The picLayer type is used to define all the advanced characteristics of a layer of an image loaded in a WDPic variable. The characteristics of this layer can be defined and changed using different WLanguage properties.
Remark: For more details on the declaration of this type of variable and the use of WLanguage properties, see Declaring a variable.
Example
// Open a source image
MyImage is WDPic
MyImage.FileName = fExeDir() + ["\"] + "Source.png"
// Add a layer containing a rectangle
RectangleLayer is picLayer
RectangleLayer.Name = "Rectangle"
RectangleLayer.Width = 100
RectangleLayer.Height = 100
dRectangle(RectangleLayer, 1, 1, 50, 50, DarkGreen, DarkBlue)
// Rotate layer
dRotation(RectangleLayer, 45, drAdapt)
RectangleLayer.X = nXLayer
RectangleLayer.Y = nYLayer
Add(MyImage.Layer, RectangleLayer)
// Save the result
PicSave(MyImage, fExeDir() + ["\"] + "Result.png")
Remarks

Properties specific to picLayer variables

The following properties can be used to handle a layer of a WDPic image:
Property nameType usedEffect
HeightIntegerLayer height expressed in pixels.
ImageImage associated with layer.
If this property is specified, the Type property will correspond to the typeLayerImage constant.
NameCharacter stringLayer name.
RTFpicRTF variableString in Rich Text Format.
TextpicText variableLayer text. The properties of the picText variable are used to find out and define the options of the text (font, opacity, alignment, etc.).
TypeInteger constantType of layer:
  • typeLayerImage: Image layer. The Image property gets and sets the image associated with the layer.
  • typeLayerRTF: RTF layer. The RTF property gets and sets the content of the layer.
  • typeLayerTexte: Text layer. The Text property gets and sets the text associated with the layer.
VisibleBoolean
  • True if the layer is visible,
  • False if the layer is invisible.
WidthIntegerLayer width expressed in pixels.
XIntegerHorizontal position of layer on the image, expressed in pixels.
YIntegerVertical position of layer on the image, expressed in pixels.
