Display image on V5 using vex code

Brain.Screen.drawImageFromFile( "myimage.bmp", 100, 100 );

only bmp and png images are able to be displayed.

do .gifs work in vexcode?

Not directly, there a demo here (that needs updating for the latest SDK features) that used animated gifs

Animated GIF Demo (VEXcode)

Hers’s another demo that can be built with VEXcode. It’s not very well developed and uses a couple of C API’s that we don’t usually expose that were added to vexos 1.0.5. I’ll also explain a couple of more advanced aspects of the setup in another post later, specifically how to allow VEXcode access to more dynamic memory than is available with the default project build scripts. output looks like this.

replace “myimage.bmp” with the name of you image file on the SD card.
make sure the image is less than 480 x 272 (although it will still be cropped to 240 pixels heigh)

so if you image is called “sahil.png” and fills the screen use

Brain.Screen.drawImageFromFile( "sahil.png", 0, 0 );
