loadImage() and image()

Loads an image into the code's assets

Example

def setup():
    ...
    loadImage("http://donkeyImage.png",'donkey')

def draw():
    ...
    image(assets['donkey'],50,50,300,300)

Syntax

def setup():
    ...
    loadImage("sourceURL",'NAME')

def draw():
    ...
    image(assets['NAME'],x,y,w,h)

Input	Description
sourceURL	web or local URL of image to be loaded
NAME	name for variable of image in code
x	x co-ordinate of bottom left corner of image
y	y co-ordinate of bottom left corner of image
w	width of image
h	height of image

Description

Loads an image into memory from an external source so that it can be used in code. The sourceURL can be a web address (for example "http://donkeyImage.png") - this is the usual situation - or the local address if the file is stored with the rest of your code.

Once an image is loaded, image(assets['NAME'], x, y, w, h) can be called to draw the image at position (x, y) with width w and height h
