DrawImage tiled

[tjheldna]

I don't think you can but it won't hurt to ask. Is it possible to tile an image using DrawImage?

 

I've created a speech dialog box in which I want a header image, footer image and the body image which the height is variable depending on how much text is displayed.

 

Obviously I could create a series of smaller body images to match the size of the dialog windos text, but if the above was possible it would be a lot nicer.

 

Also is it possible to clip a drawn image? I remember doing something like this in 2.5 with buffers, but not sure how to do it in 3.1.

I hope there's an easier way but the only thing I can think of is creating your own texture on the fly

There's also SetShader but I don't know if that's helpful in any way

Texture::Create looks interesting, I'll look into it some more tonight and see what I can come up with. I could also see uses for progress bars that are made from images not rectangles.

 

Thanks

See GraphicsDriver::TileImage() and bear in mind that you are using unofficial features.

Yep it's there, I'll give it a try (unofficially that is )
