What is it you are trying to achieve?
Import a picture from the same directory .


What is the problem you are having?
Does not display


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
Reading the walkthrough

Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)

Turing:

var mypic : int := Pic.FileNew ("World of warcraft.bmp" ?) Pic.Draw (mypic, maxx div 2, maxy div 2, 0)

Please specify what version of Turing you are using
Latest version

What's that question mark doing there?

[Dan]

There should be no '?' in Pic.FileNew ("World of warcraft.bmp" ?)

Do you get an error or warrning saying illegal picture id? If so it is likey that turing can not find the picture file you are refuring to.

Make sure it is in the same directory as the turing program.

[nonamedude]

Ok what do u mean the same directory, i just put the program in a folder and then made another folder inside and put the picture in it

Program folder------>Pictures------->World of warcraft

If there should be no Pic.FileNew ("World of warcraft.bmp" ?)
then how should i specify where the pic is?

[tjmoore1993]

The following should be

Turing:

var mypic : int := Pic.FileNew ("World of warcraft.bmp") Pic.Draw (mypic, maxx div 2, maxy div 2, 0)

[tjmoore1993]

Specifying where a picture is fairly simple. Locate where your picture is either outside or inside your current project folder.

Example

("Picture.bmp") assuming it is in the same folder as the saved project

("C:\\Picture.bmp") assuming it is located in the C drive directory.

You said the image was in the pictures directory, or in the same directory?

[nonamedude]

The picture is in a folder, and the folder is in the folder that the program is in.<----- Hope u get this

[tjmoore1993]

I get it fully. Your picture is located in a folder within the project files destination.

Turing:

var mypic : int := Pic.FileNew ("Folder\\World of warcraft.bmp") Pic.Draw (mypic, maxx div 2, maxy div 2, 0)

[nonamedude]

var mypic : int := Pic.FileNew ("pictures\\World of warcraft.bmp")
Pic.Draw (mypic, maxx div 2, maxy div 2, 0)

An it says file cannot be succesfully created, (If this helps, isaved it as a 24 bit bmp)

[tjmoore1993]

Make sure that everything is spelled as shown for example if it has capitals remember to add them because it is case sensitive.

If you have the problem still take a snapshot of your setup and show us. This will allow us to figure out how you got set up.

Edit*
By the time you figure this out you will laugh and be making things like this

Here is the picture

[nonamedude]

For some reason it is nt displaying it big enough so i'll write what it says EXACTLY what it says

C:\users\owner\documents\Pri\School\culminating\pictures

there cant be a mistake in there, its copy and paste

[tjmoore1993]

I am not sure why it is not popping up. Maybe try removing the spaces in the file name and etc.

Put them in the same folder and make sure you have the right file extension
