AttributeError: 'Picture' object has no attribute 'reposition'

JanV

Hello,

I added a series of jpg files (called 1.jpg through 327.jpg) to the file pool and used some inline scripts to determine which jpg files should be displayed during a trial. [my_literal] is a number between 1 and 327 set using an inline script. To display the corresponding picture, I tried using the following sketchpad script:

set duration keypress
set description "Displays stimuli"
draw image center=1 file="[my_literal].jpg" scale=1 show_if=always x=0 y=0 z_index=0
draw textline center=1 color=white font_bold=no font_family=mono font_italic=no font_size=18 html=yes show_if=always text="[my_literal]" x=0 y=96 z_index=0

When I run the experiment, I get the following error message; Googling it didn't return anything useful:

Unexpected error

Incidentally, the textline only serves debugging purposes: If I remove the "draw image" line, the experiment runs find and the "draw textline" line confirms that [my_literal] produces a number between 1 and 327.

If I just use "1.jpg" etc., instead of "[my_literal].jpg", the experiment runs fine, too, but that wouldn't solve my problem.

Any ideas? Thanks!

I'm sorry - I just found out that I receive the same error when I use "1.jpg" now.

JanV

Aha! I changed the Back-end in the experiment file from xpyriment to legacy, and now it works

Hi Jan,

I suspect that you have an older version of expyriment installed. Could that be it?

Cheers!
