<P>
Mick Barry, Don, 01 Mär 2001 :
<BR>
<EM>&gt; Tom,
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Thanks muchly for this.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I'm still unclear on how a f/e knows that there is new image, and not
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; just a new frame for the current image. Is it implied by what frames
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; have been recieved.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; So if we looked at just the getparameter replies is the following how it
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; is intended to work:
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; GetParameters (format=Red, LastFrame=false)
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; GetParameters (format=Green, LastFrame=false)
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; GetParameters (format=Blue, LastFrame=false)
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; // Implies a new image cause we've already read r, g &amp; b
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; GetParameters (format=Grey, LastFrame=false)
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; // Implies a new image cause we've read grey image which only has simple
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; frame
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; GetParameters (format=RGB, LastFrame=false)
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; // Implies a new image cause we've read rgb image which only has simple
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; frame
</EM><BR>
<P>Hi,
<BR>
ok, I hope, one last comment is allowed (and please correct me, if I'm wrong):
<BR>
<P>According to the current SANE Standard, there's absolutely no way for a frontend
<BR>
to determine, whether there's another image available, especially not by
<BR>
a call to sane_get_parameters().
<BR>
The member last_frame is *always* false, if your scanning a single frame image
<BR>
(like RGB or grayscale). This member is only used if you are scanning a
<BR>
multi frame image.
<BR>
See SANE Standard 1.02, page 28:
<BR>
<P>&quot;Member last_frame is set to SANE_TRUE if and only if the frame that is
<BR>
currently being acquired (or the frame that will be acquired next if there is
<BR>
no current frame) is the last frame of a multi frame image (e.g., the current
<BR>
frame is the blue component of a red, green, blue image).&quot;
<BR>
<P>There is no &quot;well known option&quot; or a flag in SANE_Parameters which tells the
<BR>
frontend that it should continue with image acquisition. Therefore you
<BR>
have the following possibilities:
<BR>
-let the user hit the scan button for each single scan operation
<BR>
-let the user set the number of scans, and then try to acquire this number of
<BR>
scans.
<BR>
<P>...as I said before, please correct me, if I'm wrong.
<BR>
<P>Michael
