export("c:\windows\test.bmp",BMP);

but it doesn't work in my Patch 3. So I looked in the KnowledgeBase to see some tips, and I found Export graph window in JPEG format using LabTalk commands, that seems to correspond to a previous version of Origin as it is a lot of nonsense, so in doesn't help very much.

Has anyone ever made this object work?

Thanks,

you're right, I mistyped the first command. But even if I write it the way it is documented, as you suggest,

export.image("c:\personales\test.bmp",BMP);

I get, after a couple of seconds, the following message,

Page exported to "c:\personales\test.bmp"

but I cannot find that file in that directory or in any other. That is what I
mean with "it doesn't work". It does with the other syntax that I report in the second post of this page.

I have been using the Image.ExportDPI object for successfully exporting JPEG files (this is fast and good enough, and doesn't seem to use the ImageStream filter that I don't like at all), so I'll keep doing it this way as long as it works, even if I don't know very well how it does, ha ha...

Yours,

jose.

getfile -m *.opj;
loop (i,1,count)
{
getfile -get I;
doc -open %A;
doc -e P
{
%S=j:\orgfiles\Thumbs\%G_%H;
save -bs %H %S 250 250;
doc -s;
};
};

Jose's posts contain a number of errors.

1. The proper syntax for the export object in 6.0 is documented as:

   export.image(fileName,imageType)

   and will work in any 6.0 version.
   

2. The Knowledge Base item referred to documents the older 5.0 mechanism for exporting graphs - which had far fewer graph types than 6.0.
   
3. The image object was introduced in the SR2 release of Origin and has not been documented as yet, but works as described in the forum post. The file extensions can be
   
   • BMP
     
   • EMF
     
   • PDF
     
   • WMF
     
   • JPG
     
   • PCX
     
   • PSD
     
   • TGA
     
   • TIF
     
   • XPM
     
   • XWD
     
   • AI
     
   • CGM
     
   • DXF
     
   • EPS
     
   • PCT
     
   • PNG
     
   
   

------------------

Image.FileName$="C:\windows\test.bmp";
Image.ExportDPI(BMP);

that is a way totally undocumented. Do people at microcal have somewhere to read the proper use of this exporting objects?

Thanks,
