[Maya-Python] Draw Image new maya API, viewport 2.0

[Dilen Shah]

Hey guys,

I am trying to draw an image in viewport 2.0 but can't seem to find any
information on it.

Before in M3dView ,

view = OpenMayaUI.M3dView().active3dView()
image = OpenMaya.MImage()
image.readFromFile(IMAGEPATH)

view.writeColorBuffer(image, x, y)

This used to work perfectly and still does in legacy viewport code, but in
viewport 2.0 I can't seem to get it as this method is obselete now.

And in the autodesk reference it says: Use MHWRender::MQuadRender
<http://help.autodesk.com/cloudhelp/2016/ENU/Maya-SDK/cpp_ref/class_m_h_w_render_1_1_m_quad_render.html> operation
inside MHWRender::MRenderOverride
<http://help.autodesk.com/cloudhelp/2016/ENU/Maya-SDK/cpp_ref/class_m_h_w_render_1_1_m_render_override.html>
instead
I can't seem to understand how I can do it using this. Please let me know
how this can be solved.

Thanks in advance.

Would be nice to have a follow up on that!
