Dynamical drawing images in Cinder (Windows) - image

Question

I have used Cinder about few weeks and i have some problem.
I am using method "drag-and-drop" in my program :
void TutorialApp::fileDrop(FileDropEvent drop){ /// drop are images
for(size_t i=0; i<drop.getNumFiles();++i){
Vertex imageVertex = Vertex((Vec2i(drop.getPos().x, drop.getPos().y+200)));
imageVertex.path = drop.getFiles()[i];
and next my step is draw Vertex with associeted image. So that is question: how to add resources in this case, or maybe there is more easy solution? Thank

Straight to the point:
First of all,you want to keep images (i.e gl::Texture) in your objects, that you want to draw. So in your class Vertex, add this gl::Texture as member. And then I suggest to use this function to load image and edit constructor, to take gl::Texture as parameter.
So you end up with something like this:
class testVertex
{
public:
testVertex(Vec2i _pos, gl::Texture image);
void draw(){
gl::draw(texture, pos);
}
private:
gl::Texture texture;
Vec2i pos;
};
///constructor
testVertex::testVertex(Vec2i _pos, gl::Texture image)
{
pos = _pos;
texture = image;
}
class BasicApp : public AppNative {
public:
void setup();
void mouseMove( MouseEvent event );
void mouseUp( MouseEvent event );
void keyUp(KeyEvent event);
void fileDrop(FileDropEvent event);
void update();
void draw();
//// create container for testVertex
vector <testVertex> mVertices;
}
/// To load images via drop...
void BasicApp::fileDrop(FileDropEvent event){
gl::Texture fileTexture = loadImage(event.getFile(0));
mVertices.push_back(testVertex(Vec2i(event.getX(), event.getY()), fileTexture));
}
/// To draw images...
void BasicApp::draw(){
for (int i = 0; i < mVertices.size(); i++)
{
mVertices[i].draw();
}
}
///
