Hello,
Okay, answered my own question:
I subclassed ImageMorph, overriding the initialize method with:
initialize
super initialize. self image: (Form fromFileNamed: 'ducky.png').
Now I can create a new DuckMorph. Will Squeak support PNG transparency? I guess I could find that out myself. :)
Cheers, Mike

Hi All,
I'll be perfectly frank: I'm making a simulation of Robotic Rubber Duckies in a swimming pool. Ideally, I'd like to import an image file and have my "duckMorph" wear that image as a suit. I have created a sketchMorph, but I don't know how to programmatically instruct a morph to look like that sketch. I'm not sure I understand the differences between sketchMorph and imageMorph. I also am unsure whether I need to use an image file read/writer, like PNGReadWriter in order to do this. In short, I don't know where to begin.
I'm still in the very early stages of this. At the moment all I want to do is create a morph and tell it to wear my duck-suit :) and then I'm going to work that code into a proper duckMorph class with the appropriate methods to simulate the actual robotic versions.
If someone could just point me in the right direction...
Thanks in advance, Mike
