QPx_NewImporterForData

QPx_NewImporterForData(importerRef; importerRef; importerRef):error
	importerRef	Longint	Reference to a new graphics importer
	imageData	BLOB	4D BLOB containing image data
	importerType	Text	Importer type
	error	Longint	Error result

Unlike QPx_NewImporterForFile, this command creates an importer for image data stored in the 4D BLOB specified in imageData. In this case, QPix and QuickTime have no way for identifying the image type. Therefore, you must explicitly specify a type by passing its 4-character type identifier in the importerType parameter. For a list of available graphics importers, use QPx_GetImportTypes.

A reference to the importer is returned in importerRef. This reference can be used with all QPix commands in this group to refer to the graphics importer instance and its associated data.

NOTE When done working with an importer instance, you must destroy it by calling QPx_FreeImporter (unless you have assigned the importer to a QPix area, in which case its destruction will be handled by the area).

Example

   // Create an importer for image data strored in a BLOB

C_LONGINT($error)
C_TEXT($imagePath)
C_BLOB($imageData)
C_LONGINT(gQPixImporter)

$imagePath:="Hard disk:images:people.gif"
DOCUMENT TO BLOB($imagePath;$imageData)

$error:=QPx_NewImporterForData (gQPixImporter;$imageData;qpx_GIFFile)

If ($error=qpx_noErr)
   
      //Importer created successfully
   
End if
