Setting a background image for an experiment

Coding
1

Hello all,
Is there any way to set the background of an experiment to a given image? I’m trying to draw stimuli on top of the image, but the image itself gets redrawn throughout the experiment. As a result, there are periods where it totally covers the other stimuli. Searching google/psychopy documentation has yielded nothing.

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Have you put the image component at the top of the routines?

One option is to have it as a component in the first routine and then put image.setAutoDraw(True) in Begin Routine of the second routine so you don’t have to add it to every routine manually.

I’ve done this for my interactive fiction experiment.
