<p>I am interested in testing your image node. Please keep me updated.</p>

<p>It would be a very interesting node, I imagine many possibilities with images as a data source.</p>
<p>It might help in this endeavor to try to look at how the images were implemented in DrawBot (<a href="https://www.drawbot.com/content/images.html">https://www.drawbot.com/content/images.html</a>). The NodeBox shares similar output limitations, at least in older versions of DrawBot.</p></div>Guilherme Vieiratag:support.nodebox.net,2012-11-01:Comment/489667422021-01-13T16:45:25Z2021-01-13T16:45:25ZI am working on an image node. Who's in?<div><p>Alexander, Guilherme,</p>
<p>Thanks for responding! I will email you both the current version of my image node soon and would appreciate it if you could test it out on various images before I release it to the wider community.</p>
<p>DRAWBOT</p>
<p>Thanks also for the link to DrawBot, Guilherme. I took a quick look at it. I have something very similar to their image, imageSize, and imagePixelColor.</p>
<p>But my node and python code is much more limited and humble. I do as little as possible in Python; I just get colors and use a subnetwork to present them as a group of rects that you can then play with in NodeBox. My Python code is very short but, I think, has no dependencies. It should work without you having to install any image libraries or do anything like that.</p>
<p>DrawBot's list of filters is most impressive. I intend to provide a separate node to do some very limited manipulations of the "pixel" rects just to get people started (e.g. convert square pixels to multi-size dots). But in theory you could construct all sorts of fancy filter nodes right in NodeBox (with images of no more than .1 megapixels). For example, you should be able to convert a small pixel group into ASCII art.</p>
<p>This would not be for serious image manipulation (which you can already do in zillions of other apps and then import into NodeBox using my node). It would just be for fun and experimentation - and generative art. Perhaps we could construct and share some filter nodes here on the forum.</p>
<p>If you are really into both DrawBot and NodeBox, it should be possible to combine them by creating custom NodeBox nodes from DrawBot Python source code on their Github site. You would have to install DrawBot and import their library inside your custom NodeBox Python code. (As I said, I didn't want to require any such dependencies.). If that idea interests you, you could study my very simple Python code to see how to pass things like colors and rects back to NodeBox.</p>
<p>I am going to fix a few more bugs and try a few more things. But I'll send you both something to play with soon.</p>

<p>I'm really interested in your image node!<br>
It's exactly what I am looking for.<br>
You always make something beyond imagination.<br>
Hope to see your new works with new nodes soon:)</p>

<p>I just emailed you the beta Image node with some samples and documentation. Please reply ASAP with your first impressions. I hope to release the node to everyone else soon.</p>
<p>John</p></div>johntag:support.nodebox.net,2012-11-01:Comment/489667422021-01-19T05:44:18Z2021-01-19T05:44:18ZI am working on an image node. Who's in?<div><p>UPDATE</p>
<p>I heard from Guilherme that the image node is not working under Windows 10. I think I found the problem but am currently stumped about how to fix it. If there are any Windows experts out there who would like to help, please reply to this thread.</p>
<p>Still waiting to hear from Alexander.</p></div>johntag:support.nodebox.net,2012-11-01:Comment/489667422021-01-19T10:01:15Z2021-01-19T10:01:48ZI am working on an image node. Who's in?<div><p>UPDATE to my UPDATE</p>
<p>I think I found the REAL problem. Image Node should now work under Windows 10 as well as under MacOS. I have sent the updated version of my beta to Guilherme and Alexander and await their confirmation.</p>
<p>Progress!</p>
