Add support for including images

[ognjen-petrovic]

Hi,

I have not had such a plan. I do not know how complicated would that be, do you have the idea?

[omkarap55]

Actually, I do not have any idea about the level of complexity of this feature.
I have seen this feature in LibreCAD. Maybe this could be useful reference for you.
Let me know your thoughts.

Hi,

After some research the js-dxf need a dynamic API for managing sections.
In order to implement an IMAGE entity we need tow objects in OBJECTS section IMAGEDEF and IMAGEDEF_REACTOR and I think we need a class in CLASSES section.
I am curently aiming to implementig this feature but I am strugling with DXF reference, also finding a good algorithm for the current api.

I'm also very intersted in being able to add raster images!

hi, I see that you added image support for your TypeScript library. Can we add the same here for js-dxf?
I was hoping that js-dxf supports hatch. Without hatch support, can image be used to tiled in a polygon?

Hi,
@ognjen-petrovic said to keep js-dxf simple as possible so implementing Image entity is a bit tricky because needs objects to be implemented.

I am working on my lib so the next version support as many features as possible but I am struggling with time(I am not free) and the dxf spec.
And about hatch I will see if can implement it

thanks very much! Hatch is a very vital part of DXF or DWG files, so adding it to js-dxf will be a great step ahead. Thank you again for the quick reply.

Hi,

The HATCH, IMAGE, INSERT and BLOCKS are implemented in my lib, and I published a pre-release see NPM or Github.
For more informations see Documantation.

And I want to say sorry I can't implent them in js-dxf because focusing in tow libs is hard for me, I will add features that are easy to implement.

Thank you.
