I didnt know wether this would fit under Game dev or General Programming but it seems to be more programming than game deving.... I'ts for my map editor I'm trying to create a smoothing algorithim... it takes the 8 pixels around the pixel your smoothing and averages them to get the middle of the 3 by 3 matrice's height. question is do I include the middle point's height value in the averaging?


like you have

1|9|1
1|1|1
1|1|1

1+9+1+1+1+1+1+1+1 = 17/9 which is 1.8888888888888888888 etc...

or

1+9+1+1+1+1+1+1 = 16/8 = 2....


so which one's the most efficient smoothing algorithm?

Try a Google search on "convolution linear filtering". There's heaps of resources on this flavour of filtering.

You using Visual C++ 2005 Express? You'll need to download the Platform SDK before you can access those headers.

express no.... I have Microsoft Visual Studio 2003 .NET and they changed <fstream.h> and <iostream.h> to <fstream> and <iostream>, I also had to usenamespace std... and now fstream::get () is giving me -1, but thanks for the help I just gotta tangle with this for a while, things have changed since I last wrote my .raw heightmap loader in MSVS 6.0 ... Good news is thanks to u I got a smoothing function working thx ^.^ File I/O always drove me crazy >.>
