You can use an image component at the bottom , this is what I've done in my Digital Vocoderhonki-bobo wrote: ↑Sat Apr 25, 2020 10:45 am - change or manipulate the background image of a module at runtime

Thanks for the hint. I've experimented with this a bit and I found a way to manipulate the background image the way I want to, though it is not very convenient. I had to write the manipulated pixel data to a BufferedImage (with all the bit shifting and bitwise or), use ImageIO to write the pixel data as a PNG into a ByteArrayOutputStream and finally add the byte array from that stream to the VoltageImage after clearing it. Also, I still have to add the screws as extra images. It would be much easier if a VoltageImage (or the VoltageModule for that matter) had a method that takes ARGB image data as an int or byte array and just displays it, similar to the setRGB(int x, int y, int rgb) method of a BufferedImage.nekomatic wrote: ↑Sat Apr 25, 2020 11:49 amYou can use an image component at the bottom , this is what I've done in my Digital Vocoderhonki-bobo wrote: ↑Sat Apr 25, 2020 10:45 am - change or manipulate the background image of a module at runtime

, though I would love to have setXXXColor(Color color) methods for all GUI elements where appropriate.Code: Select all
// Module property
private BufferedImage backgroundImage;
// Added to the initialise function
var byteBuffer = GetBinaryResource("Background.png");
byte[] imageBytes= new byte[byteBuffer.remaining()];
byteBuffer.get(imageBytes);
InputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(imageBytes);
backgroundImage = ImageIO.read(in);
Log("Oscilloscope background width: "+ backgroundImage.getWidth() + " height:" + backgroundImage.getHeight());
// Paint method:
Graphics2D g = canvas.GetGraphics();
g = canvas.GetGraphics();
g.drawImage(backgroundImage, 0, 0, null);
g.dispose(); // don't forget this :)
