IMAGELIST Mnemonic - Create Image List

Syntax

'IMAGELIST'(id,width,imagefile)

Description

The 'IMAGELIST' mnemonic retrieves an image file and creates an image list (a series of concatenated images indexed from 0 to the number of images in the file).

Parameter

Description

id

Image list ID.

width

Width of images displayed in the image file in pixels.

imagefile

Image file name. It can specify a .bmp file located on a data server, as long as the proper data server syntax is used and the appropriate PRO/5 Data Server bit is enabled within Visual PRO/5. If the specified bitmap cannot be located, an !ERROR=12 is generated. An 8-byte depth (256 color) image list is the maximum that can be supported.

The imagelist file is made by joining images of equal width together end-to-end to create a single image. For example, the following is an imagelist file that consists of 17 images joined together:

17imglst.png
