Greetings,

In my application, I am loading one of many .jpgs of unknown width and height. My GUI will have a height limit, but not a width limitation.
Therefore, I want to scale the image based on the height, and center it based on the width.

I'm not getting the expected feedback from getWidth, that I wanted. It seems this is giving me the Control Objects width, and not the image's width.

Code:

caller_img=self.getControl(CALLER_IMG)
caller_img.setImage(__hf_addondir__ + get_kodi_prop("caller_name") + ".jpg")

call_img_width=caller_img.getWidth()
call_img_height=caller_img.getHeight()
log("width: " + str(call_img_width))
log("height: " + str(call_img_height))

What I see is this:

Code:

16:02:09 T:140537859438336  NOTICE: HFXML: width: 640
16:02:09 T:140537859438336  NOTICE: HFXML: height: 256

The height being what I set in the XML file, and retaining the aspect ratio.
But the width is definitely not right. Every image I select returns the same value.

Can I actually get the image's width/height? I definitely need something from the width, so I can center this image.

Thanks!

i don't think you can.
that being said, i fail to understand why you'd need it.

if you use this in your xml:

Code:

<aspectratio>keep</aspectratio>

the image will be centered within the image control.

He probably needs to align something to the image and not the control. There has to be a way as I think the photoviewer thingy can show the bitmap width/height?

I found something here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/80326...ternal-lib

Mentions a python module called pillow. And something called PIL.

Ronie was right. Perhaps I was overthinking this. I didn't realize the controlImage was more of an area with an image in side it. When I made the controlImage width the entire width of the area, and the height being set to 256, it centers every image perfectly.

Thanks for the lesson!
