Copies an image:

• from an Image control to another Image control.
• in a variable of type Image.
  This type of variable is not available.

Only the first syntax can be used with the Image type.

Example

See additional examples

// Simple copy of content from the "IMG_ImageDrawing" control
// into the "IMG_ImageCopy" Image control
ResCopy = dCopyImage(IMG_ImageDrawing, IMG_ImageCopy)

// Copy the image of the screen into an Image control
dCopyImage(copyScreen, IMG_MyImage)

• True if the image was copied,
• False otherwise.

Remark: dCopyImage can return False if the screen driver does not support this function. In this case, a message is displayed in the copied image. We recommend that you update your screen driver in order to get the proper behavior.

Name of the source Image control to be used.
To take a screenshot, use the copyScreen constant: the entire screen content is copied.

The copyScreen constant is not available. The image to copy must necessarily be found in an Image control and it must be a generated image.

The copyScreen constant is not available.

This parameter can correspond to:

• the name of an Image control,
• the name of a variable of type Image.

Name of the destination Image control the image will be copied to.

This parameter can correspond to:

• the name of an Image control,
• the name of a variable of type Image.

The destination Image control must contain a generated image.

Copy mode to be used.

copySrcInvert	Combines the pixels of the source and destination Image controls via the "XOR" (Exclusive Or) method. This constant is not available.
copySrcPaint	Combines the pixels of the source and destination Image controls via the "OR" method. This constant is not available.
copyWhiteness	Fills the destination Image control with white. This constant is not available.

X-coordinate (in pixels) of the upper-left corner of the area to copy (upper-left corner of the source Image control by default).

Y-coordinate (in pixels) of the upper-left corner of the area to copy (upper-left corner of the source Image control by default).

Height (in pixels) of the area to copy (height of the source Image control by default).

Width (in pixels) of the area to copy (width of the source Image control by default).

X-coordinate (in pixels) of the upper-left corner of the copy destination area (upper-left corner of the destination Image control by default).

Y-coordinate (in pixels) of the upper-left corner of the copy destination area (upper-left corner of the destination Image control by default).

Height (in pixels) of the area the image will be copied to (height of the destination Image control by default). If this height is greater than the height of the source image, the image will be enlarged when copied.

Width (in pixels) of the area the image will be copied to (width of the destination Image control by default). If this width is greater than the width of the source image, the image will be enlarged when copied.

Copying the images found in the Image variables Hide the details

<Result> = dCopyImage(<Source image name> , <Destination image name> [, <Source image X-coordinate> [, <Source image Y-coordinate> [, <Source image height> [, <Source image width> [, <Destination image X-coordinate> [, <Destination image Y-coordinate> [, <Destination image height> [, <Destination image width>]]]]]]]])

<Result>: Boolean

• True if the image was copied,
• False otherwise.

Remark: dCopyImage can return False if the screen driver does not support this function. In this case, a message is displayed in the copied image. We recommend that you update your screen driver in order to get the proper behavior.

<Source image name>: Image variable

Name of the Image variable to be used. This image is the source image.

<Destination image name>: Image variable

Name of the Image variable the image will be copied to.

<Source image X-coordinate>: Optional integer

X-coordinate (in pixels) of the upper-left corner of the area to copy (upper-left corner of the source image by default).

<Source image Y-coordinate>: Optional integer

Y-coordinate (in pixels) of the upper-left corner of the area to copy (upper-left corner of the source image by default).

<Source image height>: Optional integer

Height (in pixels) of the area to copy (height of the source image by default).

<Source image width>: Optional integer

Width (in pixels) of the area to copy (width of the source image by default).

<Destination image X-coordinate>: Optional integer

X-coordinate (in pixels) of the upper-left corner of the copy destination area (upper-left corner of the destination image by default).

<Destination image Y-coordinate>: Optional integer

Y-coordinate (in pixels) of the upper-left corner of the copy destination area (upper-left corner of the destination image by default).

<Destination image height>: Optional integer

Height (in pixels) of the area the image will be copied to (height of the destination image by default). If this height is greater than the height of the source image, the image will be enlarged when copied.

<Destination image width>: Optional integer

Width (in pixels) of the area the image will be copied to (width of the destination image by default). If this width is greater than the width of the source image, the image will be enlarged when copied.

Remarks

Zoom on an image

During a copy, you can enlarge or reduce a section of the source image when copying it to the destination image. To do so:

• Define the area to enlarge (or reduce) in the source image (with the <Source image X-coordinate>, <Source image Y-coordinate>, <Source image height> and <Source image width> parameters),
• Define the display area of the result image. This area must be larger to enlarge the image and smaller to reduce the image. By default, the entire destination image is taken into account. Use <Destination image X-coordinate>, <Destination image Y-coordinate>, <Destination image height> and <Destination image width> if necessary.

The zoom percentage depends on the multiplying coefficient between the dimensions of the two areas.

For example:

1. The area to zoom is included in a rectangle whose width is et to 30 pixels and whose height is set to 40 pixels.	2. To perform a 200% zoom, the destination area must be twice the size of the source area: rectangle whose width is set to 60 pixels and whose height is set to 80 pixels.

In this case, the following line of code is used to perform the zoom operation during the copy:

dCopyImage(IMG_SourceControl, IMG_DestinationControl, copySrcCopy, 10, 10, 30, 40, 10, 10, 60, 80)

Drawing in PHP

In PHP, the drawing functions are based on the graphic library GD. This library is commonly used by the PHP hosting providers and therefore it is always enabled. The version of the GD library must be version 2.0.28 (or later). This library can be downloaded from the PHP site.

To enable (if necessary) this library locally, the following elements are required:

• PHP installed.
• the PHP.INI file found in the Windows directory must contain the following line: "extension=php_gd2.dll" (instead of ";extension=php_gd2.dll").
• the php_gd2.dll file must exist in the directory of PHP extensions. This directory is defined in the PHP.INI file by the "extension_dir" variable.

Drawing in Browser code

Some drawing functions are available in Browser code. The drawing functions in Browser code are based on the HTML 5 standard. More specifically, these functions are based on the "canvas" tag of HTML 5.

The drawing features in browser code are available for the recent browsers only (supporting the HTML 5 standard). To find out whether the drawing features are proposed by your browser, use DrawingAvailable.

Caution: To use the drawing functions with Internet Explorer 9, the project must include the reference to the DTD file. To do so, the HTML mode must be "HTML 4.01 Transitional + DTD". This option is available in the "Advanced" tab of the project description window.
Reminder: To open the project description window, go to the "Project" tab, "Project" group and click "Description".

Special case: Drawing in the browser of an Android phone: The browser drawing functions are only available starting with version 3 of Android.

Component: wd300obj.dll
