Hi all,
I'm just starting to play around with PDP and I'm having a moment of extreme noobishness.
I'd like to simply open and display an image from a file on disk (png/jpeg/tif whatever). From what I can tell this can be done by using pdp_reg and sending a load_png message along with the path. When I try this, nothing happens (no window is created nor console output). I know that it's finding the file since the console will output and error if I send it a bogus path. It's possible I'm missing a library (I installed libpng3 but no dice) or some supremely obvious step.
The other method that I tried was using the pdp_rawin object and sending it a open message. What's not clear to me is how to set the type message properly (bitmap/rgb/1920x1080 doesn't do much on a jpeg or png) or potentially output the raw image in a pipe.
I'm running pd-extended on Ubuntu Karmic.
Any help is greatly appreciated. -martin
