Finding Image Position

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi all,
    Something I am having trouble with and cannot seem to find the answer to is how to find the position on the page where an image is.
    I can "find" the images, and get some information like ImageWidth and ImageHeight but I can't seem to find it's X & Y position on the Page. Is this possible with QuickPDF?
Thanks in advance,
Chandy.

	Hi Chandy! Sorry... But this isn't possible with QuickPDF. With QuickPDF you can get the relevant page and the image dimensions... Directly in the pdf-content/-code you can find additional values for used color-depth and size of the embedded image... But not the exact position. Cheers, Ingo

	Take a look at the following direct access functions, they might be able to help you: DAOpenFile DAGetPageImageList DAGetImageListCount DAGetImageDblProperty The DAGetImageDblProperty function will return the following properties for the specified image: 501 = Horizontal co-ordinate of top-left corner 502 = Vertical co-ordinate of top-left corner 503 = Horizontal co-ordinate of top-right corner 504 = Vertical co-ordinate of top-right corner 505 = Horizontal co-ordinate of bottom-right corner 506 = Vertical co-ordinate of bottom-right corner 507 = Horizontal co-ordinate of bottom-left corner 508 = Vertical co-ordinate of bottom-left corner

	Thanks for the replies guys. DAGetImageDblProperty looks like it will do the trick. Is there a way to do this with the Non-DA Functions? I can use DAGetImageDblProperty for this particular purpose and non-DA for other parts if I'm careful, but as I understand DA and Non-DA don't work together, I just wondered if there is a non-DA way to do this. Thanks in advance, chandy21

	Hi! These functionality is only in the DA-functions. You're right. Don't mix DA- with non-da-functions. Cheers, Ingo
