Load a jpg into a server module from assets, possible?

[frvi2]

Hi

In my app I create a matplotlib plot which works nicely in Anvil . I would like to add a logo to the plot (using ax.imshow(im, ...)), which is a small jpg file. The jpg file should be stored in the Anvil app.

I thought of storing the jpg file in the theme folder (uploaded into assets) such that I could access it from my server module using:

im = matplotlib.image.imread('_/theme/logo.png')

However, this does not work .

Any idea how I could manage the access to the jpg file?

regards,

Vinz

Hello,

Please see this post which details getting at the assets (or instead storing the file in DataTables):

Accessing .txt asset from client module

Hi there, and welcome to the forum! You can get the contents of an asset as a Python string by fetching it as URLMedia. Here’s an example: url = anvil.server.get_app_origin() + "/_/theme/my_file.txt" file_contents = URLMedia(url).get_bytes() But if you want to store files for use in your app, I’d recommend using a Data Table with a Media column in it. Let’s say I have this table in my app: [image] Now I can fetch the contents of that file like this: contents = app_tables.files.get(name='m…

Hi @alcampopiano

Thanks for directing me to this post!

Hi

The following lines did the trick with the matplotlib graph:

contents =anvil.server.get_app_origin() + "/_/theme/logo_small.png"
im = plt.imread(contents, format='png')
fig.figimage(im, xo=3950,yo=360,resize=False)

I had problems doing the same with the image stored in a Data Table. But I am actually happy with the solution I have now.

Kind regards,
