Re: Inserting a photo into a polygon?

2010-03-16 Thread Alejandro Tejada
Hi,

When i need to show an image within a polygon,
i use the palette Mask Bitmap 02:

http://andregarzia.on-rev.com/alejandro/stacks/mask_bitmap02.zip
http://capellan2000.000space.com/mask_bitmap02.zip

This palette creates a mask for bitmaps using vector
graphics as templates. This script uses a screenshot to
create the bitmap mask, but more experienced users,
(like Wilhem Sanke) could create this mask using
scripts only. ;-)

Many thanks to Andre and Sean for providing
space in their servers for this webpage. :-D

Alejandro

Late to the party, sorry. :-) 

If you design your stackcleverly, you can play with blending and to some sort 
fake it.

on a stack with a white background

create a graphic
set opaque to true
set the backcolor to black
import image
group graphic and image
move image on top of graphic
set the ink of image to srcOr

make sure other controls layer on top of the group, otherwise they will bleed 
through.

Obviously this will not work if the card background is colored or if there are 
other controls layered underneath that group, 
so this is either just an unpractical experiment or a design challenge. :-) Not 
very usable, but at least the image can be shifted inside the poly.

Cheers,

Malte___

Not as far as I know. Might be worth another feature request : set the
loc of the backpattern of graphic...

Good point (to all), I had forgotten that, but setting the backPattern is
not the same as arbitrarily masking an image (or any other object) using the
graphic -- thus the feature request.

BTW, can you arbitrarily position the backpattern of a graphic?  I've never
found a way to do this.

If you import the photo or image you can set the backpattern of the
polygon graphic to its id.

Hi Randall,

The only way I know of is to import an image into the stack, hide it,  
then set the backgroundPattern of the graphic object to the id of the  
image. (Make sure the graphic's opaque property is true). Small images  
are tiled, but a larger image will fill up the entire interior space  
of the graphic as long as the graphic is smaller than the image.

I've been doing it by setting the backgroundPattern of the polygon to 
the ID of an imge.
