Newbie Gallery questions [message #479472]

The Gallery widget is working for me, but I have issues with the item
sizes.

I want to show prescaled images (thumbnails) and I don't want the gallery
to mess with the size of them. They are all in the range 1-160 pixels in
width and in height, but the Gallery widget -- with the default item
renderer -- will scale them all to the same size.

I want them to be shown untouched in a 160x160 region, can this be done?

Here comes the next question. When I set item size to 160 x 160 it is not
the region reserved for the image but for the whole item with caption and
margins.

Can I control the region reserved for the image?

Because if I can I can box the smaller ones inside a 160x160 black image.

Hi Thomas,

This is exactly why Gallery supports pluggable item renderers. In your case, you should just create a new ItemRenderer by extending AbstractItemRenderer.

During redraw, 'draw' is invoked for each item.

public void draw(GC gc, GalleryItem item, int index, int x, int y,
int width, int height) {

you get an untouched area you can paint as you wish, without resizing.

width and height are the one defined with setItemSize(). If you want to draw labels, just add a little room for them.

(You can even contribute your item renderer to Nebula Smile

)

Works like a charm, thanks.

If I get proud of it I will consider :-)
