I tried to use createjs to create a movieClip and add an image inside it like this:
rect2 = new Bitmap(_preloader.getResult("rect").result);
mv = new MovieClip("single", 0, false, []);
mv.addChild(rect2);
_stage.addChild(mv);
I expect to see rect2 on stage, but it dose not show up, if I added rect2 to stage it will show up, so what's I am missing here?
Is there any reason you are using MovieClip? It is mainly used to handle export from Flash Pro using Toolkit for CreateJS.
Instead, you might try using a Bitmap instance, which wraps an image, canvas, or video element.
One note for MovieClips is that you need to gotoAndStop/gotoAndPlay in order to set the initial state, it does not "default" to the first frame like Flash.

I'm trying to create an overlay in ArcGIS that has moving graphics/symbols which are updated by coordinates received from roving devices. I'm able to display a simple symbol initially but cannot get it to move on the map. My test code is
GraphicsOverlay machineOverlay = new GraphicsOverlay();
MainMapView.GraphicsOverlays.Add(machineOverlay);
MapPointBuilder rdLocation = new MapPointBuilder(150.864119200149, -32.3478640837185, SpatialReferences.Wgs84);
SimpleMarkerSymbol sRD1234 = new SimpleMarkerSymbol()
{
Color = System.Drawing.Color.Red,
Size = 10,
Style = SimpleMarkerSymbolStyle.Circle
};
Graphic graphicWithSymbol = new Graphic(rdLocation.ToGeometry(), sRD1234);
machineOverlay.Graphics.Add(graphicWithSymbol);
// here the red circle is displayed correctly on the map
rdLocation.SetXY(150.887115, -32.357600);
rdLocation.ReplaceGeometry(rdLocation.ToGeometry());
// here I expect the red circle to move but it doesn't
Do I need to trigger an event to "re-render" or refresh the overlay, or what do I need to do to get the graphic to move on my map?
There was a similar question here and the answer was "just update the geometry" which is what I'm attempting to do, but with no success.
If there is an entirely different or better approach to moving markers on a map please suggest, I'm just getting started in the ArcGIS runtime.
Thanks
After a lot of searching I replaced one line of code and its now working
//rdLocation.ReplaceGeometry(rdLocation.ToGeometry());
graphicWithSymbol.Geometry = rdLocation.ToGeometry();
It seems I misunderstood the function of ReplaceGeometry(). Any clarification on this would be helpful.
I'm trying to apply a pixelation shader to my textures and I need it to be applied only once, after that I can reuse my shader generated images as textures over and over without having to calculate every single time.
so how do I take a few images -> apply a shader and render them only once every time the game loads -> and use them as my textures?
so far I've managed to find the shader to apply:
shader_type canvas_item;
uniform int amount = 40;
void fragment()
{
vec2 grid_uv = round(UV * float(amount)) / float(amount);
vec4 text = texture(TEXTURE, grid_uv);
COLOR = text;
}
but I have no idea how to render out the images using it
Shaders reside in the GPU, and their output goes to the screen. To save the image, the CPU would have to see the GPU output, and that does not happen… Usually. And since it does not go through the CPU, the performance is good. Usually. Well, at least it is better than if the CPU was doing it all the time.
Also, are you sure you don't want to get a pixel art look by other means? Such as removing filter from the texture, changing the stretch mode and working on a small resolution, and perhaps enable pixel snap? No? Watch How to make a silky smooth camera for pixelart games in Godot. Still No? Ok...
Anyway, for what you want, you are going to need a Viewport.
Viewport setup
What you will need is to create a Viewport. Don't forget to set its size. Also may want to set render_target_v_flip to true, this flips the image vertically. If you find the output image is upside down it is because you need to toggle render_target_v_flip.
Then place as child of the Viewport what you want to render.
Rendering
Next, you can read the texture form the Viewport, convert it to an image, and save it to a png. I'm doing this on a tool script attached to the Viewport, so I'll have a workaround to trigger the code from the inspector panel. My code looks like this:
tool
extends Viewport
export var save:bool setget do_save
func do_save(new_value) -> void:
var image := get_texture().get_data()
var error := image.save_png("res://output.png")
if error != OK:
push_error("failed to save output image.")
You can, of course, export a FILE path String to ease changing it in the inspector panel. Here I'm handing common edge cases:
tool
extends Viewport
export(String, FILE) var path:String
export var save:bool setget do_save
func do_save(_new_value) -> void:
var target_path := path.strip_edges()
var folder := target_path.get_base_dir()
var file_name := target_path.get_file()
var extension := target_path.get_extension()
if file_name == "":
push_error("empty file name.")
return
if not (Directory.new()).dir_exists(folder):
push_error("output folder does not exist.")
return
if extension != "png":
target_path += "png" if target_path.ends_with(".") else ".png"
var image := get_texture().get_data()
var error := image.save_png(target_path)
if error != OK:
push_error("failed to save output image.")
return
print("image saved to ", target_path)
Another option is to use ResourceSaver:
tool
extends Viewport
export var save:bool setget do_save
func do_save(new_value) -> void:
var image := get_texture().get_data()
var error := ResourceSaver.save("res://image.res", image)
if error != OK:
push_error("failed to save output image.")
This will only work from the Godot editor, and will only work for Godot, since you get a Godot resource file. Although I find interesting the idea of using Godot to generate images. I'm going to suggest going with ResourceSaver if you want to automate generating them for Godot.
About saving resources from tool scripts
In the examples above, I'm assuming you are saving to a resource path. This is because the intention is to use the output image as a resource in Godot. Using a resource path has a couple implications:
This might not work on an exported game (since the goals is improve the workflow, this is OK).
Godot would need to re-import the resource, but will not notice it changed.
We can deal with the second point from an EditorPlugin, if that is what you are doing, you can do this to tell Godot to scan for changes:
get_editor_interface().get_resource_filesystem().scan()
And if you are not, you can cheat by creating an empty EditorPlugin. The idea is to do this:
var ep = EditorPlugin.new()
ep.get_editor_interface().get_resource_filesystem().scan()
ep.free()
By the way, you will want to cache cache the EditorPlugin instead of making a new one each time. Or better yet, cache the EditorFileSystem you get from get_resource_filesystem.
Automation
Now, I'm aware that it can be cumbersome to have to place things inside the Viewport. It might be Ok for your workflow if you don't need to do it all the time.
But what about automating it? Well, regardless of the approach, you will need a tool script that makes a hidden Viewport, takes a Node, checks if it has a shader, if it does, it moves it temporarily to the Viewport, get the rendered texture (get_texture()) sets it as the texture of the Node, removes the shader, and returns the Node to its original position in the scene. Or instead of looking for a shader in the Node, always apply a shader to whatever Node, perhaps loaded as a resource instead of hard-coded.
Note: I believe you need to let an idle frame pass between adding the Node to the Viewport and getting the texture, so the texture updates. Or was it two idle frames? Well, if one does not work, try adding another one.
About making an EditorPlugin
As you know, you can create an addon from project settings. This will create an EditorPlugin script for you. There you can either add an option to the tools menu (with add_tool_menu_item), or add it to the tool bar of the editor (with add_control_to_container). And have it act on the current selection in the edited scene (you can either use get_selection, or overwrite the edit and handles methods). You may also want to make an undo entry for that, see get_undo_redo.
Or, alternatively you can have it keep track (or look for) the Nodes it has to act upon, and then work on the build virtual method, which runs when the project is about to run. I haven't worked with the build virtual method, so I don't know if it has any quirks to gotchas to be aware of.
I have been playing with custom filters in Fabric JS. But I just don't know how to undo anything done. Seems the pixels get overwritten by the process, which is fine, but how do I go back to the orginal? The code project starter is here:
https://github.com/pixolith/fabricjs-async-web-worker-filters
So, in the custom filter, the results are placed into the canvas as follows:
imageDataArray.forEach( function( data ) {
cacheCtx.putImageData( data.data, 0, data.blocks );
} );
That shows the processed image in the render. But I don't understand how to "get back" the original. I have tried this before the processing:
var obj = canvas.getActiveObject();
var originalSource = obj._originalElement.currentSrc; // restore the original since filters trash the canvas
obj.filters[index] = filter;
obj.applyFilters(canvas.renderAll.bind(canvas));
But it does not "get it back". I really don't wish to reload the image each time as they can be large at times. Any help appreciated.
As you noted obj._originalElement is the ORIGINAL element of the image you first loaded. No reason to reload it at all, you have it there. Ready to be smashed on canvas.
So just do obj.element = obj._originalElement and you are back to original after a canvas.renderAll();
When creating a SVG image you have to set width,height and position otherwise it will not be rendered.
How do I read them from the original image?
Using Dart I first load the html image and after it's loaded I get the size and then define the SVG image and use the info I got before. This is a bit cumbersome and I wondered if there is another way.
The dart code looks like this:
ImageElement img = new ImageElement(src:'2.jpg'); //401x600
img.onLoad.listen((e) {
svg.ImageElement image = new svg.ImageElement();
image.setAttribute('x', '0');
image.setAttribute('y', '0');
image.setAttribute('width', img.width.toString());
image.setAttribute('height', img.height.toString());
image.getNamespacedAttributes('http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink')['href'] = '2.jpg';
});
There seems not to be a more convenient method (also not in JavaScript except when you use jQuery or another framework that includes methods for this).
Just create a method yourself and reuse that method for each image you load.
I am making application on vLine.
I wonder is it possible to change the direction of movie.
Currently,the pitcure on my camera(small frame) is left-right side reversed like a mirror.
It is sometimes a bit confusing.
If we can also switch upside-down ,
it is very useful especially using outside camera.
NOTE: This answer assumes that you are not using the uiVideoPanel widget.
You can style the HTML element that is created as a result of calling MediaStream.createMediaElement() or MediaStream.createVideoElement() with CSS. By default, the local video will be mirrored and the remote video will not. You can see an example of this by making a call with the shell example.
You can apply a CSS transform to the HTML element to mirror the image or flip it upside down.
To mirror, you'd use transform: scaleX(-1) and to flip upside down you'd use transform: scaleY(-1). Also, you may need to add a vendor-specific prefix to transform, such as -webkit-transform.
For example, in the shell example you can add the following in the mediaSession:addRemoteStream handler:
// flip remote video upside-down
// 'stream' is the MediaStream
// 'elem' is the result from stream.CreateMediaElement()
if (stream.isRemote()) {
elem.css('transform', 'scaleY(-1)'); // Firefox
elem.css('-webkit-transform', 'scaleY(-1)'); // Chrome
}
