Drawing 2d image in Window?

Magus_Stragus · Post by **Magus_Stragus** » Thu Sep 11, 2008 4:11 pm

So, I tried to use IGUIImage, and it seems better than draw2DImage, except for something: is there a way to take only a portion of the image file and draw only that portion? I mean, IGUIImage takes a texture to draw, and the texture is taken directly from a image file. I only want to use a portion (a rectangle) of the image file in the IGUIImage. How can I do that?

The answer lies in my original post in this thread (emphasis added)...

So, I tried to do that. I took the CGUIImage files included in the source folder and modified them so I could extract just a portion of the wanted texture. However, now I can't seem to make it work. It's my first time creating (well, modifying) a GUI element, so I could use a little help with that.

I would appreciate any help.
