SELECT

SELECT

Selects the image identifier to be used in other commands

Syntax

Example

Syntax

rc=IMGOP(task-id,'SELECT'<,image-id>);

contains the identifier of the image to select. The default is 1. The image-id variable must be a number between 1 and 999, inclusive. Using lower sequential numbers (under 32) is more efficient.

The main purpose of the SELECT command is to enable you to work with more than one image. The command specifies the image identifier to be used in all subsequent commands until another SELECT command is issued.

Only the COPY, DESTROY, and UNPASTE commands can act on either the currently selected image or on a specified image identifier.

Display two images at once:

rc=imgop(task-id,'SELECT',1);
rc=imgop(task-id,'READ_PASTE',1,1,path1);
rc=imgop(task-id,'SELECT',2);
rc=imgop(task-id,'READ_PASTE',200,200,path2);
