Well after all these years, I want to know the original width and height of reference image by it "content" and not as it "image data" which will change if the image was resize. So let say it reference brand new image
answer file "Select the image you wish to view:" with type "JPEG Images|jpg|JPEG" # the filename of an image to that. Let say its 250 X 150 pixels # resize this image to something "stupid" like 100 x100 How does one query, at time point, the original height and width? I looked through to dictionary, and don't see a way. I course of the mini-study I found "prepare" on mouseup answer file "Select the image you wish to view:" with type "JPEG Images|jpg|JPEG" if it is "Cancel" then exit to top else put it into tFileName end if prepare image file tFileName put the width of image file tFilename # error here end mouseup This entry seems a little lean.... prepare "...Then access the image and display it as needed on your stack. Since the image is already cached into memory, it displays instantly." One would think that since it is cached, you can get its rect? What am missing? Do have to create a new image to get it original size? =========== The location and name of the image file you want to load and decompress into the image data cache. Since the image data cache is keyed on the absolute filename, any images which reference that file are able to use the data from the cache. This assumes that the cache has not been flushed. Description Use the prepare image command to speed up execution when showing image data. Use the prepare image command to preload an image at some time before it is needed. Then access the image and display it as needed on your stack. Since the image is already cached into memory, it displays instantly. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
