adding a border to an image is a one line "convert" command, so I
guess
you don't just want a border around images
changing it is a also a one line bash command
Because it should be part of the interface code - the same code that
draws the buttons and scrollbars should be able to _optionally_ draw
a border around images, and what is most important is that this
border is completely variable - that we can change it at any time, to
anything.
It probably wouldn't be terribly different from the code that draws
the edges around our dialog boxes, right now. It would also be,
ideally, able to change with whatever theme/skin was being used.
In an operating system UI toolkit, this would usually get called an
"image well".
The problem with adding the border via CLI, or anything that actually
adds it into the image is that that is destructive editing, which
should be avoided like the plague.
OTOH we have little to no image manipulation code ingame for the
moment...
I'm not quite sure why you want to add that imgame (by oposition to
adding it to all image via CLI) but I probably miss your point
The thing is - it should not manipulate the image itself - that would
invalidate the point of what I'm doing.
It should, instead, place this border above, or below (layerwise) the
image to be drawn.
Quite similar to a matte for a framed photograph.

Richard Kettering a écrit :
Certain of our larger portraits/images have a small, 1px border drawn
around them. This is part of the image file. Examples of where
you can
see this include the portraits for HttT and TROW.
I'd like to have this made programmatic, which shouldn't be terribly
difficult. I'd like to have the code apply a border, hopefully
rather
similar to the existing one, albeit perhaps somewhat brighter, to any
images flagged in the interface to use that. As a first step, we
could
probably have a monochromatic border, and if someone wants to get
fancy,
it shouldn't be hard to cut up images for a patterned one, like
what the
current border technically is.
Why?
• Variable image size - this would get applied around any image of
any size.
• It can be changed globally. Doing this would be a hideous waste of
time, under the current system.
• It will make all images follow the convention - currently, quite a
number of our portraits, such as all of the ones submitted by Jason
Lutes, James Woo and Alex-Jarocha Ernst, do not follow the
convention.
In fact, the ones that do not follow the convention are a significant
majority, and a good part of those that do are my own, or are images
which I have full-size versions of, without the edge.
