ImageInfoList (Function)

In french: ImageInfoListe

Returns the list of Exif tags available for the image used.

Remarks:

The Exif (EXchangeable Image File) information is included in the image file. This standard defines a set of markers for storing a wide range of image-related information: date, width, orientation, camera model, shutter speed, subject distance, exposure time, etc.
To handle the Exif tags of an image, use the Exif property of Image variables. This property can be used on Android applications.

Example

ListeMarqueur is string 
MonMarqueur is int 
i is int = 1 
// Récupération des marqueurs disponibles pour 
// l'image JPEG affichée dans le champ Image "IMG_MonChampImage" 
ListeMarqueur = ImageInfoList(IMG_MonChampImage) 
WHILE ExtractString(ListeMarqueur, i, CR) <> EOT 
	// Récupération de chaque marqueur 
	MonMarqueur = ExtractString(ListeMarqueur, i, CR) 
	// Ajout du marqueur et de sa valeur dans la table TABLE_MaTable 
	TableAddLine(TABLE_MaTable, MonMarqueur, ... 
			ImageInfoValue(IMG_MonChampImage, MonMarqueur)) 
	i ++ 
END

Syntax

<Result> = ImageInfoList(<Image>)

<Result>: Character string
