Displaying an image in a window

 

bgimg Display an image in a window
<graphic> name of the graphic structure
-img <name> image name in namespace
[-x0 <x-coord>] x-coordinate of a portion
[-y0 <y-coord>] y-coordinate of a portion
[-w <width>] width of a portion
[-h <height>] height of a portion
bgimg <graphic> -rm Remove existing image from a window

This command can be used to add an image to be drawn on the background of a window. Switches -x0, -y0, -w and -h can be used to specify a portion to be used instead of the whole picture.

Example: In this example an image file is loaded and a portion of it is visualized in a window.

...
# Load the image file into namespace
NDA> loadimg map.gif
# Create a graphic structure and assign a 300 by 300 pixel portion
# of the image starting at (100, 100)
NDA> mkgrp win
NDA> bgimp win -img map -x0 100 -y0 100 -w 300 -h 300
NDA> show win
...
# Remove the background image
NDA> bgimg win -rm
NDA> draw /win
