The
PIXCI® TWAIN Sourcery
allows using XCAP, in conjunction with the ''XCAP Sourcery'' TWAIN driver, as a component of a
''smart'' TWAIN Source, allowing other applications to capture images from the PIXCI® imaging board, while XCAP provides
imaging board, camera controls, and, optionally, image preprocessing.
[7]
(The XCAP-Lite version does not provide image
preprocessing). The
PIXCI® TWAIN Sourcery
should not be confused with
TWAIN New Acquire
; the former allows XCAP to provide
image data to other, TWAIN compliant applications; the latter allows XCAP to accept image data from other TWAIN compliant
sources. The
TWAIN New Acquire
should never be used to attempt to acquire image data from the
PIXCI® TWAIN Sourcery
!
The
PIXCI® Image-Pro Sourcery
allows using XCAP, in conjunction with the ''XCAP Sourcery'' Image-Pro driver, as a component
of a ''smart'' video source, allowing Image-Pro to capture images from the PIXCI® imaging board, while XCAP provides imaging
board, camera controls, and, optionally, image preprocessing.

5.2. The Image Viewer Window
Each image buffer (sequence), or frame buffer (sequence), is displayed in an image viewer window, which is the focus of activity
for examining, processing, or analyzing that image buffer (sequence). The image viewer window provides a menu bar with
File
,
View
,
Examine
,
Modify
,
Measure
,
Draw
,
AOI
, and
Help
features. The image viewer window associated with the PIXCI imaging
board's frame buffer(s) also provides a
Capture
feature.
5.2.1. Image Viewer - File
The image viewer window's
File
allows saving, loading, or printing the image, shows information about the image's dimensions,
pixel depth and color space, and allows closing the image viewer window.
The
Load Image
and
Save Image
allow saving or loading the image in a variety of file formats. The
Load Image
, unlike the
Load New
Image
described above, loads an image file into the current image buffer, resizing and/or color converting to fit the image buffer's
existing dimensions, pixel depth, and color space. The
Load Image
can also load images directly from an Internet URL. The
XCAP-Lite version does not support loading images directly from an Internet URL.
For image viewer windows associated with an image buffer sequence, the
Save Image Sequence
and
Load Image Sequence
allow
saving or loading multiple images of the sequence as a numbered sequence of image files, or as a single TIFF or AVI format image
file with multiple images. The XCAP-Lite version does not support loading or saving of image buffer sequences in a single
operation; however multiple uses of
Load Image
or
Save Image
can load or save each image buffer of a sequence.
The
E-Mail Image
allows directly e-mail'ing the image, in a variety of file formats, from within XCAP. The XCAP-Lite version
does not support the
E-Mail Image
feature.
The
Print, Windows
and
Print, PXIPL
allow printing the image; the former printing via Windows and supporting a wide variety of
printers, the latter printing via the PXIPL library and supporting only the most popular printers, but providing precise control of
print options. The XCAP-Lite version does not allow printing via the PXIPL library.
The
Attributes
shows the image's (or image sequence's) dimensions, pixel depth, and color space.
The
Duplicate Image
allows creating a new image buffer, and copying the image, in one step. It optionally allows copying the
image's current appearance, as modified by the palette and graphics, instead of the underlying image. The XCAP-Lite version
does not provide
Duplicate Image
.
The
Copy to Black Board
allows copying the image's pixel values into the
Black Board
. The XCAP-Lite version does not provide
Copy to Black Board
.
The
Close Viewer
closes the window, but does not destroy the image (sequence). The
Close & Dispose of Image
closes the window
and destroys the image (sequence). The image viewer window associated with the PIXCI imaging board's frame buffer(s) does not
provide a
Close & Dispose of Image
; an image viewer window is available whenever the PIXCI imaging board is open for use.
5.2.2. Image Viewer - View
The image viewer window's
View
provides options governing the appearance of the displayed image.
The
Shortcuts
allows activating or deactivating a tool bar of icons providing shortcuts for accessing often used features, and is
described under
Image Viewer - View - Shortcuts
.
The
Status Bar
allows activating or deactivating a small status bar with current information, and is described under
Image Viewer -
View - Status Bar
.
For image viewer windows associated with the PIXCI image board's frame buffer(s), the
Adjustments
allows setting common
adjustments, as suitable for the model of the PIXCI imaging board in use, and is described under
PIXCI® Image Viewer -
Capture
.
