Good morning, I am trying to display a .tiff image inside my qml application through qml.jl. I’ve seen there’s a way through third party bundles to display such image type. Anyway I can’t figure out how to do it with Julia. is there a way?

Welcome to Julia Discourse.

I am not familiar with QML.jl (or Qt), but README.md explains the basic usage.

Images, i.e., arrays of colors, could be displayed with `display()` (via PNG). Images.jl is a collection of packages related to image processing. You could get an array of colors with `img = load("image.tiff")`.

Also, if you convert the color type to `ARGB32` (e.g., `ARGB32.(img)`), you should be able to use `JuliaCanvas`.

There are many variations of TIFFs, so your TIFF files might not appear as you expect. If you run into problems with reading TIFFs, you may want to create a separate question topic.
