bonjour alex,

very quick answer, you might want to try a combination of

• pix_alpha and of course pix_image to display blended images. you will

then create an abstraction that holds all what you need for one image (with 'receive' objects as arguments).

• dyn~ for creation of a variable number of pictures in your patchwork.
• pyext for the creation and configuration (position, size, etc.) of

each piece (via ._send method) - here you will have to go for something completely different but it's easy.

if you are interested by this combination of objects, i could send you some patchs i have bee using.

i noticed some difficulties to display some types of images (heavy images or images with low or high w/h ratio), moreover i had some pbs with their "initialization" (images are not drawn completely at first) - desactivating/reactivating the gem window solved this pb.

a last point, if you want to make animations of still images, you should defintely turn to pix_multiimage.

greetings, vincent

Hi !

I am looking for a way to combine many jpeg images with Gem in an interesting way. Anyone has some experience to share ? I have several files which I know their sizes, and I would like to change their size, tranparency, to add pix_* effects, gradient map (not much posible though), etc. on them. I might have 10 images at a time. I guess I should use 10 rectangle on which I pix_texture my pix_image, right ? Any hint on blending such pix_images ?

thanks !
