I have an image in my report. I want to use rounded corner image format. (Because now my frame is square so corners appear black) How can I use that? ( My details shown in the image. )
You can't, as far as I can tell. Images are rectangular.
What you could do is to edit the image itself - create a white rectangle and paste current image onto it so that currently black corners turn into white. Then, when you insert such an image, it'll look OK in the report.
I would like only the bottom part of the image to get clipped, is that possible? Currently, equal portions of the image get clipped at the top and at the bottom.
I tried setting VerticalOptions to Start, but had no success.
The red rectangles represent the screen and the blue rectangles represent the image that needs clipping. The top figure shows the current state and the bottom figure the desired state.
I'm working on a project and I'm currently stuck at the GUI. I'm trying to make a bar like in the picture: a white circle is slowly filled up with beer but the beer image should move up instead of stretching, the image is squared because at every moment it should fill horizontally the white circle, but should not go outside the white circle.
I made the slider fill bottom to top, then assigned the beer image to the Fill area and set Preserv Aspect so it doesn't stretch, but I don't know how to go on. How do I proceed? Thanks in advance for the help.
Is it possible to move the background image in app inventor?
I'm trying to use the call canvas background pixel color block to get the color of different parts of the background. If I can't move the background image, can I use math blocks to change the x and y parts of the call canvas background pixel color block to a variable?
Important Note
I am referring to the image sprite, under the drawings and animations tab.
An image will have coordinates once you put it inside of a canvas. In order to move it, create 2 sliders with 2 balls and 2 narrow canvases that are (seemingly) equal to the ball's diameter. (Place underneath the image, make sure the image isn't too big)
Go into blocks and place the "when dragged" command, and hook up the change in the ball's x/y to the change of the images x/y. (Assuming you know how to make the ball move while you drag it, also very simplistic). This will make the image's movement equal to the ball's movement (1:1 ratio) Depending on how much you want the image to move, your'e going to have to implement a ratio.
When you drag the ball(s), the image should move with it.
Using GIMP 2, I have an image of a grey chair on a white background, as below:
I now want to set the background to transparent. Therefore, I decided to use GIMP's "Color To Alpha" tool. So, I told it to set all pixels which are white (255, 255, 255) to transparent, as below:
This did set all white pixels to transparent. However, it also set the grey pixels on the chair to be partially transparent, as below:
So when I export this image and place it in front of a background, there is no white box around the chair -- but the background partially shows through the chair.
What am I doing wrong?
First, this question is offtopic here, and should be on https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com .
Second, it is trivial enough just to answer: the color to alpha plug-in is not there to turn a single color, as seem on the image, to transparency: it is a sophisticated plug-in that will remove one color of your image in a way that, if you lace the new image over a background of the same color the color you removed, you get the original image back.
Thus, in your case, it removed the "whiteness" of your chair, transforming all pixels to different opaque shades of black - so that when placed over white, you get the original image.
To simply remove the white, you have to cick on the Select By Color tool (by default th 5th icon on the toolbox), click on the white background to have it selected, and then just edit->cut. (It won't work if your image layer does not have transparency to start with - if that is the case, prior to edit->cut do Layer->Transparency->Add Alpha Channel).
If you get aliased borders, then, after edit>cut, but prior to dismissing your selection, you can do Select->Border... by 1 or 2px, and then use the color to alpha filter with White on this selection.
For more information on Color to Alpha, I have this other answer its use and comparison with edit-cut here: https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/28058/gimp-color-to-alpha-is-not-selectable/28097#28097
Just use a selection to restrict the action of Color to alpha where it matters: backgroundand edge pixels:
Select background with fuzzy select
Select>Grow by one pixel so that the selection ofverlaps the edge pixels
Color>Color to alpha
