Image from hard drive [message #125967]

Hello.

I want to display a generated image in my RAP application.

The code I am using now does not work.

Label chart = new Label(p, SWT.NONE);
Image image = Graphics.getImage("C:\\Test.png");
chart.setImage(image);

But if I import the image to the project in Eclipse, then I can display
the image in my application.

However since I will be generating a lot of images this can not be done,
how should I workaround this issue?

What I want is to be able to display images directly from a specific
path at the servers hard drive.

Hi Erik,

as javadoc of getImage already states: the images need to be on the
classpath of the application.
Alternativly you can use the getImage(String, InputStream) factory
method to load images from an input stream.

Cheers
Benny

Hi Erik,
actually the image must be in the application class path. There is one
more possibility to load the image from an input stream - see
Graphics#getImage( String, InputStream ).
Best,
Ivan

If you create an Image using an InputStream, you should know, that this
InputStream will be written by the rap-image-handling to an image-file on
your hard-drive. This way rap can link to this image. You will have the
same image file twice on hd. You dont have to write an image file if you
want use an generated image. Instead you can just use the
createImage(String, InputStream) method. But if the number of generated
file could be very much, you should know that there is no way to delete
this rap generated image files...
