Bilinear Filtering - Sample Code

Sample Code

This code assumes that the texture is square (an extremely common occurrence), that no mipmapping comes into play, and that there is only one channel of data (not so common. Nearly all textures are in color so they have red, green, and blue channels, and many have an alpha transparency channel, so we must make three or four calculations of y, one for each channel). The location of UV-coordinates is at center of texel. For example, {(0.25,0.25), (0.75,0.25), (0.25,0.75), (0.75,0.75)} are values for 2x2 texture.

double getBilinearFilteredPixelColor(Texture tex, double u, double v) { u = u * tex.size - 0.5; v = v * tex.size - 0.5; int x = floor(u); int y = floor(v); double u_ratio = u - x; double v_ratio = v - y; double u_opposite = 1 - u_ratio; double v_opposite = 1 - v_ratio; double result = (tex * u_opposite + tex * u_ratio) * v_opposite + (tex * u_opposite + tex * u_ratio) * v_ratio; return result; }

Famous quotes containing the words sample and/or code:

    “The present war having so long cut off all communication with Great-Britain, we are not able to make a fair estimate of the state of science in that country. The spirit in which she wages war is the only sample before our eyes, and that does not seem the legitimate offspring either of science or of civilization.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    “...I had grown up in a world that was dominated by immature age. Not by vigorous immaturity, but by immaturity that was old and tired and prudent, that loved ritual and rubric, and was utterly wanting in curiosity about the new and the strange. Its era has passed away, and the world it made has crumbled around us. Its finest creation, a code of manners, has been ridiculed and discarded.”
    —Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)
