Declaration

TImageEnMIO = class(TComponent);

Description

TImageEnMIO provides input/output support to ImageEn when working with images containing multiple frames (TIFF, GIF, DICOM, AVI, etc):
◼Loading and saving multi-frame images
◼Access to image properties and meta-data
◼Acquisition of multiple images from cameras and scanners
◼Printing of thumbnails and images

ImageEn supports loading and saving multiple frames from GIF, TIFF, AVI, DCX, DICOM and ICO formats. It can also load from CUR and ZIP formats, and save to PDF and PS format (loading of PDF is supported if a relevant plug-in is installed).

Generally you will not add a TImageEnMIO component directly to your project. It is accessed via the following methods:

1. Using the MIO property of a TImageEnMView

ImageEnMView1.MIO.LoadFromFile( 'C:\MyImage.tiff' );
ImageEnMView1.MIO.DoPrintPreviewDialog();

2. Using the MIO helper property of a TIEMultiBitmap

// Scan images and save to a file
mbmp := TIEMultiBitmap.Create();
if mbmp.MIO.Acquire() then
  mbmp.MIO.SaveToFile( 'D:\scans.tiff' );
mbmp.Free();

3. Attached to a TIEMultiBitmap in code

// Scan images and save to a file
mbmp := TIEMultiBitmap.Create();
mio := TImageEnMIO.CreateFromIEMBitmap( mbmp );
if mio.Acquire() then
  mio.SaveToFile( 'D:\scans.tiff' );
mio.Free();
mbmp.Free();

Notes
◼Ensure you do not call any TImageEnMIO methods before it is actually attached to an image container (TImageEnMView, TIEMultiBitmap, etc)
◼See also TImageEnIO, which works with single-frame images, such as JPEG, BMP, etc.
