Re: exporting images in RTF from runrev
Hey guys, I've had a wonderful experience creating RTFD files that are visible (images too) in both TextEdit and Pages. TextEdit being the default application, but opening nicely from within Pages. The documents, some as large as 60 MB were created from a brand new TextEdit file into which I pasted text and screen shots I had taken from a Windows app that I was running on XP under Fusion. I don't remember at what point, but I'm pretty sure that after having pasted a shot into TextEdit that, the next time I saved, I was asked if I wanted to save it in RTFD format, to which I said yes. Altogether I have a dozen or more of these files, totally some 700 MB, and they have continued to work beautifully. I recall having copied one of them to paste into a RR field to see if it worked. It did, but I don't recall whether it pasted both text and images in the same operation or not. I'll have to try that out. I just did, and I was unable to paste into a RR field, but probably could have created a new image and pasted into it, but would not have been in the same scrolling path as it is in both TextEdit and Pages. So... TextEdit really impressed me with how it handled this whole operation. Particularly with the size of the files.

What makes it worse is that it doesn't throw an error, it just produces a corrupt result. http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=4026 I really wish RR would kick this one up the attention list. We're starting to rebuild tools in other languages that we already have working in RR, because of the combination of this issue and the fact that since some versions ago, image processing became ludicrously slow. - Ben ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
exporting images in RTF from runrev
Hello,
rtf seems to be a dead end when you look to the new xml docx and openoffice
formats, but of course will live longer than expectable.
As posted some weeks ago under the title function binaryDecode within a
function ... - the following script does basic image export in rtf:
function image2rtf objektname
export image objektname of group inhalt to bilddaten as JPEG
-- for testing: export image 1 to bilddaten as JPEG
get binaryDecode(H*,bilddaten,timage)
put {\rtf{\pict\jpegblip\picwgoal874\pichgoal1121 cr into header
put cr } cr } into footer
put header timage footer into rtf
put rtf into URL binfile:c:/rtftest.rtf -- this works fine
return rtf -- this only works with small jpgs, do not know why
end image2rtf
Some users could not confirm my problems with bigger jpegs in return.
P.S. I have very good results with exporting to HTML and opening in Word 2007.
You must give the width and height of images in the html-Text for word to set
the right rectangle - but thats the same in rtf.
Regards,
Franz Böhmisch

Jan, many thanks - great tutorials, very illuminating.
I have to agree, I was thunderstruck. Jan, a Word export would be
perfect for my current project, but I need to know how to
incorporate images into the rtf file. Do you know how, or do I have
to do my own research? Would sure appreciate any tips you may have.
I'd love to be able to export reports as Word-compatible RTF -
complete with images. I've requested that feature in the quality centre:
http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=4231
The ideal would be if Rev could save the images as RTF directly,
alternatively, if the RTFText could at least contain a reference or
comment to say that an image is present, that would be useful (then
I'd have to roll my own image to RTF code). At the moment, there's no
sign in the RTF at all that there are images in the field.

Re: exporting images in RTF from runrev
Thanks for that, Franz! I've been able to *reference* images on disk with
RTF, but wasn't sure how to *embed* them!
It took your code, abstracted it a bit, and adapted it slightly to accept
optional width, height and format (in case anyone cares if it's JPEG vs PNG)
- watch line wraps:
on mouseUp
put imageToRTF(long id of img 1,,,png) into tRawRTF
ask file Save RTF as:
if it then
writeRTFDoc tRawRTF,it
end if
end mouseUp
on writeRTFDoc pRawRTF,pFileName
put {\rtf pRawRTF cr } into tRTF
if the platform is MacOS then set the fileType to MSWDRTF
put tRTF into url (binfile: pFileName)
put the result into tResult
if tResult then return Error: tResult
end writeRTFDoc
function imageToRTF pImageRef,pOpt_Width,pOpt_Height,pOpt_Format
local tData,tImageBinary,tW,tH
if exists(pImageRef) then
if (pOpt_Format=) or (pOpt_Format is not among the items of
jpeg,png) then put jpeg into tFormat
else put toLower(pOpt_Format) into tFormat
do export pImageRef to tData as tFormat
get binaryDecode(H*,tData,tImageBinary)
if pOpt_Width = then put the width of pImageRef into tW
else put pOpt_Width into tW
if pOpt_Height = then put the height of pImageRef into tH
else put pOpt_Height into tH
put (tW * 1440) into tW -- convert pixels to twips
put (tH * 1440) into tH -- convert pixels to twips
put {\pict\ tFormat blip\picwgoal tW \
\pichgoal tH cr tImageBinary cr \
} into tRetVal
return tRetVal
else
return Error: Image ' pImageRef ' does not exist.
end if
end imageToRTF

I've encountered this - there's a maximum limit to the size of an image
object in Rev - I've successfully gotten to 4000 x 4000 pixels, but if it's
too large you get an error in attempting to import the image into Rev. Not
sure of the exact maximum though...
