Picture
A Picture attribute, variable or expression can be any valid image. In general, this includes any picture that can be put on the pasteboard or read from a file.
QodlyScript uses native APIs to encode (write) and decode (read) picture. These implementations provide access to numerous native formats.
QodlyScript supports metadata in pictures. Two commands, setPictureMetadata and getPictureMetadata, let you benefit from metadata in your developments.
Picture Codec IDs
QodlyScript supports natively a set of picture formats. A picture format is defined through a codecID. Several picture management commands can receive a codecID as a parameter.
The following codec IDs are supported:
- .jpg
- .png
- .bmp
- .gif
- .tif
.svg and .pdf are supported in picture attributes or variables but cannot be processed by picture management commands or operators.
