doing results in being used display something, put on other existing color opaque. example, might background color, color result of applying many more transparent pixels on background color.

what combine 2 colors find color behaves 2 colors. is, putting on top of opaque color should result in same putting original 2 colors on top of it. demand of new color, resulting in formula use.

the formula nothing result of applying 2 colors in succession on third one.

Is there a better way to structure post methods in Class Based Views -

i'm using class based views in django , never specify url in ajax calls , omit action parameter in form because know these requests go through post method of class based view. notice view - profile page make many requests depending on user updating on page - post method become convoluted , if/else mess example: def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs): # handle user changing available date if request.post.get('availabledate') != none: self.updateavailabledate(request) return jsonresponse({'result':'success'}) if request.post.get('newprojectname') != none: creative_user = creativeuserprofile.objects.get(id = request.user.id) project = project.create_project(creative_user, request.post['newprojectname']) project.save() return jsonresponse({'projectid': project.id }) if request.post.get('projectimage') != none , request.files['file']: proj

performance - Why is XCHG reg, reg a 3 micro-op instruction on modern Intel architectures? -

i'm doing micro-optimization on performance critical part of code , came across sequence of instructions (in at&t syntax): add %rax, %rbx mov %rdx, %rax mov %rbx, %rdx i thought had use case xchg allow me shave instruction , write: add %rbx, %rax xchg %rax, %rdx however, dimay found agner fog's instruction tables , xchg 3 micro-op instruction 2 cycle latency on sandy bridge, ivy bridge, broadwell, haswell , skylake. 3 whole micro-ops , 2 cycles of latency! 3 micro-ops throws off 4-1-1-1 cadence , 2 cycle latency makes worse original in best case since last 2 instructions in original might execute in parallel. now... cpu might breaking instruction micro-ops equivalent to: mov %rax, %tmp mov %rdx, %rax mov %tmp, %rdx where tmp anonymous internal register , suppose last 2 micro-ops run in parallel latency 2 cycles. given register renaming occurs on these micro-architectures, though, doesn't make sense me done way. why wouldn't register renamer

jquery - Responsive Navbar with Sub Navbar -

good day, forgive me nav vocabulary not best. if question confusing apologize. i'm working on navigation bar needs centered on page @ 768px , above. items in nav open (or perhaps toggle) subnav lives directly below. these nav should appear centered on page. i have been able work through responsive portion of nav bar, having main items align vertically , sub nav menu of each item roll out below, , gave them indent separation. working well. however, issue not responsive side, behavior @ width greater 768px. happens toggling menu's sub navigation pushes other main items down page below sub nav. here's code: $(document).ready(function () { //stick in fixed 100% height behind navbar don't wrap $('#slide-nav.navbar-inverse').after($('<div class="inverse" id="navbar-height-col"></div>')); $('#slide-nav.navbar-default').after($('<div id="navbar-height-col"></d
