<i>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; On Thu, 19 Nov 1998 09:09:48 +0100 (MET), Stefan Illy &lt;<a href="mailto:stefan.illy@itp.fzk.de">stefan.illy@itp.fzk.de</a>&gt; said:</i><br>
<p>
Stefan&gt; What is the reason for using fseek (and also ftell) in<br>
Stefan&gt; xscanimage.c? Is there a possibility for avoiding this in<br>
Stefan&gt; future releases of sane?<br>
<p>
The reason is that three-pass color scanners deliver image data in<br>
band-interleaved format (e.g., all red pixels, followed by all blue<br>
pixels, etc.) whereas most image formats want pixel-interleaved format<br>
(red, green, blue value, followed by next pixel). We use fseek() in<br>
xscanimage to avoid having to buffer the entire image in memory (which<br>
may be huge).<br>
