imageobject change width and orientation

[jawall]

good morning,

I can sucessfully
1.

set the width of image myImage to myWidth

2.

set the angle of image myImage to myDegrees

But not both at the same time. When I do step 2 the width is (visually) the same as it was in the original, not what I have set it to in step 1 and I cannot find any way to change that.

Do you encounter the same behavior? Do you knw a way to work around?

Thank you
Jürgen

Hi Jürgen,
Yes, I'm seeing the same thing here.
A work around uses the very cool

Code: Select all

set the imagedata of image tImageName to the imagedata of image tImageName

This does it with a clone of an original hidden image (just in case you need to change the size again)

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   clone img 1
   set vis of last img to true
   set the width of last img to 50
   set the imagedata of last img to the imagedata of last img  --NEAT-O!
   set the angle of last img to 90
end mouseUp

Edit: I didn't spend much time trying the figure out better ways. There are probably many of them.

Hey Simon,

thanks for the suggestion.
I tried your work around to no avail (but a crash of livecode). Where exactly would you put it in a handler? Like this?

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   put the formattedheight of image 1 into h
   put the formattedwidth of image 1 into w
   set the height of image 1 to h/2
   set the width of image 1 to w/2
   set the imagedata of image 1 to the imagedata of image 1 -- < here?
   rotate image 1 -90
end mouseUp

Cheers
Jürgen

Hi Jürgen,
That works here.
What is your question?

Hi Jürgen,

did you set the "lockloc" (Lock size and position) of that image to TRUE?
Sound like that is the culprit.

Hi Jurgen,

What are the result of

Code: Select all

 set the height of image 1 to h/2
set the width of image 1 to w/2

Maeby you can try

Code: Select all

 set the height of image 1 to round(h/2)
 set the width of image 1 to round(w/2)

Best regards
