Prima::StdBitmap

DESCRIPTION

The toolkit contains sysimage.gif image library, which consists of a predefined set of images, used in several toolkit modules. To provide a unified access to the images this module can be used. The images are assigned a "sbmp::" constant, which is used as an index on a load request. If loaded successfully, images are cached and the successive requests return the cached values.

The images can be loaded as "Prima::Image" and "Prima::Icon" instances. To discriminate, two methods are used, correspondingly "image" and "icon".

SYNOPSIS

        use Prima::StdBitmap;
        my $logo = Prima::StdBitmap::icon( sbmp::Logo );

API

Methods

icon INDEX: Loads INDEXth image frame and returns "Prima::Icon" instance.
image INDEX: Loads INDEXth image frame and returns "Prima::Image" instance.
load_std_bmp INDEX, AS_ICON, USE_CACHED_VALUE, IMAGE_FILE: Loads INDEXth image frame from IMAGE_FILE and returns it as either a "Prima::Image" or as a "Prima::Icon" instance, depending on value of boolean AS_ICON flag. If USE_CACHED_VALUE boolean flag is set, the cached images loaded previously can be used. If this flag is unset, the cached value is never used, and the created image is not stored in the cache. Since the module's intended use is to provide shared and read-only access to the image library, USE_CACHED_VALUE set to 0 can be used to return non-shared images.

Constants

An index value passed to the methods must be one of "sbmp::" constants:

Scalars

$sysimage scalar is initialized to the file name to be used as a source of standard image frames by default. It is possible to alter this scalar at run-time, which causes all subsequent image frame request to be redirected to the new file.
