IMAGESCAN

SUNDBSYS Only

The IMAGESCAN instruction scans graphics pictures and documents on the scanner. The instruction uses the following format:

[label]

IMAGESCAN

{controls}

Where:

label

controls

Required. A list of IMAGESCAN List Controls and character variables that contain the name of an image file that is displayed.

Flags Affected: NONE

Note the following:

Each item in {controls} is separated by commas from the preceding item. The items may be continued to the next line by following the last item on a line with a colon instead of a comma.
The name of the image file is taken from the Logical String of the character variable starting. At no time is the entire image file contained in memory.
All IMAGESCAN List Controls specified before a character variable control the scan of the specified image. If there are additional list controls after that image, they control the scan of the next specified image, etc. Any list controls not changed from one character variable to the next remain in effect.
The variable or literal for the name of the image to scan is required. The other default controls are as noted in the following section.
The currently supported scanners are the HP ScanJet. Any other scanner that correctly emulates the ScanJet should work also. Please check the latest release notes for any other scanners that might be supported.
The scanned image is placed into a PCX formatted file. Multiple pages are placed in separate PCX files and not into a DCX multi-page file.
This addon was for SUNDBSYS only and is now obsolete.
