How to show a UserImage "frame" via Serial commands?

[Dave Chambers]

I created a .gci and .dat with Genie; one form contains a UserImage with 3 images (let's call them "frames").
Using the Genie API (via serial), I can do
genie.WriteObject(GENIE_OBJ_USERIMAGES, imgid, imgnum);
to display the desired "frame".

Is it possible to display any frame other than 0 via the Serial interface?
I am able to display "frame 0" via
Display.img_Show(hdl, imgidx);
but don't see a way to cause "frame" 1 to display.

I realize that I'm mixing environments, but I've been able to do just about everything else on this Genie-created .gci, so it's not totally absurd

Is this possible?

Thanks,
-Dave

genie.WriteObject(GENIE_OBJ_USERIMAGES, INDEX, IMG/FRAME);

so:

genie.WriteObject(GENIE_OBJ_USERIMAGES, INDEX, 1);

or are you looking for a Display.img_Show(hdl, imgidx); solution?

Hi Dave,

This is the way you would pick a particular frame from a UserImage. Coolgauge is the example.

Display.img_SetWord(hndl, iCoolgauge1, IMAGE_INDEX, frame) ; // where frame is 0 to 100 (for a displayed -1 to -1)
Display.img_Show(hndl,iCoolgauge1) ;

I hope this helps

That's EXACTLY what I was looking for, and it works perfectly. THANKS!

So what is the difference between the VISI generated Code:

img_SetWord(hndl, iUserimages1, IMAGE_INDEX, 0) ; // where frame is 0 to 0
img_Show(hndl,iUserimages1) ;

What is the difference between Display.img_XXXXXX and img_XXXXX ?

The difference is the Display. command is used in the serial environment with the serial library on an Arduino or 4Duino.
