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

Fri Apr 14 15:41:06 CEST 2023

I'm running a bunch of external libraries.
Pd-L2Ork has many libraries included but I would have to go through all 
objects on different (Linux) hardware - like Intel, AMD and ARM.

I'll check it out once I have some spare time . . .

No worries, Ingo. If you do have a moment, I am curious to learn what may 
require adapting when switching since all the vanilla objects are supported, 
save for those that were recently introduced and which will be ported soon. 
So, the older patches should run out-of-box.

Best,

Ico

That's too bad . . .
It looks great but it would take me a year to switch my patch (that I wrote
for 15 years now) to Pd-L2Ork.

vanilla, though.
Too much risk of wasting a lot of time.

Pd-L2Ork only due to different front-end and changes to the core.

This sounds great!

But is it going to work on a regular vanilla install (Pd 0.49 / Debian 9.5) ?
Or does it need Pd-L2Ork installed?

You could also explore Pd-L2Ork's reimplementation of ggee/image that includes
all of the things you mentioned, provides all-in-one functionality from all of
the existing/legacy vanilla image objects, can easily rescale, supports
transparency and any Web-compatible image format, as well as offers an ability
to track clicks, including their location.

Best,

Ico

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.
