How the heck...?

-----------------------------------

Hey guys I have absolutely no idea how to turn an image into my background on turing.


I used the coding below and still got no result. It epically failed.

var pic : int
pic := Pic.FileNew ("put image name here")
Pic.Draw (pic, 0, 0, picCopy)

Can someone please give me clear instructions on how to make it work. Examples would be nice. I fail at turing :(

okay well. all you need is to first declare a picture so you do this :
 
var picture : int :=Pic.FileNew ("PictureName")


Then you need to put the picture in action with this: 


Pic.Draw (picture,x,y,picCopy)
% The x is your x co-ordinate and the y is your y co-ordinate. You input the co-ordinate's you desire.


all together it's :


var picture : int :=Pic.FileNew ("PictureName")
Pic.Draw (picture,x,y,picCopy)


Note: If you want the picture as your background. You need 
A) a picture big enough
B) the right screen size
C) if you don't have a picture big enough you can use Turing's scale function which makes it bigger, big distorted your picture.

Actual image?
Well you need to save your current programing somewhere. After you have saved it, you save a picture in the same area as the program.
e.g, the desktop, a folder etc.

An example. Lest say I made a program and hit 'Save as', name it, and save it in a new folder i created called 'Picture'. In the picture folder I also put
a picture called 'Mushroom'. It is a picture of a mushroom and it is saved a .jpg like most images.

Now i open the program i just saved. in it there is a code:

var mushroompic:int

mushroompic:=Pic.FileNew("Mushroom.jpg") % NOTE! You must add the extention, turing will accept a .jpg, .gif and .bmp files.
Pic.Draw(mushroompic,5,5,picCopy)


There. That simple

i thought turing doesnt accept GIF's unless you use sprites? :S

Anyways, heres my way, simple and works :)

Pic.ScreenLoad (fileName : string, x, y, mode : int)


What this code does is load a picture pretty much.

so, il explain what it does :)

fileName : string is supposed to be replaced with the path to your file eg "C:/users/blank/desktop/picture.jpg"
(dont forget the quotations)

the x is pretty much your x coordinate from where it will load the image and they y coordinate. Since you want it tload the whole screen, it should be 0, 0.

Finally the last is pic mode, since its going to be a background and if its only going to be loaded once, what i normally use is picCopy :P

So at the end you have

Pic.ScreenLoad ("C:/users/blank/desktop/picture.jpg", 0, 0, picCopy)


Hope it helped :D
