I recently started using OF and I’m starting to get a grasp of the basics. I’m currently working on a project and I want to have images act as buttons. is this possible? If so, how do I do this.
Need help with mouse stuff

Hi, using a mod to the code I posted here, Rectangular Button
in ofApp.h
class ofApp: public ofBaseApp{
//... what ever else you might have in this class
ofRectangle myRect;
ofImage img;
};
in ofApp.cpp
void ofApp::setup(){
//leave what ever else you have here.
//set the position of your rectangle. you can change this at any point during the apps lifetime.
img.load("someImage.png"); //just load whichever image you want to use.
myRect.set(100,100, img.getWidth(), img.getHeight()); // x, y, width, height. we will make the button the same size as the image.
}
void ofApp::draw(){
// leave whatever else you are drawing
ofSetColor(255);// if you dont set the color to white the image might get drawn with the wrong color.
img.draw(myRect);
}
void ofApp::mousePressed(int x, int y, int button){
if( myRect.inside(x,y)){
//the button got clicked. do something
}
}
