how to display a JPEG picture into Rhino?

hallo people,

simple question....:)

- Does anyone know how to display a picture from Grasshopper to Rhino?

- how can locate it to (0,0,0)?

- how can I scale it?

- how can i crop it, in different shapes (circle, rectangle...)?

I just drag the jpeg file into Grasshopper, and didn't know what to do next...

thanks in advance!

Grasshopper doesn't support textures at present, so it cannot draw an actual image in the Rhino viewports. You could however create a mesh with coloured vertices that represents the image. This involves an Image sampler and some other bits and pieces in the current version. The next release of GH will have an image import component (along with a few other importers).

I wrote some basic importers (3dm, images, points from text files and GIS/Shape files). If these turn out to be useful I can start adding more importers and exporters. Maybe for Rhino6 it will even be possible to use all the native im/exporters. -- David Rutten david@mcneel.com Poprad, Slovakia

Points, curves and regions.
