        LPHIGEAR lphIGear
);

Arguments:

Name Type Description
lpszFileName const LPSTR Set to the path/filename of the text file to load.

Supported Raster Image Formats:

This function does not process image pixels.

Sample:

None

Remarks:

Specify the path/filename of the file and which page of the file (if it is a multi-page file) you would like to load. ImageGear then returns a HIGEAR handle to the newly loaded image.

To set the control parameters of the loaded file, use IG_fltr_ctrl_set(). The TXT filter control parameters are listed in the section TXT (ASCII Text).

You may also use IG_load_file() to load an ASCII file.
