Using gifs in processing

ehsan

Hi,

Can anyone help me with how I'd insert a transparent .gif on on to my processing file? I've read on this website that the .gif library isn't supported on Processing 3 so surely there must be an alternative?

I want it layered above my background image.

New to the whole concept!

Thank you :)

Also, don't forget that the main sketch background() doesn't support true transparency. You can draw something transparent onto the background, but the result is flattened -- depending on the transparent effects you need, you may need to use PGraphics.

It is not possible to use the transparency alpha parameter with background colors on the main drawing surface. It can only be used along with a PGraphics object and createGraphics().
