   DirectDraw Mirror Image
  Hi people.  I''m struggling to mirror the image on a DirectDraw surface.  I have successfully blitted a bitmap on the screen, but cannot achieve a mirror if the source and destination surfaces are the same size.Can someone point me to an example/tutorial that uses DirectDraw 7 or Win32 GDI?  Thanks in advance.  
  Have you tried blitting from a source RECT that has opposite coords?I.e. instead of:srcRect.left = 0; srcRect.top = 0; srcRect.right = 10; srcRect.bottom = 10;you would have: srcRect.left = 10; srcRect.top = 10; srcRect.right = 0; srcRect.bottom = 0;I think that works.   Dave. ;  Although it does work, I found that it is not widely supported  and has to be emulated on some cards, which obviously reduces the drawing speed dramatically. At the time I was puzzled by the fact that my old FireGL Pro was able to display more sprites than my GF2, which turned out to be due to the mirroring.If you want your game to run smooth on any graphics card, I would advice to just include the mirrored images on your sprite sheets. ;  How about using DirectDraw Blit Effects? DDBLTFX   ddbltfx;// used for ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////memset(&ddbltfx,0,sizeof(ddbltfx)); //clear ddbltfx.dwSize = sizeof(ddbltfx) ;ddbltfx.dwDDFX = DDBLTFX_MIRRORLEFTRIGHT  ; //specify flip effectlpddssurface->Blt(&dest, BmpDDSurface, NULL, (DDBLT_WAIT | DDBLT_DDFX)  , &ddbltfx );;  Thanks for the suggestions, guys.DirectDraw Blit effects was the first thing I tried.  For some reason, the image is not mirrored if the source and destination rectangles are the same size.  I''m considering blitting to a surface of twice the length and width, and then blitting to the back buffer.  It''s improvising, but hopefully it should work without distorting the image.As for inverting the RECT corners, that seems to blit the image off the destination.I''ve spent these two days pulling my hair out for this problem.  For now, I will cut down on mirror-ing in my game.  Where I really must, I''ll try double blitting and loading mirrored bitmaps (as AP suggested).  I appreciate the help nonetheless.
