I need to set an image to transparent, but I don't want to make an entire class out of it. Here's my entire program. See if you can work it out. I'll bold the line of code that I want to contain the transparency value. It's in the "character_move.py"

The code will not work along, unless you have all my pictures, sounds, and save all my modules correctly...and have pygame.

Cerulean · Apr 6th, 2005, 2:48 PM

Wow, don't think you needed to post all of that.
Could you clarify: You want the image to be 'transparent'. By that do you mean that you want the image to have transparent parts (so in parts you can see through to the background), or do you mean you want the whole image to be fully transparent (so.. no image)?

Sane · Apr 6th, 2005, 3:47 PM

lol, if I wanted the function of no image, I'd just add an argument to disclude the image. I want white to be transparent. And I posted the whole thing so you could see when the functions come from.

It's able to be done if you make it into a class, then make the def __init(self): function yield a load image pygame function in which you can add the argument for a transparent color code. I tried adding an extra argument for color code in the one I have now, but it doesn't accept it. I just want to know if there is an easier way then making a game object out of it.

Cerulean · Apr 6th, 2005, 7:56 PM

Well uh.. IIRC pygame already does the whole transparency thing for you if you use a PNG?
Just load the transparent/semi-transparent PNG and blit it straight on.

And also... you say you can make this work if you "make a class out of it" - you haven't clarified on _why_ exactly.

If i'm way off just say so

Sane · Apr 6th, 2005, 9:33 PM

What's IIRC pygame?

And look at the title_screen.py up in the first post. There are like 4 classes that all share similar code right off the bat.

self.image, self.rect = load_image('logo_jdi.bmp')

Can be transparent by:

self.image, self.rect = load_image('logo_jdi.bmp', -1)

But I try that it when it's not inside a class:

char_draw = pygame.image.load(pic_load)

--> char_draw = pygame.image.load(pic_load, -1)

And it doesn't recognize the argument, because it's a whole different function meant to just display a picture, and not use it as a game object.

Cerulean · Apr 7th, 2005, 4:34 AM

IIRC == If I Recall Correctly.

I see. You can load the image and make all white regions transparent by passing -1 to this `load_image` function, which returns the image and a rectangle representing the size, but you don't want that. You want whatever is returned by pygame.image.load.
Like I said, I think it will "just work" if you use a PNG instead of a BMP - PNG's have native support for transparency and semi-transparency. Open up the bmp file in your favourite image editor with support for drawing transparent pixels (the GIMP, Photoshop, Kolourpaint) and replace all the white pixels with transparent pixels. Just save it as a png file and then load that.

Good luck!

I want white to be transparent. And I posted the whole thing so you could see when the functions come from. It's able to be done if you make it into a class, then make the def __init(self): function yield a load image pygame function in which you can add the argument for a transparent color code. I tried adding an extra argument for color code in the one I have now, but it doesn't accept it. I just want to know if there is an easier way then making a game object out of it.

Could you clarify: You want the image to be 'transparent'. By that do you mean that you want the image to have transparent parts (so in parts you can see through to the background), or do you mean you want the whole image to be fully transparent (so.. no image)?

Cerulean Professional Programmer Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: London, England Posts: 459 Rep Power: 4	Well uh.. IIRC pygame already does the whole transparency thing for you if you use a PNG? Just load the transparent/semi-transparent PNG and blit it straight on. And also... you say you can make this work if you "make a class out of it" - you haven't clarified on _why_ exactly. If i'm way off just say so

Sane Programming Guru Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Waterloo, Ontario Posts: 1,885 Rep Power: 5	What's IIRC pygame? And look at the title_screen.py up in the first post. There are like 4 classes that all share similar code right off the bat. self.image, self.rect = load_image('logo_jdi.bmp') Can be transparent by: self.image, self.rect = load_image('logo_jdi.bmp', -1) But I try that it when it's not inside a class: char_draw = pygame.image.load(pic_load) --> char_draw = pygame.image.load(pic_load, -1) And it doesn't recognize the argument, because it's a whole different function meant to just display a picture, and not use it as a game object.

Cerulean Professional Programmer Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: London, England Posts: 459 Rep Power: 4	IIRC == If I Recall Correctly. I see. You can load the image and make all white regions transparent by passing -1 to this `load_image` function, which returns the image and a rectangle representing the size, but you don't want that. You want whatever is returned by pygame.image.load. Like I said, I think it will "just work" if you use a PNG instead of a BMP - PNG's have native support for transparency and semi-transparency. Open up the bmp file in your favourite image editor with support for drawing transparent pixels (the GIMP, Photoshop, Kolourpaint) and replace all the white pixels with transparent pixels. Just save it as a png file and then load that. Good luck!
