Having difficulty using image manipulators to scale images.

[Ortintzki]

Hi there,

I'm trying to create a scaled image and display it inside a frame. However, I don't know how to correctly create the image and display it.

I'm using this line to create the scaled image:

Code: Select all

image new_image = im.Scale("new_image", 700, 500)

However, when I try to use it in this code snippet, I get "show is not a keyword argument or valid child for the frame statement."

Code: Select all

screen grid_test():
    
    grid 2 2:
        frame:
            area (10, 10, 700, 500)
            show new_image

And when I try to do it like this, I get "expected a keyword argument, colon, or end of line.

Code: Select all

screen grid_test():
    
    grid 2 2:
        frame:
            area (10, 10, 700, 500)
            
            text "Top-Left" 
            image new_image = im.Scale("new_image", 700, 500)

Does anyone know what's going on and how to fix it?

use

Code: Select all

add new_image

in screens

Thanks for the help. The "add" statement was able to get the image onto the screen. Unfortunately I couldn't figure out how to also use image manipulators with the add statement, but I was able to scale the image with transform statements.

You can list them behind the add command, or add a block underneath (ending the add line with ":")
