Loading images to be called by the data of a value

@David Boudreau

So, you want your tempOutImgStore$ variable to be:

rotatedimage1

...and then, ...eventually:

rotatedimage123456789[...]360

No? (that might work in Python, not even sure about it working or not in Blitz.) It seems you are trying to add a number, i, to some text, "rotatedimage". It's probably not what you want, right? In any case, it doesn't really matter to the compiler, because you completely throw away the value you assigned to tempOutImgStore$ entirely with your very next line:

I am, like Sauer said, trying to name the handle of the image to the string generated by the function. Also, that is why I overwrite tmpOutImgStore$. So i get

image1

then

image2

and not

 image12

.

@Sauer

angles 0 and 360 are the same.

Thought so.

But this method is not only impossible with Blitz but also would be inefficient if it worked. Because think about it... you'd have 360 variables per image, which would be hard to manage anyway.

Thanks. I could use the function to create an array like you suggested instead.

But I don't know how to do that- that's what this thread is about

...

Oh well. I guess I will just do a loop

dim myimage(360)
myimage = loadimage("image.png")
tempimage = copyimage(myimage)
for i = 0 to 359
myimagerotated(i)= rotateimage(tempImage, i)
next

But if anyone gets anywhere, I am still open to ideas!
