check out [jmmmp/pix2canvas] if you want to convert an image into
individual canvas "pixels", all pd-native (not advised for big formats)

Is there a way to display an image inside graph-on-parent window? Is there a way to display an arbitrary image of common filetypes (gif,
jpeg, png, tif) on a canvas? I've checked the list archives. I tried [image] but couldn't get it to work.here's my approach at this, a customized knob:

it needs some extrernals, but they are all mentioned in the helpfile
unfortunately it's limited to gifs (a Tcl/Tk restriction, it seems) and
not sizeable ;-(I can't seem to type a Windows-MSDOS style pathname which contains backslashes... I get "Keycode 92 dropped". (How annoying! is there a good reason for this?)
this issue has been raised many times. to be honest i didn't really
understand the reasons either, but i am not a coder and i think we have
to live with it.the good news is: you don't need the backslash inside PD. all read/write messages work with slashes under windows !
(working with batch files called from PD (via motex' [system] external)
is a different beast ...)best
