Take for example [command] resizeToWidth tImage, 400
on resizeToWidth pImage,pSize local tOrigImgWidth, tOrigImgHeight, tRatio, tNewWidth, tNewHeight set the itemdel to "x" put item 1 of sCurrentGraphicRect into tOrigImgWidth put item 2 of sCurrentGraphicRect into tOrigImgHeight if tOrigImgWidth is 0 then exit resizeToWidth put pSize/tOrigImgWidth into tRatio put (tOrigImgHeight * tRatio) into tNewHeight put (tOrigImgWidth * tRatio) into tNewWidth set the rect of pImage to 0,0,tNewWidth,tNewHeight end resizeToWidth How do I get a copy, with the image scaled down, which is visible on screen? [coded] if (the width of tImage > the heigth of tImage ) then # portrait resizeToWidth tImage, 400 else # landscape resizeToHeigth tImage, 400 end if # now we set the img to the img "currentpuzzle" set the name of the last image to "currentpuzzle" # and copy the data, at 400px wide put the rect of the last image into tImageData["rect"] put the imageData of the last image into tImageData["image"] put tImageData["image"] into image "currentpuzzle" BUT the full scaled copy of the image "currentpuzzle" comes into view. I wanted to get a scaled down version? How do we implement this, from the dictionary The imageData, unlike the contents of the image<lcs,image,> container<lcs,container,>, is based on the picture as it's presented on the screen, not stored in the image<lcs,image,> object<lcs,object,glossary>. This means that if you resize an image<lcs,image,>, the content of the image<lcs,image,> does not change, but its imageData does. If you create an image<lcs,image,> and then reduce its size, its imageData reflects the scaled-down, displayed image<lcs,image,>, not the original full-scale image<lcs,image,>. If you create a second image<lcs,image,> and set its imageData property<lcs,property,> to the imageData of the original image<lcs,image,>, resizing the first image<lcs,image,> back to the original dimensions displays the original image<lcs,image,> at full resolution, but resizing the second image<lcs,image,> does not, because setting its imageData transferred only the scaled-down version of the original.
