As pointed out by long-time Friend-of-XV Rick Dyson, the XV 3.10a does an unexpected thing if you crop an image, and then 'pad' it. 3.10a would effectively 'UnCrop' the image first, then pad it. There is a workaround (save and reload the cropped image), but that's every bit as tedious as it sounds. This should do the trick, with any luck. --jhb, 7/9/98 *** xvimage.c.old Fri Jul 10 01:18:07 1998 --- xvimage.c Fri Jul 10 01:21:57 1998 *************** *** 2530,2536 **** rv = 1; ! if ((mode != PAD_LOAD) && (wide == pWIDE && high == pHIGH && opaque==100)) { ErrPopUp("Padding to same size as pic while fully opaque has no effect.", "\nI see"); return 0; --- 2530,2536 ---- rv = 1; ! if ((mode != PAD_LOAD) && (wide == cWIDE && high == cHIGH && opaque==100)) { ErrPopUp("Padding to same size as pic while fully opaque has no effect.", "\nI see"); return 0; *************** *** 2806,2832 **** /* copy 'pic' centered onto pic24. */ ! sx = (wide - pWIDE) / 2; ! sy = (high - pHIGH) / 2; ! for (py = 0; py= 0 && p24y < high) { ! for (px=0; px= 0 && p24x < wide) { p24 = pic24 + (p24y*wide + p24x)*3; if (picType == PIC24) { /* src is PIC24 */ ! pp = pic + (py * pWIDE + px) *3; r = pp[0]; g = pp[1]; b = pp[2]; } else { /* src is PIC8 */ ! pp = pic + (py*pWIDE + px); r = rMap[*pp]; g = gMap[*pp]; b = bMap[*pp]; } --- 2806,2832 ---- /* copy 'pic' centered onto pic24. */ ! sx = (wide - cWIDE) / 2; ! sy = (high - cHIGH) / 2; ! for (py = 0; py= 0 && p24y < high) { ! for (px=0; px= 0 && p24x < wide) { p24 = pic24 + (p24y*wide + p24x)*3; if (picType == PIC24) { /* src is PIC24 */ ! pp = cpic + (py * cWIDE + px) *3; r = pp[0]; g = pp[1]; b = pp[2]; } else { /* src is PIC8 */ ! pp = cpic + (py*cWIDE + px); r = rMap[*pp]; g = gMap[*pp]; b = bMap[*pp]; }
