William,

I have made such an interface for a customer recently using the [image] object:

Is it what you are looking for?

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:

http://klingt.org/fileservice/downloads/08135152508907130-ol_knob_300418.zip

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

oliver
