Hi Frank,
How can I take binary image data stored in a variable (obtained programmatically,
usually from a database query) and display it in an image field without first storing
it to a file? I can't seem to find any information on this.
I tried this, but it doesn't seem to work:
set the fileName of image "Logo" to empty set the imageData of image "Logo" to an_obtained_value
when using "the imagedata" you have to make sure that the "target" image has EXACTLY
the same dimensions as the "source" image, or you might expereince ugly results...
But you can:
... put a_var_with_binary_data into img 1 ...
and it will resize to the correct dimensions :-)
It's also important to know that imageData and the content of an image (its text property) aren't in the same format.
The imageData is an invariant format that provides the RGB data for each pixel. The text of the image is the image's data in whatever format - PNG, GIF, JPEG, or whatever format the image is encoded in.
Normally, if you get the data from some other source, it will be in PNG, GIF, etc., so you'll use a statement like
put myImageData into image "My Image"
Only if you're modifying the image data yourself do you use the imageData, usually.
