<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Greetings,</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">We are having difficulty creating a bitmap image in a canvas using GS.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">We are using erl5.4.12 for both Linux and Windows. We are able to load</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">a gif image into a canvas</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">W=gs:create(window,gs:start(),[{width,400},{height,400}]),</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">C=gs:create(canvas,W,[{width,380},{height,380}]),</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">P=gs:create(image,C,[{load_gif,"junk.gif"}]),</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">gs:config(W,{map,true}).</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">brings up a window with a canvas containing junk.gif. No problem. But,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">when we do the same except with the {bitmap,"junk.bmp"} option instead</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">of the {load_gif,"junk.gif"} as below</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">W=gs:create(window,gs:start(),[{width,400},{height,400}]),</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">C=gs:create(canvas,W,[{width,380},{height,380}]),</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">P=gs:create(image,C,[{bitmap,"junk.bmp"}]),</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">gs:config(W,{map,true}).</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">We've tried enlarging the window/canvas sizes to ensure that the bitmaps</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">fit but that doesn't seem to make a difference.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I spent some time looking through the archives for this list but the search</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">seems to be broken, so community help seemed like a better way to go.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Internet searches for -- erlang gs image -- or -- erlang gs bitmap -- didn't</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">seem to turn up much either. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thanks,</FONT>
