While the Windows GDI provides numerous functions that allow developers to display bitmaps into rectangular areas, it doesn't provide a way to display into areas defined by an arbitrary set of vertices. The sample code in this article demonstrates a simple way to map a bitmap from a rectangular area into an area defined by four vertices. You can use this technique to rotate, invert, stretch, or twist a bitmap.
NOTE: For simplicity, the code is written to use GetPixel() and SetPixel() to retrieve and set pixel values in the referenced display contexts. You can achieve much greater performance by rewriting the code to use DIB sections and directly manipulating the bits of the surface.
#define SHIFTS 15 // Extend ints to limit round-off error.
#define THRESH (1 << SHIFTS) // Threshold for pixel size value.
/* CopySourceToDest()
*
* Re-map a rectangular area into an area defined by four vertices.
*
* This function does all the real re-mapping work by recursively
* dividing both the source and destination areas until the
* area specified by the destination is a single pixel. At this
* point, it copies the pixel from the source to the destination.
*
* By quartering both the source and the destination areas, the
* relationship between the area in the source and the area in the
* destination is preserved.
*
* NOTES:
* This function would be much faster if it were implemented to
* directly manipulate the surface bits of a DIB section rather than
* using GetPixel() / SetPixel().
