Importing Images into Max MSP

Hey,

Trying to spruce up my Patch a little bit, is there any way I can import an image to use as a background? Or change the background colour etc? Sorry if it's an obvious question! Any tips on how to make a patch look less boring would be appreciated really!

Cheers.

Try with the "pictctrl" object. You choose it, click on his ispector and go to "image", then choose your picture. Remember to select "ignore click" if you don't wanna use your image as a button.

Exactly what I needed, cheers dude!

I did this (described above), but my image was cut off horizontally. My image is wide, and I would like to display the entire thing. Are there any horizontal adjustments within the object?

Thanks

hey ; this thread is 4 years old so probably it did not exist at that time, but today there is an object that is way more suited to import images ; it's [fpic]. It has a ton of options to resize source/destination or autofit or whatnot, so i'm practically sure you will find your happiness there :)
