Syntax

Saving an image in a JPEG file Hide the details

<Result> = dSaveImageJPEG(<Image> , <File name> [, <Quality> [, <Exif tag>]])

<Result>: Boolean

True if the image was saved,
False otherwise. To get more details on the error, use ErrorInfo with the errMessage constant.

<Image>: Name of the Image control or variable

Name of the Image, Bar Code or Web Camera control to be used. Image controls in a report cannot be used.
Name of the Image control to be used.
Name of the Image variable to be used.

<File name>: Character string

Name and full (or relative) path of JPEG file. A UNC path can be used. The file extension is optional.
Caution:
The destination directory must exist in order for the image to be saved.
The existence of the JPEG file is not checked. This file is automatically overwritten if it already exists.

<Quality>: Optional integer

Quality of the image saved. Value between 1 and 100 (80 by default). Lower image quality translates into higher image compression rate and smaller file size.

<Exif tag>: Optional constant (or combination of constants)

Save the Exif tags modified by ImageInfoModify:
imgAddThumbnail Adds a thumbnail into the image file (<File name>).
If there is a thumbnail in the image file displayed in the Image control, this constant is not taken into account.
This constant is not available.
imgGrayScale Used to save the image in black and white ("Grayscale" display mode).
This constant is not available.
imgProgressiveJPEG Saves the image in progressive JPEG format. This format is mainly used for the Web sites. It allows the pages to be loaded faster (the images being loaded and displayed progressively).
This constant is not available.
imgSaveTag Saves the Exif tags.
If there is a thumbnail in the image file displayed in the Image control, a new thumbnail is recalculated.
This constant can be used only if <Image name> is a variable of type Image. The thumbnail will not be recalculated.

By default, the Exif tags are not saved, no operation is performed on the thumbnails.
This parameter is not available.

Saving an image in memory Hide the details

<Result> = dSaveImageJPEG(<Image> , <inMemory> [, <Quality> [, <Exif tag>]])

<Result>: Buffer

Name of the Image, Bar Code or Web Camera control to be used. Image controls in a report cannot be used.

<inMemory>: Constant

inMemory: Constant used to save an image in memory.

<Quality>: Optional integer

Quality of the image saved. Value between 1 and 100 (80 by default). Lower image quality translates into higher image compression rate and smaller file size.

<Exif tag>: Optional constant (or combination of constants)

Save the Exif tags modified by ImageInfoModify:
imgAddThumbnail Adds a thumbnail into the image file (<File name>).
If there is a thumbnail in the image file displayed in the Image control, this constant is not taken into account.
imgProgressiveJPEG Saves the image in progressive JPEG format. This format is mainly used for the Web sites. It allows the pages to be loaded faster (the images being loaded and displayed progressively).
imgSaveTag Saves the Exif tags.
If there is a thumbnail in the image file displayed in the Image control, a new thumbnail is recalculated.

By default, the Exif tags are not saved, no operation is performed on the thumbnails.
This parameter is available only if <Control name> corresponds to the name of an Image control.
