using loadImage outside of the PApplet object
Jul 20^th, 2005, 11:50am

Is there a way of using loadImage outside of the PApplet object?

I have libraries/howto.txt which I belive may be telling me what to do (??) but I did't get it (a bit new to java and oo).
I am making an package... I want to do something like this (but in a working way).

package foo;
import processing.core.*;

public class fool {

private PImage image;

public fool()
{
image = new PImage();
image = loadImage("foo.jpg");
}

public PImage getImage()
{
return image;
}

}

your class will need to have access to a PApplet instance in order to use its loadImage() method. you can achieve that by passing in a PApplet to the constructor of your class or pass in an PImage directly (instead of loading it from your class)

Code:

 package foo;
import processing.core.*;
 
public class Fool {
  private PImage image;

  public Fool(PApplet parent) {
    image = new PImage();
    image = parent.loadImage("foo.jpg");
  }

  public PImage getImage()
  {
    return image;
  }
}

then use like this:

Code:

Fool me;

void setup() {
  me=new Fool(this);
}
