Can you create an image from a jpg file using image(filename)?

Reason is I want to be able to detect size of a sprite based on the arbitrary jpg it’s made from. Thought if I used the jpg to make an image instance, I could use image.width and image.height for the purpose. No?

I think spriteSize(image) is what you’re after.

You can use http.request(), a good example is in the reference manual on the keyboard tabs.

.@UberGoober if you have an image object, then image.width/height is the best way to go. These will give you the logical size of the image (in points) in case there is also a retina version.

@Simeon thanks for chiming in–the question is how to make that image in the first place. Image(filename) doesn’t seem to work.

img = readImage()
