Example (Python):

from libopensesame import widgets
form = widgets.form(self.experiment)
# The full path to the image needs to be provided.
# self.experiment.get_file() can be used to retrieve the full path
# to an image in the file pool.
image_button = widgets.image_button(form,
        path=self.experiment.get_file('5.png'), var='response')
form.set_widget(image_button, (0,0))
form._exec()
