You can do it (I have done it) but there's no fltk mechanism to support it directly. Also, before settling on jpeg, try your images in png format too - for small images (icons etc.) or images with large areas of flat colour, I find png is often more efficient than jpeg, and has the advantage of being lossless and not introducing compression artefacts. What you need is some sort of "resource compiler" to borrow a MS term - basically to convert the png files into binary blobs you can link into your code. We wrote our own but I'm sure there must be better ways to do it. Basically it stored the data as arrays in memory and returned a char* we could reference extern to point at the data. Both libpng and libjpeg can be told to read from memory rather than from a file (but you need to do this by hand, I don't think the fltk image wrapper functions support this.) Anyway, you read in the data then use that to fill in your image. Now, as I'm typing this, I'm getting a bit of déjà vu - I'm pretty sure someone else was asking about this fairly recently, and perhaps even had a working solution. Certainly worth trawling the archives, maybe even look at the STR's in case they posted any patches to support this... -- Ian SELEX Galileo Ltd Registered Office: Sigma House, Christopher Martin Road, Basildon, Essex SS14 3EL A company registered in England & Wales.
