How to make an image out of the frame

[vivid mauve]

<@&987246399047479336> please have a look, thanks.

[swift meteor]

what do you mean "make a logo png out of the frame"

[bitter minnow]

you see the logo at the top?

[swift meteor]

no

i see a facebook logo, a discord logo, and an instagram logo

then like a noodle peeking in

in the center

[bitter minnow]

yeeah

that one

at the center top

[swift meteor]

are you trying to say that it is out of frame

meaning it is going off the screen

and you dont want it going off the screen?

[bitter minnow]

i wanna see the full picture

[swift meteor]

okay

[bitter minnow]

like the half of the picture just vanishes

logo.png

[swift meteor]

try adjusting its position to be in the middle of the screen

[bitter minnow]

you can see only the bottom of the picture

[swift meteor]

make sure it is all loaded

[bitter minnow]

wait i show you what i want

[swift meteor]

no i understand what you want

[bitter minnow]

you see the fyremc logo?

i want mine like this

[swift meteor]

like the fyre festival?

terrible branding

[bitter minnow]

just see the logo

you can see full

not half like mine

and its on the top

i wanna make mine out of the box too

like half in the box

half is not

you understand now?

I want the logo to stick out of the window halfway, so that half of it is outside the program and half of it is still visible inside.

[swift meteor]

i understood the whole time

[bitter minnow]

like in that

[swift meteor]

again, i know what it means for a thing to be visible

[bitter minnow]

here is the code

can you help?

[swift meteor]

i see the code

my dude i am reading it

you need to understand that debugging code at a distance just reading a file is a lot harder than when you can actually tweak it and see what happens

give me a moment

[bitter minnow]

okay

[swift meteor]

try this

invisibleLayer.setPrefSize(root.getWidth(), root.getHeight() - 400);

actually maybe

iv.setTranslateY(220);

just try both of those independently

show me what it looks like when you do

[bitter minnow]

i did both

[bitter minnow]

i want my logo like this

[swift meteor]

as i have said now three times, i know

[bitter minnow]

ok sorry

i thought you dont understand me, sorry

[swift meteor]

^

[bitter minnow]

ok

what should i do?

[swift meteor]

so okay now try each one of those changes in isolation

[bitter minnow]

ok

[swift meteor]

my guess is that no matter what you do the logo is going to either cover a UI element or be off screen

this is because the buttons don't know about it

so you probably need to move the image into the same "container" as the buttons

but lets see what happens with those first

[bitter minnow]

this is the first one

second one

so the first one changes nothing

like i think you dont have to do something with the position

[swift meteor]

minecraft has gotten so dystopian

[bitter minnow]

what should i do now?

[swift meteor]

maybe we need to evaluate the invisibleLayer bit of code but

how did you write the code for everything thus far?

like you did these things, why did you do them?

[bitter minnow]

I thought that because of the invisiblelayer the entire image would be visible.

but the invisablelayer stays in the box too

like in the root

so what should i do?

i even tried setClip(null);

but it changed nothing

[swift meteor]

what

[bitter minnow]

it means nothing now

[swift meteor]

okay clearly the problem here is some positioning thing

[bitter minnow]

i dont wanna reposition the image

[swift meteor]

i quite literally cannot tell you what to do because the way to figure this out is to experiment with the different layout primitives

[bitter minnow]

i want it there but i want to see the image full

[swift meteor]

and i do not have your codebase

i can guess at stuff and guide you along that experimentation

[swift meteor]

but if you keep telling me what you want and asking "how do I do it" understand that i am not going to be able to just magically tell you

[bitter minnow]

you can tell me why the image cut off?

[swift meteor]

yeah, because it was positioned above the screen

screen coordinates might work differently than you expect

[bitter minnow]

i wanna it above the screen

[swift meteor]

the (0, 0) is usually at the top left corner

not the bottom left

[bitter minnow]

like this

[swift meteor]

so going +100 means going down

-100 means going up

[bitter minnow]

yea but i wanna it above the screen visualy

[bitter minnow]

like this

[swift meteor]

so then tweak the numbers a bit?

[bitter minnow]

you see its above the screen?

[swift meteor]

i am going to bow out before i get pointlessly mad

please stop telling me what you want. i know what you want. i am asking you questions about your thought process when positioning the elements to see if its something fundamental you are missing or to guide you to finding the right layout primitives

someone else will pick this question up soon enough

[bitter minnow]

okay

[faint breach]

I am not experienced with this, but , just to get it out of the way, have you tried changing the alignment values to bring it at the center?
