Save an image processing context to a file.

Syntax

void MimSave(
AIL_CONST_TEXT_PTR FileName, //in
AIL_ID ContextImId, //in
AIL_INT64 ControlFlag //in
)

Description

This function saves an image processing context to disk.

To load the saved image processing context, use either MimRestore or MimStream.

Parameters

FileName (in, AIL_CONST_TEXT_PTR)

Specifies the name and path of the file in which to save the image processing context; it is recommended that you use the MIC file extension for easier use with other Zebra Aurora software products. The function internally handles the opening and closing of this file. If this file already exists, it will be overwritten.

For specifying the file name and path

ValueDescription
M_INTERACTIVEOpens the File Save As dialog box from which you can interactively specify the drive, directory, and name of the file.
"FileName"Specifies the drive, directory, and name of the file (for example, "C:\mydirectory\myfile"). Typically, image processing context files have an MIC extension.

To specify a file on a remote computer (under Distributed Aurora Imaging Library), prefix the specified file name string with "remote:///" (for example, "remote:///C:\mydirectory\myfile"). |

ContextImId (in, AIL_ID)

Specifies the identifier of the image processing context to save. The image processing context must have been previously allocated using MimAlloc.

ControlFlag (in, AIL_INT64)

Reserved for future expansion and must be set to M_DEFAULT.
