For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
How to import GIF file format ?

Posted by jeschoo (jeschoo), 15 August 2004

Can i know how to import a GIF file format image into the canvas? Canu please show me the code...I really dont have any idea...Please help..

Is this what you're looking for? :

Code:
image create photo boox -format GIF -file library.gif
canvas .democan -width 600 -height 400
.democan create image 300 200 -image boox
pack .democan


That code creates an image from a GIF file called library.gif, and a canvas that's 600 pixels wide by 400 pixels tall.  It then centres the gif image on the canvas and packs the canvas.  

If you create an image called library.gif in your current directory and run this code under wish, it should work for you. Tcl and Tk canvases make displaying GIF images quite easy!

(( snipped - long code example ))



I've provided you with an example of importing a GIF file into a canvas.   You'll need to modify my example to make it appropriate for your needs - for example, I'm sure you'll want to change the canvas size, canvas name, image name, etc. It's not really practical for me to tell you where it should go and how it should be modified - I simply don't know, because I don't know your requirments.

Is the code you provided something you wrote?  If so, I'm surely you can work out how to add the extra lines.  If not, then do you have copyright permission to place it here?  If not, could you please do me a big favour and snip it out of your previous post ...

i'm sorry. This is the code that i wrote. It;s ok.anyway thanks for ur help.I really appreciate it.

I hope my example can help you amend you code, then, and wish you all the best with that.  As it's you're code, please do feel free to put back a few lines if you have any further specific questions.

We have to be very careful about copyright of code examples pasted up here, as this is a public forum. Once the moderators see a piece of code which looks like it might be copyright material, they have to ask ... and - sorry - occasionally this does mean that we challenge a piece of code that is validly posted, as it turned out to be in this case.  Sadly, many posters don't think about copyright on code ... they're too busy trying to debug / maintain it. We have to ask sometimes

it's ok..can i ask u some question.If there is an object in the canvas, then the requirement is that the objects cannot go out of the canvas area. What code should be writen so that the object wont go out of the area.

Posted by admin (Graham Ellis), 15 August 2004
Let's see ...

by default, the image (object) is placed by coding in the centre point, but you can go for any corner of the middle of any side by specifing extra options.

If the canvas is x1 pixels wide and y1 pixels tall, and the image is x2 pixels wide and y2 pixels tall, then you need to keep

a) The x position of the image between x2 / 2 and x1 - x2 / 2
and
b) The y position of the image between y2 / 2 and y1 - y2 / 2

if you want to use the default (centred) placement and not have any part of the image go outside the canvas (N.B.  You may need the odd +1 or -1 here if you're concerned to be accurate to the pixel, and in this case watch for rounding if the image is an odd number of pixels wide / tall)

Your dragging back my old computer graphic days here
