import-pcolors-rgb 4.0

import-pcolors-rgb filename

Reads an image file, scales it to the same dimensions as the patch grid while maintaining the original aspect ratio of the image, and transfers the resulting pixel colors to the patches. The image is centered in the patch grid. Unlike import-pcolors the exact colors in the original image are retained. The pcolor variable of all the patches will be an RGB list rather than an (approximated) NetLogo color.

The following image file formats are supported: BMP, JPG, GIF, and PNG. If the image format supports transparency (alpha), then all fully transparent pixels will be ignored. (Partially transparent pixels will be treated as opaque.)

Note: This primitive is not compatible with NetLogo Web. If you wish to import patch colors with the same code and the same behavior in both NetLogo and NetLogo Web, see import-a:pcolors-rgb.
