Hi I’m trying to load in an image using ui.imageView then setting the alpha to 0.0 and then using ui.animate to alter that alpha to a non zero value. I can’t get this to gradually fade however - the alpha just jumps after the specified time.
What am I doing wrong here? This simple solution has worked fine for me previously for buttons etc.
I’m going for a gradually blending slideshow effect.
@rb try this
import ui
iv = ui.ImageView()
iv.frame = (0,0,400,400)
v = ui.View()
v.frame = iv.frame
v.background_color = (1,1,1,0)
iv.add_subview(v)
iv.present('sheet')
iv.image = ui.Image.named('test:Peppers')
def anim():
v.background_color = (1,1,1,1)
ui.animate(anim,5)
Thankyou - that’s masking an image with a colour and altering the alpha of the colour - isnt there a way to gradually alter an imageViews alpha over time?
@rb try
import ui
from objc_util import *
iv = ui.ImageView()
iv.frame = (0,0,400,400)
ObjCInstance(iv).alpha = 0
iv.present('sheet')
iv.image = ui.Image.named('test:Peppers')
def anim():
ObjCInstance(iv).alpha = 1
ui.animate(anim,5)
Thanks that’s exactly what I’m after!
@rb, if you do a lot of little animations, I will once again plug the scripter lib. You can pip install it.
