I can't load a picture

[nipico]

Hello when I start my programm the screen still black and the picture doesn't appear. What's the problem?

code:

height = screen.height()
width= screen.width()
black = color.new(0,0,0)
screen.fillrect(0,0,width,height,black)
screen.update()
image.setresource("Pic.bin")

PlateauAll = image.load("Pic/PlateauAll.png")
PlateauAll:draw(0,0,widht,height)
screen.update()
while 1 do
if control.isButton() == 1 then
PlateauAll:close()
break
end
os.sleep(10)
end

PlateauAll:draw(0,0,widht,height)

spelling error

if that does not help, try not to use .bin extension. name a folder to "pic" instead

sorry but i don't see the spelling error
As regards bin i must say image.setresource("Pic"). Is that it?
thx

im not sure how to successfully use .bin for picture containers.

if u use a folder to store the images, then there is no need to set resources.

height = screen.height()
width= screen.width()
black = color.new(0,0,0)
screen.fillrect(0,0,width,height,black)
screen.update()
--image.setresource("Pic.bin")

PlateauAll = image.load("Pic/PlateauAll.png")
PlateauAll:draw(0,0,width,height)
screen.update()

while 1 do
if control.read()==1 then
if (control.isButton() == 1) then
break
end
else os.sleep(10)
end
end

PlateauAll:close()

i delete the set ressource and then the problem still exist
but i try to modify x,y and it works so i put again x,y for full screen and it works

I don't understand but i used to have a problem
thx

I've got another question.
Sometimes i've got '<eof>' expected near 'end'
What does it mean?
thx

[xConStruct]

The lua interpreter expects the end of the file (eof) where it sees the 'end'.

That means, you've got an additional 'end' which is not necessary and has to be removed.

E.g.:

if something() then
    doSomething()
end
end -- error

It is because it said

PlateauAll:draw(0,0,widht,height)
instead of
PlateauAll:draw(0,0,width,height)

You see the difference in the spelling of "width" ?

I also make that mistake a lot, "phkey" instead of "hpkey" and then I'm wondering why it doesn't work

[nipico]

thank you Brett_val and xConStruct for all
bye

[Brett_val]

Haha I just had it again..

"why does it give me errors..?"
*puts "print()" everywhere*
"why does it print 'nil' everytime...?"

and after close inspection, I typed "lenght" somewhere instead of "length" :P

Hi everyone !
I start to create a "software", but I have a problem ( an important problem ! lol ).
I don' t know how to show a picture on the screen T.T
One day I tried in a game for PSP, but I don' t know, I can' t do that on ZEN -_-" ...

So if someone could tell me the code to show a picture on ZEN, tell me please .
I think it' s not important, but the picture I want to show is the background of the application.

I just started like that :

-- Images

image_bg = image.load:("images/background.png");

After it doesn' t work ...

Please help me ^^
If a topic already exist about that I' m sorry but I didn' t find it :/

Thank you for all,
Bye .

There have been other people asking about this, I'll merge this into a thread I remember about this. There's only two pages of threads so far, it shouldn't take long to go through both to see if there is a similar topic (I just did).

Also the answer is that you first load your picture as you did (without the : ), then you have to draw it to the screen. But to see the image you have to catch it in a loop also, otherwise it'll exit the program instantly:

image_bg = image.load("images/background.png")

width = screen.width() --Saves screen width
height = screen.height() --Saves screen height

image_bg:draw(0,0,width,height)
screen.update()

while(true) do --eternal loop
    if(control.read() == 1 and control.isTouch() == 1) then --if the screen is touched
          break --break the loop
     end
end

image_bg:close()

that code draws an image and exit when you press the screen (Unless I typoed something :P)
