Displaying image in a canvas by referring to a variable using inline_script

dk11

Hi Everyone,

I have been building an experiment in which I am constructing canvases using inline_script, and I would like to display images by referring to a varialbe that contains the list of images. Ideally, that would be done with this function; however, the function does not work because it requires specifying the exact image path:

cv = canvas()
cv.image(var.Image, center=True, x=None, y=None, scale=None)

Does anyone maybe know whether it is somehow possible to display images by referring to a variable?

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

Assuming that the image is in the file pool and has the name my_image.png, then you can get the full path to the image through the pool object, like so:

full_path = pool['my_image.png']

So in your case you could present the image as follows:

cv = canvas()
cv.image(pool[var.Image])

For more examples, see:
