How do I place an image for a macro button's tooltip

Post by nirkedar »

I'd like to create a decent tooltip for my macro buttons using HTML. Is it possible to have an image from a table inside this tooltip.

Here's the HTML code:
Spoiler

Code: Select all

. <html>
. . <div width=400>
. . . <table width='100%'>
. . . . <tr>
. . . . . <td style='padding:0px 0px; 'align='left' width='15%'>
. . . . . . <span style='font:bold 11pt Tahoma; color:2C3539; ' >Input:
. . . . . . </span>
. . . . . </td>
. . . . . <td style='padding:0px 0px; 'align='left' width='85%'>
. . . . . . <span style='font:italic 11pt Tahoma; color:2C3539; ' >FullText, ID
. . . . . . </span>
. . . . . </td>
. . . . </tr>
. . . . <tr>
. . . . . <td style='padding:0px 0px; 'align='left' width='15%'>
. . . . . . <span style='font:bold 11pt Tahoma; color:2C3539; ' >Output:
. . . . . . </span>
. . . . . </td>
. . . . . <td style='padding:0px 0px; 'align='left' width='85%'>
. . . . . . <span style='font:italic 11pt Tahoma; color:2C3539; ' >{Text, indexStart, indexEnd}
. . . . . . </span>
. . . . . </td>
. . . . </tr>
. . . </table>
. . . <table width='100%'>
. . . . <tr>
. . . . . <td align='Left'; width='100%'>
. . . . . . <img border=0 src='asset://c11af41f97b48b96f312352b86f77967-250'>
. . . . . . </img>
. . . . . </td>
. . . . </tr>
. . . . <tr>
. . . . . <td style='padding:0px 0px; 'align='left' width='100%'>
. . . . . . <span style='font:italic 11pt Tahoma; color:2C3539; ' >Finds the section within the script and returns an object with the text and start and end positions within the script.<br>Returns null if it could not be found.
. . . . . . </span>
. . . . . </td>
. . . . </tr>
. . . </table>
. . </div>
. </html>

Nope didn't work.
Is it even possible to put an image inside a tooltip?

In the macro button tooltip, yes. This worked for me:

Code: Select all

<html><img src="asset://4a308b74558a3a553af4dc8908f45204" height=50 width=50 /></html>

Pretty sure it is... but the syntax is tricky.

Boy oh boy - does this open up a can of opportunities for other tooltips. I'm so excited.
Thanks a 1000000.

Curious: is there a built in MT command that can retrieve the dimensions (pixel width & height) of my images that I have stored in tables?

There are some new functions, but this only works if on a map. With the new table functions you can drop a bunch of images on a map and run a macro to put the image and image data in to the table. Wiki: getTokenWidth() Wiki: getTokenHeight()

Is there a command that drops table images onto a map?

not directly but its possible:

make sure there is a token on the map, lets say someToken:

tmp = getImage(someToken)
setImage(getTableImg(bla),someToken)
copyToken(someToken)
setImage(tmp,someToken)

i probly got the actual function names wrong so be sure to check them out in the wiki, but that the gest of it. You MUST set the image BEFORE you copy it or it won't work (copytoken resets everything changed AFTER the copy)
