Copying images to canvas

[anees042]

Hello Every One!

I am copying images to the screen through canvas.blit(photo). i m to some extent successfull with that.

now i am trying to copy another two small images to the top of the screen. canvas.blit(signal_image,(5,5))
in the above example the first 5 is (i assume) the x co-ordinate
and the second is y co-ordinate
and
canvas.blit(battery_image,(40,50))

but the result what iam getting is the signal_image draws to the screen while the battery_image doesnt.

am i doing it correctly if yes then whats the problem if no then please correct me.

thanks..

I would make so

import graphics
body=graphics.Image.new((20,20))
body.blit(signal_image,(5,5))
body.blit(battery_image,(15,5))
canvas.blit(body)

Hello Versoul!

body=graphics.Image.new((20,20))

in the above line the first 20 is the x co-ordinate and the second one is y.

and the same for the others.
m i right?

Thanks..

Actually those are the dimensions of the new, blank image (20 pixels wide, 20 pixels high). You could think of them as x,y coordinates, but they are dimensions.

Hello Galiceanu!

so these are dimensions, where will be the new blank image copied to?
is there a way to specify a certain position on the screen to copy the image to?

can you give me explanation of the blit() method?

blit(image, source, target)

Thanks in advance

blit(image, target, source)

image is the image you want to blit
target is where you want to blit it on the other image (x,y)
source is the portion of the image you want to blit (x1,y1,x2,y2)
