Post subject:  How do I import a picture into my program
I am taking computer engineering at school and am wondering how do I import a picture into a program so it acts as a background for the program?

Thank you

Start by making the variable for the picture:
code:
var backgroundPic : int


Then make it equal to the directory of your picture. eg:
code:
backgroundPic := Pic.FileNew("C:/Documents and Settings/"+Sys.getUserName+"/My Documents/My Pictures/background.bmp")


Now to draw it, put it inside your main loop before you draw anything alse and do:
code:
Pic.Draw(backgroundPic,x,y,picCopy)

X and Y are also usually 0 when making a background picture, and you can also use
code:
picMerge
in place of
code:
picCopy
if you wish to blend it in with stuff beneath it, which doesn't really matter if that's your background image.

you can also put the picture in the same folder as the turing program that will be ussing it. if you do this then you simply need to put

code:
backgroundPic := Pic.FileNew ("backgroundPic.bmp")
Pic.Draw (backgroundPic,0,0,picCopy)

With the above poster's code this can be reduced further to:
code:
var backgroundPic := Pic.FileNew ("backgroundPic.bmp")

Turing will figure out the data type for you (as long as it is predefined).
