Buttons or knobs with JPGs (or other picture formats) would be a great addition for making a good looking user interface. When making a button it would be great to have the option for adding an alternative picture directly for on/off instead of writing complicated code in Pd.
One thing that Pd is really bad with is putting things in the background (for background pictures) or in the foreground for e.g. a button on top. Also placing the picture from the top left corner (normal for canvas) makes more sense than from the center (as it is the case with [ggee/image]) to me.
Changing the size of the image would be awsome! It's very timeconsuming going back into the graphics editor to change the picture to fit the exact size each time you change your mind about the placement and size.

I also have else/pic which is based on these older ones. I also allow it to work as a button and have new features like a 'latch mode'.
Let me know if I can improve the object to include more modern options for higher quality files. I see that back when these other objects were made tcl/tk was pretty limited. Not sure if this has changed and if it can handle jpg and other formats nowadays. I'd appreciate if someone could enlighten me
cheers

The moonlib/image is pretty much the same as ggee/image.
I have found out,though that it takes ppm files which are uncompressed and look much better. Whith this data format I actually get the quality that I need.
I'll also take a look at iemgui's iem_image.

http://deken.puredata.info/search.html?libraries=&objects=image&desc... = returns a result for moonlib. And then there is iemgui's iem_image object https://git.iem.at/pd/iemgui/-/blob/master/iem_image-help.pd
Did not test any of those, but thought you might want to know about the deken search engine.

Hello,
I have been using [ggee/image] for showing simple (medium small) images which is working fine.
But now I need to show a large full HD picture in the full 1920x1080 resolution and [ggee/image] gives me too many pixels.
Can anyone poind me to an external that can display high resolution JPGs?
I had been using [gem] to do this before which is working fine on Intel and ARM machines but for some reason not on AMD.
At least not in my case and the situation that I need it to work in.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks
Ingo
