Image File Format .PNM, .PPM, .PGM, .PBM Export Automation Options

 

When the program is driven from an automation script, an options string can be specified in the script that acts as the export options dialogs do in the program. The string consists of comma-separated parameters, which specify the behavior of the various export options.

string

PNM

ColorDepth

 -32, -16, -8, 1, 4, 8, 24, 32

Specifies the color depth to use.

ColorDepth=-32 -- 32 bit greyscale output

ColorDepth=-16 -- 16 bit greyscale output

ColorDepth=-8  -- 8 bit greyscale output

ColorDepth=1 -- 1 bit color indexed output

ColorDepth=4   -- 4 bit color indexed output

ColorDepth=8   -- 8 bit color indexed output

ColorDepth=24  -- 24 bit true color output

ColorDepth=32  -- 32 bit true color with alpha output

ColorReductionMethod

1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Specifies the color reduction method to use.

ColorReductionMethod=1 -- Use the Ordered Dither color reduction method

ColorReductionMethod=2 -- Use the Diffused Dither color reduction method

ColorReductionMethod=3 -- Use the Popularity color reduction method

ColorReductionMethod=4 -- Use the MedianCut555 color reduction method

ColorReductionMethod=5 -- Use the MedianCut888 color reduction method

HDPI

integer

Specifies the number of pixels per horizontal inch.

Height

integer

Specifies the number of pixels tall an output image will be.

KeepAspect

0 or 1

If this is set to 1, for any of the settings Height, Width, HDPI or VDPI you only need to set one option and Voxler will automatically calculate the other parameters in line with the aspect ratio of the input image.

KeepAspect=0 -- Do not retain the aspect ratio

KeepAspect=1 -- Do retain the aspect ratio

ModuleID

integer

Numeric ID of the module to be exported.

 

0=entire viewer window

2=default

VDPI

integer

Specifies the number of pixels per vertical inch.

Width

integer

Specifies the number of pixels wide an output image will be.

 

Example

This example shows how to export an PNM file with the various options.

 

CommandApi.Construct("Export")

CommandApi.Option("GuiEnabled", "False")

CommandApi.Option("ClearOptions", "False")

CommandApi.Option("Filter", "pnm")

CommandApi.Option("Options", "HDPI=96; Height=418; VDPI=96; Width=576")

CommandApi.Option("Path", "C:/Path/To/Export/file.pnm")

CommandApi.Option("PersistOptions", "True")

CommandApi.Option("ModuleId", "0")

CommandApi.Do()
