At runtime, it is now possible to read a number of picture file formats into an image region.
The supported file types are:
.JPG |
Joint Picture Expert Group |
.ICO |
ICON |
.BMP |
Bitmaps (both 8bit and 24bit colour depth) |
.GIF |
Graphical Interchange Format |
Any of the above formats can be read into an image region using the 'read file into' statement. The ability to read 2 colour PCX files has been superseded by this enhancement. Please contact the ESL Help Desk, if your application still needs to read 2 colour PCX files into image regions at runtime.
Note: The compile time support has not been changed, so only 8 bit Bitmaps and 2 colour PCX files can be compiled into an Image Region. Due to the change in supported features, the ability to scale images to match the size of the image region has been lost. If your application requires this feature, it is recommended you contact the Help Desk before migrating to this version.
