photobot.Canvas.layer()
Syntax
canvas.layer(image, x=0, y=0, name="")
Description
Creates a new layer on the canvas from image, which is either the path of an image file (.jpg, .gif, .png) or a copied layer, or a PIL Image object. The image is positioned on the canvas horizontally at x pixels and vertically at y pixels measured from the top left corner. You can supply a name for the layer.
Returns the new layer index. Indices start at 1, this means the first layer is canvas.layers[1], the layer above canvas.layers[2] and so on. The bottom layer is reserved for the transparent background and must remain untouched.
Example
Adds the image file robot.jpg as the top layer of canvas.
photobot = ximport("photobot") canvas = photobot.canvas(100, 100) canvas.layer("images/robot.jpg")
Sets the opacity of the lowest layer in canvas.
canvas.layers[1].opacity(60)
