Loading in images

Hi guys,

How does one import images into SmallTalk? I have a .jpeg file that I created using the paint widget in the widgets shared tab.

However I want this to load into my program at another point, is it a case of using a SketchMorph?? If somebody could just point me in the right direction?

Thanks
Andrew

Re: Loading in images

Here's something to try:
Do a cmd-click on the paint object to bring up the halos.

To load it back in, one way is to just drag and drop onto your open Squeak image.

You can use the same halo menu to set it as your background too, among other things.

Hope this helps.
Ken

Thanks Ken,

Yes I just figured that bit out I was meaning more in code to load the image up as a Morph of some description?

Thanks

Try

SketchMorph fromFile: '<yourImageFileNameHere>'

or

(ImageReadWriter formFromFileNamed: '<yourImageFileNameHere>') asMorph
