Creation method

Two Options for Creating an Image URL Node

1. Using Search List:

• Double left-click in the workspace to open the search list.
• Write the name or associated words for the node: image, convert, url.

2. Select from Menu:

• Navigate to Tools > Image > Image URL.

Description

The Image URL node allows you to load and preview images directly from a web URL. It supports a variety of image formats and includes robust handling for external resources.

Input Ports

| Name | Type | Description | | :------ | :----- | :--------------------------------------------- | | URL | String | The web address of the image you want to load. |

Output Ports

| Name | Type | Description | | :-------- | :---- | :---------------------------------------------------------------- | | Image | Image | The loaded image object, ready for preview or further processing. |

Features

• CORS Fallback: The node automatically attempts to load images with CORS enabled. If the server doesn't support CORS, it will fallback to a "no-cors" mode to ensure the image can still be previewed, although such images might be restricted in certain advanced processing nodes.
• Input Flexibility: Accepts direct URL strings, object-wrapped values, or arrays of URLs.
• Secure Loading: Automatically attempts to upgrade http requests to https when running in a secure environment to prevent mixed-content issues.

Steps

1. Create an Image URL Node.
2. Provide a URL: Connect a string input or type the URL directly into the port.
3. Wait for Loading: The image will appear in the preview once fetched.
4. Connect to Processors: Pass the output image to other nodes like Image GrayScale or Image Sampler.
