Hi,
I have a image of 600x1400 inside a group of 600x600 and I need export the whole 600x1400 as jpg with some images and texts that I put over the original image. I don't used export snapshoot but I see the only export the visible rect.
Any way about how export the whole size? or workaround?
Salut,
Josep M

Hi Josep,
not sure if this directly possible, but this is a nice workaround:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
lock screen
## Save current (visible) rect
put the rect of grp 1 into tRect
## Resize to FULL size
set the rect of grp 1 to the formattedrect of grp 1
## Take snapshot, I only imported it here
import snapshot from rect (the rect of grp 1) of grp 1
## ...) of grp 1 will prevent to also "snapshot" objects that are not part of the group
## but are in layers on top that group! May not apply to your example, but what the egg ;-)
## Resize back
set the rect of grp 1 to tRect
## Noone will tell the difference :-)
unlock screen
end mouseUp
Best

Hi Klaus,
Works perfectly!

Thanks!
The master groups that are cloned are on back so all the cloned object are inside the image group.
Just only a 2 pixels black border around the whole image that I don't know why appear.
To increase the quality of the exported snapshoot?
Salut,
Josep M

Hi Klaus,
I found that if I assign manually the rect of the group I can adjust it and avoid the black border...

Hi Josep,
you can actually set "the jpegquality" (to 1 - 100) in Livecode.
Or better export directly to PNG!

Hi Klaus,
But I read that the jpegquality is on for export not for snapshoots,...
I will try the PNG...
Thanks Klaus,
Josep M

When you "export snapshot..." you can define the format by adding "... as JPEG" or "... as PNG".
When using JPEG the before set jpegqualtity will be used.
