Hello, I am trying my hand at creating a custom sprite component for use in Grasshopper that will take a Point list (P input) and File Path (F input) and add the image sprite at the P locations. I feel like I am close but struggling to figure out how to use the BitmapDrawList method? Graph Space: …

Hi @michaelvollrath Check this, i use bitmap = System.Drawing.Bitmap.FromFile(F) self.B = rh.Display.DisplayBitmap(bitmap) Because: bitmap = Rhino.Display.DisplayBitmap.Load(F) always freeze Grasshopper [image] sprite.gh (4.7 KB)

[image] anon39580149: Because: bitmap = Rhino.Display.DisplayBitmap.Load(F) always freeze Grasshopper That’s odd, I’ve never had that happen. Might be a security issue if you’re loading from a server maybe? Anywho, I started embedding icons within the literal code of the component itself (i…

Thank you both @anon39580149 and @AndersDeleuran !

Thank you both again! I ended up combining both of your scripts to make a Custom Symbol Display component that can optionally be drawn in the foreground. I think I’m going to eventually hardcode a library of the symbols as the base64 strings but for now and for testing the file path method works w…

Hi @michaelvollrath Veeery interesting aplication, always a pleasure reading good things in rhino forum! Just curious, are you inserting 2 different images to get that result (warning symbol plus text) or is it just one image which contains everything?

I tried, my access parameters are wrong? [image] GH_D_IMG.gh (7.6 KB)

Hi @tom33 , This actually doesn’t seem to be working anymore (at least not the foreground or dynamic sizing) in R8 but it’s possible I bugged the code, haven’t had a chance to look at it… But yes your inputs were incorrect: P=point(s) locations F=file path (without quotes around it) S=size of sp…
