This module is 100% compatible with the stock Image2 module of SynthEdit 1.4 with the following additional features:


Alpha Threshold support:

An integer value (0-255) can be specified with the Alpha Min pin (not exposed) to decide which minimum value the alpha channel of a 32 bits png image must have for the click to be effective. Proper setting effectively prevents an image being seized by its shadow. Usually you may want to specify a value of 255 (100% solid picture) unless the picture used - by choice or by mistake - has no 100% solid areas or may present with opacity "holes" in its intended seizable area


Centering:

A rotational center offset with respect to the natural center of the frame can be specified (integer, signed) with the Center Off X,Y pins (not exposed). If set properly, rotating experience with non-centered knob imagery (eg. casting a shadow) will result substantially improved,
By momentarily setting the Show Center bool pin (not exposed) a cross can be displayed to help with positioning the rotational center properly.
Centering only affects rotational animation strips.


Hovering support:

Mouse hovering support is integrated, to spare the usage of an additional Hover Box module. The behaviour is identical to Hover Box, with the exception that the Hover strobe signal will be generated only if the mouse pointer is hovering  a sufficiently solid area (see Alpha Threshold). Hovering positions will be transmitted anyway.
(Please note that hovering is not working in Structure View)


Mouse Down:

Unlike the stock Image2 module, ED Image always responds to mouse clicks (unless disabled) even when a plain static image (no mouse response set) is used


Enabled/Disabled state support:

The Image can be disabled by setting the Enabled pin to false. In this case it will not respond to any user input, and its opacity will be set to the value of the (unexposed) Alpha Disabled pin (0= invisible, 1=100% solid)
