Hello!

can PicShow transition effects categorized ?
in respect to CPU time consuming...

I scroll a few text at same time transition pictures. Some effects freezing the scrolling text half second or less...

How can I select effects that less consume CPU resource?
or any settings advise to optimise it ?

Thanks

You have to do it by yourself. You can use an integer set or array for that purpose.

To optimize transitions for your case:
  • Scale images to PicShow's client size
  • Set ExactTiming property to False
  • Set Threaded property to True
  • Set ThreadPriority property to tpLower
  • Do not set Delay property to a value less than 30
Hope that it helps.

Thank you Kambiz.

As picture format, I think bmp is most convenient for your algoritims?

Having 32bit bitmaps reduces the startup delay of transition, but doesn't affect the rest of process.
