image library

[emmefisch]

I have to manipulate images in that way, that the left height and the right height are different - perspective view like a painting on a wall see from side. How can I do this LiveCode? Thanks for any help.

Grüezi Fredi,

sorry, no, image objects are always rectangular in Livecode.
You need to manipulate the image(s) in an image editor and
then import them into LC.

Maybe in one of the future versions of LC...

Hallo Klaus
Thank you for your information. And there is no extern library you know?

[Klaus]

No, sorry, none that I knew of.

Thanks Klaus.

...although you might look at http://livecodeshare.runrev.com (search on "image") to see if any of the user-generated image manipulation stacks suit your needs...

[Klaus]

Unfortunately there is no example stack that shows how to "skew" (is that the correct term?) images on Revonline.

Out of my league when it comes to graphics stuff, but if this is limited to OSX then I think Quartz might have these capabilities built in. Obleo Beck posted a stack utilizing some Quartz features. I just did a search for "Quartz" on revOnline and came up with it. I can't swear that the perspective view is available through Quartz, but given some of the OSX features (Time Machine, etc) I would think there's a good chance.
