Name: Type: Description:
BitmapWidth
BitmapHeight
function Returns the width or height, in inches, of a bitmap image resource, at
the specified resolution.
EPSWidth
EPSHeight
function Returns the width or height, in inches, of an Encapsulated PostScript
(EPS) image resource.
InStream...
EndInStream
procedure Ceate an alias for a resource file (image, data file, attachment, etc.). You
can then reference the resource file using the alias instead of the path.
This eliminates the need to repeat a path in more than one place in your
code, and thus makes your code easier to maintain. For example, if you
change the resource, you need only modify the path in the instream()
command, rather than everywhere you reference the original resource.
PDFWidth
PDFHeight
function Returns the width or height, in inches, of a page of a Portable Document
Format (PDF) image resource.
PDFPageCount
function Returns the number of pages in the specified PDF file.
PixelHeight
