[max5] Background image on max!!!
How do I insert a jpeg image to use as a background on my max patch?
Under the max tutorials check out Interface Tutorial 2: Picture UI Elements
i looked that! isn't that only for buttons and sliders, not the background itself?
i tried using the cell phone thing and replacing the image with mine, but max 5 crashes every single time i upload my picture...
Well you can put them in the background and in the inspector choose ignore click.
Well that's no good. Have you done the typical stuff: restart max, restart your computer?
it's not due to file size is it? and yea it crashes every time, so i have to restart every time :S
I have max 5 and just tried to add a pic that was 2.7 MB without a problem. Sorry man, I'm not sure what to tell ya
If nobody responds to this thread by tomorrow, send an email to cycling74, they're pretty good about either answering your issue or sending you a link to a thread that answers your issue.
what object did you use?
I tried both pictctrl and pictslider
i tried and it works with other pictures, but not that specific one...
Maybe the pic is corrupt? Try converting your pic to a different format
how do i make it show the full picture?
how do i make the photo show the full image, instead of only half, when i use pictrl??
all you need to do is copy an image to the clipboard, using your favourite image viewer/editor, then in max open an empty patcher and select paste picture in the edit menu. works for me on a mac with max 5 anyway...
Terry's method is probably what you want. That creates an fpic object. You can also create the fpic first, then choose the image via the Inspector or via message. fpic has a few useful attributes and messages, too.
i was able to insert the picture, but when i want to enlarge it to fit the full screen, only the dotted box enlarges, not the image itself.. help please!
check Scale To Box in the fpic inspector.
