displaying image

[gilles]

is there some code to display an image ?
i didn't get much result with this :

Code: Select all

local f = AshitaCore:GetFontManager():CreateFontObject( '__addon' );
local prim = f:GetBackground();
prim:SetPositionX( 0 );
prim:SetPositionY( 0 );
prim:SetWidth( 5 );
prim:SetHeight( 5 );
prim:SetColor( 0xFF080808 );
prim:SetTextureFromFile('d:\\haste.png');
prim:SetVisibility( true );

f:SetPosition( 50, 50 );
f:SetText( '         ' );
f:SetVisibility( true );

also, what are image format supported ? bmp, jpg... ?

Your code is fine, just keep in mind the color is handled as a mask. So if you want the image to render the way it is on disk, just use the color 0xFFFFFFFF. Then you can adjust it as desired to mask it how you want.

In terms of bare-minimum, this is all you need to just display an image at the given location:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse]

1. local f = AshitaCore:GetFontManager():CreateFontObject('testObject');
2. f:SetVisibility(true);
3. f:SetPosition( 50, 50 );
4.  
5. local p = f:GetBackground();
6. p:SetTextureFromFile('C:\\derp.png');
7. p:SetColor(0xFFFFFFFF);
8. p:SetWidth(100);
9. p:SetHeight(95);
10. p:SetVisibility(true);

I also recommend that you make use of the 'SetLockPosition' function on the font objects if you plan to do this to prevent people from moving them with their mouse by accident.

Code: Select all

f:SetLockPosition(true);
