How do I... Make an image viewer?
|
Using Zugg's URL detection pattern, edited to only trigger on URLS that end .gif, .JPG and.PNG, it should be possible to use #makewindow to pop up a floating window, then use the #mxp <image ... > tag to display an image in that window.
The first thing that happens when I enter a URL is that the image is downloaded, then I have to enter just the image name to get it to display. Is there any way this whole plan will actually work or is MXP jsut not set up for allowing this sort of shenannigans? |

Here's a crude image viewer that should do what you want, or at least give you a good starting point.
| Code: |
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<cmud>
<trigger priority="60" copy="yes">
<pattern>showim (http*)</pattern>
<value><![CDATA[#mxp <image fname=%char(34)%1%char(34)>
$filename = %subregex(%1,"http.*/","")
#show $filename
#mxp <image fname=%char(34)./images/$filename%char(34)>
#mxp <FRAME Name="Frame" action="open" Left="-50c" Top="0" Width="50c" Height="50c">
#execwin Frame {#clr}
#execwin Frame {#mxp <image fname=%char(34)./images/$filename%char(34)>; #echo hello}]]></value>
</trigger>
</cmud>
|
To use it, try the following command:
| Code: |
| #show showim http://forums.zuggsoft.com/forums/images/avatars/172896370346230b24779a1.gif |
There are a couple things to note, which may be by design or may be bugs.
1. The #image command assumes an absolute path and reference a relative directory.
2. <image url="http://XXXXX"> only downloads the image, it doesn't display it.
[Edit] I don't know my MXP Well enough but #2 here might actually be a bug. Any MXP wiz's care to chime in?
3. <image fname="XXXXX"> will properly display a local image and can reference a relative directory |
