Optical Character Recognition
.
ODBC An acronym for
Open Data Base Connectivity.
OmniForm uses an
ODBC data source, such as FoxPro, to import and export information
to and from a database. Database drivers are installed during
OmniForm installation.
OLE See
Object Linking and Embedding
.
open To retrieve a file from storage and load it into the computer’s
working memory (RAM). Files must be open in order to work with
them.
operator A symbol used to represent mathematical, comparison,
logical, or text operations to be performed within a calculation. Place
operators between fields in a calculation. Place the
Addition
(+)
operator between two fields in a calculation, for example, so that
OmniForm adds numbers in those two fields together.
optical character recognition (OCR) The technology used to
automatically transfer printed text into a computer so that the text can
be edited and used without retyping. OmniForm’s Logical Form
Recognition technology incorporates OCR.
original form A form that retains both graphics and its original look
during import. It has fillable fields but no editable text. Use the original
form option when you want to fill a form and have it resemble the
original, but do not need to do any major editing.
paint order In OmniForm, the order in which objects are painted. The
way an object is painted is determined by selecting background,
border, and fill line colors for it and for any cells, elements, or objects
within that object.
parenthesis In OmniForm, an element used to enclose all elements of a
function. Parentheses look like this: ( )
path The full name by which an operating system identifies a file. This
is a sequence of names, each preceded by a slash, that specifies the path
— from volume directory to file — by which the operating system
locates a file. For example: c:\worddocs\memos\report
PCX A graphic file format produced by some scanners.
peripheral Something that is at or outside the boundaries of the
computer itself either physically (as a peripheral device) or logically
(as a peripheral card).
pixel Short for picture element. A point (dot) on the graphics screen.
