To create an
image
object suitable for drawing on an given pane, use one of
convert-external-image
,
read-and-convert-external-image
,
load-image
,
make-image-from-port
,
make-sub-image
or
load-icon-image
.
Another way is to supply a registered image identifier in some CAPI class that suports images. For example you can specify an
image
in a
capi:image-pinboard-object
. Then, an
image
object is created implicitly when the pinboard object is displayed.
