[PD] object for showing images with a better quality than gif (like ggee/image) ?

[Ingo]

Buttons or knobs with JPGs (or other picture formats) would be a great 
addition for making a good looking user interface.
When making a button it would be great to have the option for adding an 
alternative picture directly for on/off instead of writing complicated code in 
Pd.

One thing that Pd is really bad with is putting things in the background (for 
background pictures) or in the foreground for e.g. a button on top.
Also placing the picture from the top left corner (normal for canvas) makes 
more sense than from the center (as it is the case with [ggee/image]) to me.

Changing the size of the image would be awsome!
It's very timeconsuming going back into the graphics editor to change the 
picture to fit the exact size each time you change your mind about the 
placement and size.

I also have else/pic which is based on these older ones. I also allow it to 
work as a button and have new features like a 'latch mode'.

Let me know if I can improve the object to include more modern options for 
higher quality files. I see that back when these other objects were made 
tcl/tk was pretty limited. Not sure if this has changed and if it can handle 
jpg and other formats nowadays. I'd appreciate if someone could enlighten me

cheers

Thanks Peter!

The moonlib/image is pretty much the same as ggee/image.

I have found out,though that it takes ppm files which are uncompressed and
look much better.
Whith this data format I actually get the quality that I need.

I'll also take a look at iemgui's iem_image.

http://deken.puredata.info/search.html?libraries=&objects=image&descriptions

returns a result for moonlib. And then there is iemgui's iem_image object
https://git.iem.at/pd/iemgui/-/blob/master/iem_image-help.pd

Did not test any of those, but thought you might want to know about the
deken search engine.
