Draw image?

[Hugos]

What is the difference between "guiCreateStaticImage" and "dxDrawImage." For example, I draw panel and buttons using images. What 's best to use?

guiCreateStaticImage makes a CEGUI element.

dxDrawImage draws an image with the lifetime of a frame. You have to call dx functions on every frame.

Well. Can you tell me more about how to make the dimensions of the picture "guiCreateStaticImage" relative?

I have an image with dimensions 400x530, I set "width" - y/2.7, how do I do to have "height" exhibited automatically?
P.S: x, y = guiGetScreenSize()

If you set relative to true, then you have to provide values from 0.0 to 1.0 (think of them as percentages 0-100 of the parent element). So the first element you draw is relative to the parent which is the screen, so the first element is relative to the screen. The second element as the child (part) of the first is relative to the first one. That's all. That applies to all CEGUI elements, including staticImage.
