Here's an example:
===================
drawOn: aCanvas
| pic |
(harness == nil or:[harness doRender not]) ifTrue:["still waiting
for connection"
pic _ ScriptingSystem formAtKey: #GoPic.
aCanvas
fillRectangle: self bounds color: Color yellow;
translucentImage: pic at: self extent - pic extent // 2 + bounds
origin.
^self
].
lastBounds ~= self bounds ifTrue:[
lastBounds := self bounds.
harness bounds: self bounds.
].
harness render.
Display addExtraRegion: bounds for: self.
====================
You could get <pic> from a file using "Form fromFileNamed: '/foo/bar/
my.jpg'"
or build it into your Croquet image so you don't need to have the
file available every time you startup.
Cheers,
Bob
