256 shades of grey

Cliff notes:

rspng shadesofgray("shadesofgray.png");
	
int ss=30; //square size
	
shadesofgray.SetSize(ss*16,ss*16);
	
int gs=0;  //gray shade
	
	
	for(int y=0;y<16;y++)
	{
	  for(int x=0;x<16;x++)
	  {
	    shadesofgray.PlotRect((x*ss),(y*ss),(x*ss)+ss,(y*ss)+ss,gs,gs,gs,255);	    
	    
	    gs++;

16 maybe?

Hard to see the other ones, but it's a 16 by 16 matrix.

404 - 256 shades of gray not found

Oh I see them now.

 

[jpiniero]

I can see the shades, it is subtle yeah. I am using an IPS monitor btw (ZR24w)

I'm a programming idiot.

So for what program is that code for?

Looks like C++ almost exactly.

 

[Red Squirrel]

C++. Was testing out a png class I'm working on. I still need to implement text so I did that part in gimp.

Are pure black and pure white really shades of gray?

 

[brainhulk]

That's how the playboy channel used to look

In this thread - people who have shitty monitors complaining they can't see what the rest of us can.

hmmm prove it. Take a pic of your screen so I can see what you see on my shitty screen.

Also fax me some cash.

Doesn't render correctly on my iPhone. Not nearly 256 colors in that gradient.

Does the iphone have a retina display? It's not a good display if it's not called a retina display.

 

[VirtualLarry]

I only count 16 horizontal stripes of different shades of grey. I blame Nvidia.

Well, I think it would be more the fault of how WebKit renders PNG.

 

[Red Squirrel]

It's really hard to see it but it's a matrix. 16x16 squares from 0 to 255.

Though I probably should have just made it a single gradient.

Oh and this probably does not work in IE, I did not even try it in IE, for all I know it's just a gray image. IE sucks at rendering PNGs.

 

[ninaholic37]

I see them. The RGB for each dot goes (0,0,0), (1,1,1), (2,2,2).... (255,255,255). If you can't see them your monitor/OS/browser might be resampling them to 65535 or 2 million shades of gray. D:

itt people are unfamiliar with color/light illusions. Obscure all rows but one and it's really obvious, unless you're viewing ATOT from a shitty Apple product.

I still haven't seen the 256 shade version. Looking at it via remote desktop from Windows 8 Pro (server) to Win7 Pro (client). Either Chrome renders it that way or RDC reduces the color depth...

My RDC client says the connection settings are for 32-bit color. I'm guessing Chrome does this.

 

[Ichinisan]

Copied the URL to the image and viewed in Chrome + IE on a Win7 system. Still only seeing horizontal bands.

Maybe my eyeballs are at fault :hmm:

1) Copy image.
2) Paste image into editor
3) Paste image into a second instance of editor
4) move two images around to compare left end and right end of images
5) Be amazed
6) Come back and insist that there is no difference just to piss people off

I didn't see any differences.
