ImagXpress® provides the ability to modify TIFF images without loading them into ImagXpress.
 |
The images may be remote or local but may not have an HTTP or FTP address. |
Modify Image Files
Using ImagXpress, the user can make page-level modifications to TIFF files without loading them using the ImagXpress load methods. This enables the user to clean up or reduce the image size prior to loading.
- The CompactFile method removes unused pages from the specified TIFF file.
- The DeletePage and InsertPage methods delete/insert a specified page in the specified TIFF file.
- The NumPages method enables the user to query a multiple page TIFF or DCX file to determine the number of pages in the file. This enables a user to delete or insert multiple pages in a TIFF file, by iterating the page number in the DeletePage and InsertPage methods.
Modify Tags
ImagXpress enables users to set and get tags for TIFF images without loading the image data, using the FileGetTags and FileSetTags methods.
|
If the image data has been loaded into ImagXpress, the FileGetTags and FileSetTags methods do NOT update the current image. Only the image at the specified filename is modified. To modify tags of a loaded image, use the "Tag" methods and properties (e.g. TagData, TagNumber, TagGetDataItem, TagModify). |
