Is it possible to scale an image/texture?

[keck-in-space]

Hello,

I would like to be able to scale an image, but I don't see a way to do this with the API. Is there a way to do this either at load time (dpg.add_static_texture) or at display time (dpg.add_image)? I am loading PNGs, but can only display them at full resolution.

Thank you!

I figured out how to do this. You just need to change the width and height in the add_image call, not in the add_static_texture call. If you scale both height and width by the same factor you'll get the scaling you want.

dpg.add_image("texture_tag", width=int(dpg.get_item_width("texture_tag") * 0.4), height=int(dpg.get_item_height("texture_tag") * 0.4))

Would scale to 40% original size for example.

def add_and_load_image(image_path, parent=None , scale=0.4):
    width, height, channels, data = dpg.load_image(image_path)

    with dpg.texture_registry() as reg_id:
        texture_id = dpg.add_static_texture(width, height, data, parent=reg_id)

    if parent is None:
        return dpg.add_image(texture_id,width=width*scale, height=height*scale)
    else:
        return dpg.add_image(texture_id, parent=parent , width=width*scale, height=height*scale)
