Width = Board width in Å,

FLOAT

Height = Board height in Å

Required:

The MakeImageObj command creates a rectangular polygon of the specified width and height, and attaches the selected image to it. The image must have been loaded before using LoadBMP or LoadPNG .

Note that the image itself is not saved as part of the scene , so when you load a scene containing an image object, you additionally have to load the image.

The created images rotates around the origin of its local coordinate system , which is at the center of the image. Use the MoveMesh command to shift the origin.

Example 1:

MakeImageObj Title,2,80,40

Create an object named Title, 80x40 Angstroms large and attach image 2 to it.

Example 2:

obj = MakeImageObj Wall,3,width=50,height=50

Create an object named Wall, 50x50 Angstroms large, attach image 3 to it and assign the object number to variable 'obj'.

Example macro:


# EXAMPLE MakeImageObj
# Requires YASARA Model
Clear
LoadBMP ysrbkgr1
for i=1 to 8
  MakeImageObj bg(i),ysrbkgr1,(20+i*2),(20+i*2)
  RotateObj (i),Z=(i*10)
  RotateObj (i),X=(i*10)
  AutoRotateObj (i),Y=(0.25*i)
