showbitmap('sunset',300,0,0)

Example 3

This example prints either an image, or, if the image cannot be found, the pathname to the image.

define( &image_paths, directory, 'c:\\images\\*.JPG' )

define( &i, integer, 1 )

if( resourcetype( &image_paths[&i] ) <> 0 )

showbitmap( &image_paths[&i], 300, 0, 0)

crlf( bitmapheight( &image_paths[&i] ) )

elseif()

show( &image_paths[&i] )

crlf( 0.16 )

endif()

ShowEPS (procedure)

Displays an EPS image resource.

Syntax

showeps( resname, width, height )

Argument

resname

String value containing either the name of the EPS resource within the document, or the path to an EPS file .

width, height

Measure values specifying the width/height, in inches, the EPS occupies when it displays. Specifying a value of zero for one but

not both of the two dimensions scales the EPS to fit the non-zero dimension. Specifying both a width and a height scales the

EPS to the best fit possible with that width and height, while maintaining its aspect ratio. Specifying both a width and a height of

zero displays the EPS at its default resolution.

Code Sample Example

This example displays the EPS image ‘my_eps’, scaling it as necessary to fit a width of 4.5 inches.
