ImageMorph is a direct subclass of Morph. An ImageMorph object has an additional instance variable image where a Form is kept (accessors #form, #image, #image:).
InspectorBrowser openOn: ImageMorph new
Read a graphic file from the disk and display it with an ImageMorph object
To get an ImageMorph object from a file evaluate
(Form fromFileNamed: 'myGraphicsFileName') asMorph openInWorld
Note on usage
1.
ImageMorphs should be favored over SketchMorphs. For the reason of this see see FAQ: Difference between SketchMorph and ImageMorph.
2.
If you send the message asMorph to Form object you get an ImageMorph object.
Example:
To have the user select part of the screen and create a morph and find out the class of that morph evaluate
Form fromUser asMorph class
ImageMorph
If you actually want to see the ImageMorph object you have to evaluate the following
Form fromUser asMorph openInWorld
How to store and image as code in a method
See example ImageCoderMorph (create an image from code stored in a method)
