How do you get width and height of an image imported into pygame. I got the size using:
Surface.get_size
, but I dont know how to get the width and height.
There are 2 methods available for getting the width and height of a surface.
The first one is get_size(), it returns a tuple (width,height). To access width for instance, you would do: surface.get_size()[0] and for height surface.get_size()[1].
The second method is to use get_width(), and get_height(), which return the width and the height.
I suggest going through the python tutorial, to learn more about basic data structures such as tuples.

I made an 8-frame sprite sheet to use in a walking animation, and I'm trying to use the sprite sheet to spawn a single frame to use when the character isn't moving.
This is the code I'm using to load the sprite sheet:
this.load.spritesheet('PeefSide', "assets/PeefSide.png", {frameWidth: 50, frameHeight:
60});
And this is the code that I'm using to spawn a single sprite:
this.p1 = this.physics.add.sprite(1535, 730, 'PeefSide');
But for some reason, instead of a single sprite, the entire sprite sheet spawns in the level. I'm not sure what I did wrong, so can someone provide a solution?
If it helps, I'm using phaser 3 in VSCode with arcade physics.
The problem is, that the frame-size of the phaser-spritesheet is too big (or the actual image, that is loaded, is to small).
Check the frame-size (frameWidth and frameHeight) from the this.load.spritesheet(...), with the actual image size, and alter the images size, so that the image width and height is exact multiple of the frameWidth and frameHeight, this should solve your problem.

I'm having a bit of a problem: I'm trying to access the width of a container in which I've added a sprite to, but it seems to return as 1. However, when I inspect the object in the console, it gives me the proper width.
I wrote up a code pen showing the issue, but it goes something like this:
var container = new PIXI.Container();
app.stage.addChild(container);
var sprite = PIXI.Sprite.fromImage('https://i2.wp.com/techshard.com/wp-
content/uploads/2017/05/pay-1036469_1920.jpg?ssl=1&w=200');
container.addChild(sprite);
console.log(container.height);
console.log(container);
The first console log returns 1, while if I go into the object in the second log it gives me 141.
I'm trying to center the container like in the demo. The demo container returns the proper width, unless you try and do it for only one "bunny" (replacing bunny texture with internet image, also the for loop is commented out).
Any suggestions on a proper approach for this?
Cheers
There's a few things to address here.
Firstly, what the problem in your codepen is:
You're creating a texture from an image that has yet to be loaded.
Until the image loads pixi will not be able to give you the dimensions of it, and the container reports a width and height of 1 when you immediately query them. If you put the same console.log statement in a timeout then it will report the dimensions after the image has loaded and thus the dimensions will be accurate.
Logging out the object itself seems to work because when you examine the contents of it they've been updated to the correct values because the image has loaded by that point.
If the texture is already in the cache at the point that you create a new sprite using it then you won't have to wait before you can access its true dimensions.
Secondly, why the bunny example on pixi's site doesn't have the same problem:
Actually, it does. You just don't notice it.
The magic is in the bunny.anchor.set(0.5);. It lines 25 sprites with width and height of 1 out in a grid. By spacing them out, their container now has width and height of 160.
This container is now centered immediately based on its current dimensions, and then when the sprite textures finish loading and the sprites are updated with their new dimensions. Due to their anchor being set to 0.5, however, this means they remain centered despite their container now being larger.
You can play around with using a larger image than the bunny to exaggerate things and changing the anchor value, along with using the rerun code button rather than just refreshing the page. If you rerun the code the image being used for the texture remains cached by pixi so you get different results.
Lastly, how you would resolve this issue:
Loading your assets before creating sprites with them.
(Or at least waiting before they're loaded before querying their dimensions to position things)
You can find an example of the resource loader that pixi has here: http://pixijs.io/examples/?v=next-interaction#/basics/spritesheet.js
I'm struggling with how to properly implement simultaneous movement and rotation using Kivy (in python, not kv lang). My goal is to rotate an object so it's facing its destination then move it towards the destination using Animation. Using the code below I typically get movement in relation to the angle rotated instead of in relation to my general playing area. For example the animation without rotation might move an image to point [1,1] whereas with rotation of 180* the animation is moving the image to [-1,-1]. The image is properly rotated in this scenario, meaning it's facing the right way but going the wrong way.
My understanding is that the push/pop matrix functions should provide the appropriate context for the animation rather than the rotated element context. Because the PopMatrix function is happening in Canvas.after it seems like this has no effect - my animation is completed before the original Matrix is restored.
I'm lacking some key piece of information here that's causing a lot of headache. Can someone explain why the code below causes an image to move to (-1,-1) rather than the (1,1) indicated, and how to properly implement this?
I threw this code together as an example, my game code is far more complex. That's why I'm hoping for an explanation rather than a direct solution for my code. Thanks.
with self.image.canvas.before:
PushMatrix()
self.rot = Rotate()
self.rot.axis = (0, 0, 1)
self.rot.origin=self.center
self.rot.angle=180
with self.image.canvas.after:
PopMatrix()
self.anim = Animation(pos = (1,1), duration=1)
self.anim.start(self)
self.image.pos = self.pos
self.image.size = self.size
In case others are interested in how to make this work consistently - I've found that setting origin and angle on each frame, along with binding the image widget to any pos change on it's parent will ensure the widget moves with its parent and in the proper direction. I implemented that like this:
Instantiate the image like this:
with self.image.canvas.before:
PushMatrix()
self.rot = Rotate()
self.rot.axis = (0, 0, 1)
self.rot.origin=self.center
self.rot.angle = 0
with self.image.canvas.after:
PopMatrix()
Bind it like this:
self.bind(pos = self.binding)
def binding(self, *args):
self.image.center = self.center
self.image.size = self.size
On each frame call a function that does similar to the below.
self.rot.origin = self.center
self.rot.angle = getangle()#you can use a set angle or generate a new angle every frame
Rotate effectively changes the coordinate system used by the entire canvas, so after you've rotated by 180 degrees the position [1, 1] really is in the opposite direction to what it was before, as far as any canvas instruction is concerned.
I don't know what self.image is (maybe an Image widget?), but presumably whatever you see is something like a Rectangle drawn on its canvas, whose pos and size match those of the widget. When you update that pos and size, the Rectangle is positioned according to the current coordinate system, which is in the rotated frame.
Thinking about it, I'm not sure if there's a neat way to combine Rotate instructions with Kivy's high level widget coordinates in quite this way. Of course you can work around it in various ways, such as by accounting for the rotation when setting the position of the Rectangle, but that's kind of fiddly, and inconvenient when working with prebuilt widgets. You can also look at what the Scatter widget does to enable arbitrary transformations.
If you just want to rotate by 180 degrees, you can instead adjust the image being displayed, either before displaying it or by adjusting the tex_coords of the Rectangle to change the displayed orientation. However, this won't work for arbitrary rotations, which it looks like you may want.
We have Layout Container with size Width = 200px and Height = 800px, We have images of unequal Height and width,But all images size is such that all images fit in Layout Container. How to achieve this.
Thanks.
First of all you should use dp instead of px in android and suppose you have taken the imageview of 200dp * 200dp in xml file you can set the scaleType property to fitXY or any scale type suitable to you and i suggest you to also use adjustViewBounds=true so that any image will set to it properly you can know more about scaleType here.
I also suggest you to read this blog to understand concept behind it.

I have a function that adds an imageOverlay and a semitransparent Rectangle on top of that image (so as to tint the image, and draw a keyline around it).
activeUserImage = new L.imageOverlay(imageUrl, imageBounds).addTo(map);
activeUserTile = new L.rectangle(imageBounds, {stroke: true, color: "#ffffff", opacity:1, weight: 1, fillColor: "#003572", fillOpacity: 0.7, clickable:true}).addTo(map);
this works great, but then I want to remove the image and rectangle with:
map.removeLayer(activeUserImage);
map.removeLayer(activeUserTile);
This seems to work well...
However when I try and add a second Image & Rectangle (using the same function) the rectangle SVG is being rendered underneath the image, so I don't see the colored overlay.
This seems to be because the element is being left behind from the first creation, and then when the image is being added a second time it appears in front of the SVG.
Q:
Is this a bug? Should the SVG element not be cleared too?
Can I adjust z-index of the image or SVG on creation?
should i be containing to rectangle in a different layer to the images? How?
Many Thanks
OK, so the Leaflet bringToFront() method didn't work, but instead I have used a bit of JQuery to force the same approach.
svgObj = $('.leaflet-overlay-pane svg');
svgObj.css('z-index', 9999);
This works, but still feels like a hack... however if (?) there is a bug in LEaflet, then maybe this will have to do???
Any better ideas?
The bringToFront() function alows you to bring layer to the top.
Search it in the docs.
