Ability to show pictures from within Cesium #201

Closed Shlayne closed 2 years ago

Hey again,

As the title states, I'd like the ability to view, not necessarily edit (although that would be pretty dang cool), pictures from within Cesium.

Ideas:

There's already some cool programs for picture viewing on calculators, such as: https://github.com/TheLastMillennial/HD-Picture-Viewer

In this case, I specifically meant the ability to view picvars generated by programs. For example, this: Pic1

I could just copy the picvar to my pc, convert it to a png, resize it from 265x165 to 320x240, convert it according to the tutorial, send it back to my calculator. However the result would be stretched due to the different aspect ratios.

I could view the picvar using TIOS via vars+4, but the bottom and right sides are cropped off a little. I could also use RecallPic, but if the picvar has transparency, like the above one does, I'd have to clear the graph screen first, including disabling axes, then restore them later using a GDB or something.

The main idea behind this is workflow simplicity, and the simplest thing I can think of is to open Cesium, navigate to the picture folder, select the picvar I want to view, and then view it in its entirety without any fuss about graph settings.

No.
