Image.createImage returns a clipped image

[rambler82]

Hi everybody,

I'm developing a J2ME application that should get a snapshot from the camera and show it to the user. I initialized the camera as follows

p = Manager.createPlayer("capture://video");
p.realize();

// Grab the video control and set it to the current display.
vc = (VideoControl)p.getControl("VideoControl");
if (vc != null) {
   videoForm.append((Item)vc.initDisplayMode(vc.USE_GUI_PRIMITIVE, null));
                    getDisplay().setCurrent(videoForm);
}

p.start();

and get an image by calling

imageData = vc.getSnapshot(null);

The problem is that when i create a Image object and show it on a form or a splashscreen i have clipped image. If I use a Form and append the image to it, the left part of the picture is shown. If i use a splashscreen it shows the central part. But never the whole image.
What I do is

snapShot = Image.createImage(imageData, 0, imageData.length);
                    
getSplashScreen().setImage(snapShot);
getDisplay().setCurrent(getSplashScreen());

I'm using a Nokia N73.

Anybody got a clue?

Thanks in advance

From the problem description, it seems to be a problem of clipping: maybe the image is simply too big to fit within the screen size, or you're setting clipping regions too small for the image itself.

The fact is that if i dump the image byte array on a file i get the well-dimensioned image. How can i resize the image then?

You can find many examples of image resizing in J2ME around, like this:
