ImageGadget dimensions

[BarryG]

I've always found it weird that ImageGadgets resize themselves to the image dimensions that they hold. How about an optional flag for them to stay what the specified gadget width/height actually is (and put the image in the center of it), instead of resizing to what the image width/height is? Like this:

Code: Select all

LoadImage(0,#PB_Compiler_Home+"Examples\Sources\Data\Geebee2.bmp") ; 128 x 128 pixels.
OpenWindow(0,0,0,640,320,"Image Scale",#PB_Window_SystemMenu)
ImageGadget(1,10,10,0,0,ImageID(0)) ; Shown at 128 x 128 (the actual image size, hence why W/H are both set to 0).
ImageGadget(2,200,10,256,256,ImageID(0)) ; Want this ImageGadget to be 256 x 256 without resizing or copying the image.
Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent()=#PB_Event_CloseWindow

Currently I have to use my own procedure to do the job, which isn't ideal and involves copying the source images (LOTS of them).

I'd use a CanvasGadget for this:

Code: Select all

LoadImage(0,#PB_Compiler_Home+"Examples\Sources\Data\Geebee2.bmp") ; 128 x 128 pixels.
OpenWindow(0,0,0,780,320,"Image Scale",#PB_Window_SystemMenu)
ImageGadget(1,10,10,0,0,ImageID(0)) ; Shown at 128 x 128 (the actual image size, hence why W/H are both set to 0).
ImageGadget(2,200,10,256,256,ImageID(0)) ; Want this ImageGadget to be 256 x 256 without resizing or copying the image.

CanvasGadget(3,400,10,256,256)
Procedure SetCanvasGadgetImage(Gad,Img)
  StartDrawing(CanvasOutput(Gad))
  Box(0,0,OutputWidth(),OutputHeight(),#White) ; (or could obtain window background colour)
  DrawImage(ImageID(Img),(OutputWidth()/2)-(ImageWidth(Img)/2),(OutputHeight()/2) - (ImageHeight(Img)/2))
  StopDrawing()
EndProcedure

SetCanvasGadgetImage(3,0)

Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent()=#PB_Event_CloseWindow

Yeah, but that's extra gadgets, code, and memory to do it. I'd love something as simple as this:

Code: Select all

ImageGadget(2,200,10,256,256,ImageID(0),#PB_Image_NoResize) ; So a 128x128 image is centered in it.

My app has over 300 individual images as ImageGadgets, so I don't want to also code an extra 300 CanvasGadgets to do the job.

Just saw this new post -> viewtopic.php?t=85655

Which is somewhat related to my request here. Can my request be done, please?
