Add an image to DCL file.

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I would like to add an image to my DCL UI from Autolisp program. Image is there in my website.

How can I do that? Is that Possible?

And also I need to assign a hyperlink to that image. When I click on that it should direct me to another website address.

Can someone help me?

        (setq w (dimx_tile "help")
              h (dimy_tile "help")
        )
        (start_image "help")
       ???????
        (end_image)

Thanks in advance,

Arun Nath

To add an image to a dialog using the image_tile you first
have to create a slide (.SLD) of the current AutoCAD window.
It's easy to bring the image into the editor however
the trick is to size the window to the image before taking
a slide (capture). The resulting file will require referencing
into your program either thru a support path or "hard-pathed".

I currently do not know of any software that can save an
image in SLD/SLB format or any software that can edit such
file extension names.

See command MSLIDE for further help.

An action_tile "Img01" will take care of the web link.
Make sure to add a key="Img01"; in your DCL file.
First close the dialog, then command BROWSER as commands
cannot be invoked while the dialog is open.

I have not added images to any of my DCL files but looked into
this once upon a time and realized that dependent external
files are not acceptable to my mythology. I have added colored
buttons, but not images or vector development.

I have created a simple exercise to browse to a website by clicking on an image inside the DCL.

Please see the attached file.

Note: All 3 files must be in the same folder or in a folder that is declared in the SFSP.

Hint: Place a blank Drawing1.dwg in this same folder and double-click this file to open.

Hi

It's possible to use images in jpg format.
Go see this topic.

This lisp file will create fancy DCL images from AutoCAD objects but unfortunately not from raster images.

The link you supplied is to a forum I am not a member of.
Therefore I cannot view the material.

If you wish to use a recognized image format, it is my understanding
that it is possible to us a third-party plugin such as OpenDCL or create
a dialog via .NET, etc. Simple DCL will not do.
