replace image using gtk.image.set_from_file - image

I'm trying to add and if needed by user, change the image from a widget in python.
I'm using Glade with gtk2+, python 2.7.3, and these is what I'm doing
image = gtk.Image()
image.set_from_file("MyImagePath.png")
image.show()
button = App.get_object('buttonExample')
button.add(image)
and this is what I get when try to change the image
GtkWarning: Attempting to add a widget with type GtkImage to a
GtkAspectFrame, but as a GtkBin subclass a GtkAspectFrame can only
contain one widget at a time; it already contains a widget of type
GtkImage
The image is loaded correctly as expected, but if I change the input path for image, I wish I could change the button image, but this is not what I'm getting.
I tried to use gtk.Image.clear(), but it says I cannot use it on a button (maybe im just messing things around)
Is there a good way to load and reload images to a button?
Thx

You either have to remove the old image from the button before adding a new one (the error message is pretty straightforward about this), or you could try changing the current image:
button.get_child().set_from_file("MyImagePath.png")

This was exactly what I needed. I used the clear in the image as you said and also cleaned the button image, as follows:
App.get_object('buttonExample').remove(image)
image.clear()
Thank you very much for you help!

Add markers to image similar to what the mapping apps do - Xamarin.Forms

I am currently using Xamarin.Forms and I would like to import an image and be able to add markers to it. Similar to what the mapping apps do, but want to be able to do it from an uploaded image or from taking a photo. I would also Like to be able to set a scale on it after the image was uploaded by placing two or more markers and then entering a measurement between those markers.
When displaying an image/photo I would like to place markers on them that would have more info about the pinned location on the image. These pins must be saved in a database so that the next time it's opened the markers will be in the correct location as they were placed the first time.
If anyone knows how I can get started on this, or know of any libraries that allow you to this, it would really be appreciated.
.
Update
Loading the image from file, camera or url is simple enough.
Zooming in and out after the image is loaded was simple enough too. Altering the scale size of the Image by making use of the PinchGesture.
Moving the image around ended up being simple too, and it was achieved by using the PanGesture and altering the TranslationX and TranslationY.
.
.......Still searching for a working and reliable solution for adding Pins/Markers at a location on the image and the markers need to have a click or tap event attached to it.

How to add a colored filter effect on an image?

I am building an Eclipse RCP application, based on eclipse 3.5.
I'd like to modify an image at runtime. The image is loaded and will be used as an icon, but depending on the situation, I'd like to add a filter on the image to give it a red or orange color, depending on some user-configured value.
It's the image transformation that I'm interested in. I already know how to get the image and ask a component to display it.
Has anybody done that? Thanks for your help :)
There are possibly many choices for doing just that, you can use ImageIO to load an image as BufferedImage and then get the Graphics2D and modify it as you wish. When you are finished modifying you can reaasign the newly created image back into your component which holds the original image and thats it.
You can of course look for some libraries to allow you easier image manipulation, maybe jmagick or something similar.
You can use DecoratingLabelProvider with a suitable ILabelDecorator. See also FAQ What is a label decorator?

How to display pictures in the project resource?

I have a set of small icons and hope to display them in my application when certain condition occurs, for example on sunny day, I display the sunny icon.
I can add the jpg files in the picture, and they seem to be uploaded to phone when I deploy the app. However, I don't know how to access these jpgs in my program.
Could someone help? Thanks a lot!
Check this post about content and resources: http://www.windowsphonegeek.com/tips/wp7-working-with-images-content-vs-resource-build-action
To summarize: You should mark your images with a Build Action of Content or Resource, preferably Content. Now you can reference the Content from your Xaml or in code.
If the Build Action for your image resources is set to Content, then you just specify the Source property for the Image control to the relative path to your images:
this._image.Source = new BitmapImage(
new Uri("/Images/myImage.jpg", UriKind.Relative"));
You can display pictures using the Image element:
<Image Source="/MyImage.png" Visibility="Visible"/>
If you want to switch images according to conditions then you can create multiple images and change each of their Visibility states - or (more preferable) you can create a single image element and change its Source.
Quite how you do this depends on whether you are using databinding or working directly with the UIElements in code behind.

Javascript copy canvas state as image

Seen a good charts plugin I want to use:
http://www.jqplot.com/tests/stackedTests.php
But for my visitors, they may want to save this as an image (via right click, copy as image menu item) or alternatively a button that says save as image or something similar.
So is it possible to save the canvas in any given state as an image file?
I think toDataURL could help you :)
If you are willing to use a pre-made library, you can try using Canvas2Image.
Otherwise there are a few Canvas methods that Canvas2Image wraps around and explain in more detail in the above site, namely the toDataURL method in the Canvas object that returns the data base64 encoded in the image format that you require. It's not 100% cross-browser, I think, but it's the "right" way of getting it.

Axapta: How to load an image from a file on disk into a grid with a Window Control

I have been trying:
to load an image into a window control with a datamethod that loads the file into a bitmap, returning a bitmap. This makes Axapta Crash.
When doing the same but returning an image does not do anything.
using the "active" method on the data source has some success if I set the "imagename" to the filename and the autodecalaration property to "true" on the window component. The Grid does not refresh properly and the pictures dissappear and reappear (while you change rows) for a while until it seems satisfied and then it stays on the screen.
Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.
I found the answer - it would help if the documentation was better.
On the WindowControl: Simply link the datasource to the table containing the field with the string(text) of the full path and filename; and link the datafield to that field. Hey - it works like a charm. I have been trying to return images and bitmaps all the time from a datamethod.
