Learning Objectives

This example demonstrates how to enabled and capture the dragging and dropping of files into the application window.

In the code, pay attention to:

• Use of capturing the dragEvent to handle drag related events
• Inspecting information about the drag event using ofDragInfo to determine what file(s) were dragged.
• Use of position on ofDragInfo to determine where on the window the file was dropped.

When an image file is dragged onto the application and then dropped the application:

• captures that event with the dragEvent
• inspects the information about the drag event to find the images that were dropped along with the position of the drop
• load in the image in the position it was dropped.
