Re: Reading POINTs from an image, to draw on another.

Another example. If the user wants to put a smaller greyscale image inside the original image it can be done like this. UseJPEGImageDecoder() Global SourceImage.i,DisplayImage.i,NewImage.i Global FileName.s Global PRed.i,PGreen.i,PBlue.i OpenWindow(0,0,0,1600,560, "ImageCopyCols") CreateIm...

Re: Reading POINTs from an image, to draw on another.

Isnt the DrawingBuffer() for images static? The device context isnt but the buffer should be. Not a question I would ask. Just processing a single image seems quick enough for me. UseJPEGImageDecoder() Global SourceImage.i,DisplayImage.i Global FileName.s Global PRed.i,PGreen.i,PBlue.i OpenWindow(0...

Re: Reading POINTs from an image, to draw on another.

Just another idea. If the second image is simply the first image processed then you do not need to draw the processed image onto a second image just display the processed image. Start/Stop Drawing only called once. Also if the original Image is to be used again so you do not wish to change the origi...

Re: Reading POINTs from an image, to draw on another.

If I understand correctly you want to read one image, process the individual pixels and write them to a second image. I would break it down to two steps. First process the source image colours Second write the source image to the second image. Maybe code like this:- UseJPEGImageDecoder() OpenWindow(...

run terminal command

This always bugs me.

I start the terminal and run this
exiftool -UserComment /Users/dave/Documents/Testexif/482.jpg > /Users/dave/Documents/TestExif.txt"
works perfectly every time.

How can I use Runprogram to run that in the terminal and the close the terminal?

Re: Module to easy use Exiftool in your application

Ah well getting there but run program will not run the terminal again

I run this in the terminal

exiftool -UserComment /Users/dave/Documents/Testexif/482.jpg > /Users/dave/Documents/TestExif.txt

works perfectly every time.


Tried umpteen ways of using run program and none of them work.

Re: Module to easy use Exiftool in your application

Tried that and it certainly gets me to the main window but as soon as I load a jpg it just locks up.

I think I can issue the commands through running terminal and direct any output to a file.

Would be nice if I could get terminal output straight into my programme not to file but will see.


Thanks

Re: Module to easy use Exiftool in your application

Yes there are no .exe on the Mac.

used terminal to list the folder and it reports exiftool as a lib so tried.

Code: Select all

ImportC "/usr/local/bin/exiftool"

EndImport
which compiles ok but where do I go from here?

Re: Module to easy use Exiftool in your application

Old thread but landed here when searching for something to help me edit exif data in jpg files. I have downloaded the ExifTool PKG for the Mac and installed. When I run Exiftool from the terminal it appears to work, I have tried some of the read examples and they work in terminal. Every time I run t...

Re: DatabaseColumnType() Reporting Wrong Type in SQLite

Just thought maybe I should have made an attempt to explain dynamic typing. The column type in Sqlite is really just a label not a type it helps keep compatibility with SQL statements and does not describe the type of the column. You can use just about anything as a column type. The programmer can u...

Re: DatabaseColumnType() Reporting Wrong Type in SQLite

There is one more approach you can use. You can select the typeof column values as below:- SELECT typeof(ColumnName) FROM TableName; However this returns the type of the data stored in the column not the defined column type. Remember Sqlite is dynamically typed not like other databases which are rig...
