Image Issues

[doug-hines]

I am attempting to center a 128x128 .jpg image inside a -wh 200 550 horizontally. There seems to be no align flag for the image command, and for some reason columnLayout is not aligning

CODE
columnLayout -rs 2 -cal "center";

My second related issue to the image command is that it is not outputing the desired .jpg (I get a big grey block of ugliness)

CODE
string $iconsDirectory = internalVar -usd + "Mariontte/icons";
image -w 128 -h 128 -image "$iconsDirectory + \"marionetteIcon.jpg\"" thumbNail;

In theory and through the research I have done, this should work. But in practicality, it fails miserably. I am hoping that if I can fix these two issues, I will be able to finally wrap up the GUI portion of my script

Since you know the size of the window and the size of the image, I would just use a formLayout and position the image manually:

CODE
formLayout myForm;

formLayout -e -af thumbNail left 36 myForm;

You need to put a slash between "icons" and the name of the image. You also need to pass the path to the image as a concatenation of $iconsDirectory and the literal "marionetteIcon.jpg", not as a directive to concatenate the string:

CODE
string $iconsDirectory = internalVar -usd + "Mariontte/icons/";
image -w 128 -h 128 -image ($iconsDirectory + "marionetteIcon.jpg") thumbNail;

Yes, I heard that .xpm was a good format for maya. However, the current way I am doing things is to playblast a single frame. The playblast options and flags do not give a .bmp or .xpm as an available image format

Note: these files will take the place of the current marionetteIcon.jpg image when files are selected from a textScrollList

Hi,
I am almost a green hand on this field and testing about the related image processing program these days. And I want to look for a fine professional 3rd party PDF toolkit whose way of processing is simple and fast to help me with the related work. It will be better if it is totally manual and can be customized by users according to our own favors. Do you have any ideas about it? Or any good suggestion? Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Arron
