Hello there. I am on a mission to figure out why this is not working for me.
What I am attempting to do is have the ability to assign an image to a viewport background as well as remove any image from a specific viewport.
I am having difficulty finding a direct reference to the map assigned to the viewport after it's assigned.
So far I understand that while i have a specific viewport active, i can query its background image like so:
viewport.activeviewport = 1
myBGImage = backgroundImageFilename
The problem is that if i want to map a single viewport's background image using the same syntax, it makes the changes on all 4 viewports.
viewport.activeviewport = 1
backgroundImageFilename = "D:\Dummy_Texture.png"
Which is the same issue if I want to clear a single viewport's image, and not all 4:
viewport.activeviewport = 1
backgroundImageFilename = ""
I have attempted other things like:
myBitmap = bitMapTexture()
myBitmap.fileName = "D:\Dummy_Texture.png"
setAsBackground myBitmap.bitmap
...and I get the same result.
Any ideas? is there any way to reference a specific viewport's background image and replace it in any other way than modifying a global variable?
Thanks!
