Deprecated. The UI service was deprecated on December 11, 2014. To create user interfaces, use the HTML service instead.
A widget that displays the image at a given URL.
The image can be in 'unclipped' mode (the default) or 'clipped' mode. In clipped mode, a viewport is overlaid on top of the image so that a subset of the image will be displayed. In unclipped mode, there is no viewport - the entire image will be visible. Whether an image is in clipped or unclipped mode depends on how the image is constructed, and how it is transformed after construction. Methods will operate differently depending on the mode that the image is in. These differences are detailed in the documentation for each method.
Here is an example of how to use this widget:
function doGet() {
var app = UiApp.createApplication();
// The very first Google Doodle!
app.add(app.createImage("http://www.google.com/logos/googleburn.jpg"));
// Just the man in the middle
app.add(app.createImage("http://www.google.com/logos/googleburn.jpg", 118, 0, 50, 106));
return app;
}
Due to browser-specific HTML constructions needed to achieve the clipping effect, certain CSS attributes, such as padding and background, may not work as expected when an image is in clipped mode. These limitations can usually be easily worked around by encapsulating the image in a container widget that can itself be styled.
Internally, UiApp widgets are built on top of the Google Web Toolkit, and it can sometimes be helpful to look at the GWT documentation directly. You can find the Image documentation here.

addClickHandler(handler)
addClickHandler(handler)
Deprecated. This function is deprecated and should not be used in new scripts.
Add a handler for click events.
Note that you can have multiple handlers for the same event on the same widget. They will be
called in the order that they were added to the widget, although
s may
appear to happen simultaneously.
ServerHandler
The handler passes back some information to the server about what happened. This information can be accessed as follows:
function doGet() {
var app = UiApp.createApplication();
var button = app.createButton("a button");
var handler = app.createServerHandler("handlerFunction");
button.addClickHandler(handler);
app.add(button);
return app;
}
function handlerFunction(eventInfo) {
var parameter = eventInfo.parameter;
// the type of event, in this case "click".
var eventType = parameter.eventType;
// the id of the widget that fired this event.
var source = parameter.source;
// mouse x and y position relative to the widget that fired the event.
var x = parameter.x;
var y = parameter.y;
// mouse x and y position within the browser window's client area.
var clientX = parameter.clientX;
var clientY = parameter.clientY;
// mouse x and y position within the user's display.
var screenX = parameter.screenX;
var screenY = parameter.screenY;

left | Integer | the the horizontal coordinate of the upper-left vertex of the visibility rectangle, in pixels. |
top | Integer | the the vertical coordinate of the upper-left vertex of the visibility rectangle, in pixels. |
