NSImageMBS.imageWithSymbolConfiguration(configuration as NSImageSymbolConfigurationMBS) as NSImageMBS

Var config As NSImageSymbolConfigurationMBS = NSImageSymbolConfigurationMBS.configurationWithPointSize(40, 0)
Var n As NSImageMBS = NSImageMBS.imageWithSystemSymbolName("trash")
Var o As NSImageMBS = n.imageWithSymbolConfiguration(config)

Backdrop = o.CopyPictureWithAlpha

NSImageMBS.imageWithTintColor(tintColor as NSColorMBS) as NSImageMBS

Input image should be grayscale.

NSImageMBS.initWithContentsOfURL(file as folderitem) as boolean

Returns true on success and false on failure.

See also:

• initWithContentsOfURL(url as string) as boolean

NSImageMBS.initWithContentsOfURL(url as string) as boolean

Returns true on success and false on failure.

See also:

• initWithContentsOfURL(file as folderitem) as boolean

NSImageMBS.initWithData(data as Memoryblock) as boolean

Returns true on success and false on failure.

NSImageMBS.initWithDataIgnoringOrientation(data as Memoryblock) as boolean

An initialized NSImage instance, or nil if the method cannot create an image representation from the contents of the specified data object.
Available in Mac OS X v10.6 and later.

NSImageMBS.initWithIconRef(IconHandle as Integer) as boolean

IconHandle: A reference to a Carbon icon resource (IconRef).

Creates one or more bitmap image representations, one for each size icon contained in the IconRef data structure. This initialization method automatically retains the data in the iconRef parameter and loads the bitmaps from that data file lazily.
Available in Mac OS X v10.5 and later.

NSImageMBS.initWithPasteboard as boolean

The specified pasteboard should contain a type supported by one of the registered NSImageRep subclasses. Table 1 lists the default pasteboard types and file extensions for several NSImageRep subclasses.

NSImageMBS.initWithPicture(img as picture, mask as picture = nil) as boolean

Var img as new NSImageMBS
if img.initWithPicture(pict, pict.mask) then
  MsgBox "OK"
end if

Optional you can pass a picture with the mask. It is valid to use the mask property of the image for the second parameter.

With 11.3 plugins we are deprecating to pass a mask. The plugin prefers to simply take the mask or alpha channel of the picture itself.

On success the image is valid and the handle is not zero.

NSImageMBS.initWithSize(width as Double, height as Double) as boolean

Returns true on success and false on failure.
