I would like to put a Background image onto my Audio Plugin

Audio Plugins
1

Hi,

I’m extremely new to C++ and to coding, but I thought that it would be a fun project to try and design a plugin. I have managed to get everything set up and have made a simple slider that has a volume control but isn’t yet controlling volume. I will get to that soon.

I have created an image in Photoshop in the correct dimensions as my Audio plugin, but I would like to know how to set that image as the background image to the plugin.

I have put the image into a folder in my Projucer and it has made the BinaryData.h and BinaryData.cpp in JUCE Library Code so I know it is in the project file, but my trouble comes with my lack of C++ knowledge as to where to put this code. The plugin I am trying to make is an Audio Plugin (VST3).

Any help is really appreciated!

Thank you,
Ben

Hi, you can override the paint() method of your plugin editor class and use drawImageAt:

    g.drawImageAt( ImageCache::getFromMemory( BinaryData::BG_png, BinaryData::BG_pngSize ), 0, 0 );
