Images

Small basic has bugs with locally stored images

You need to define the Path and then add the image filename as direct text, but not a variable to make it work

Example of working code :

Path ="D:\image"

image = ImageList.LoadImage(Path + "\imagename.png")

Getting an image from the internet appears to work well using a standard URL

Example of working code :

bigRock = ImageList.LoadImage("http://smallbasic.com/drop/Asteroids_BigRock.png")

In Small Basic, following image file formats are supported.

• • bmp - Microsoft Bitmap (monochrome, 16 color, 256 color, 24bit color)

  • gif - GIF (Graphics Interface Format)

  • ico - Microsoft Icon.

  • jpg - JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)

  • png - Portable Network Graphics.

  • tif - TIFF (Tagged Image File Format)
