Image dump settings

Image dump settings specify the dimensions, resolution, and an optional post-filter for the generated images.

This tool reads the descriptions of some predefined settings from the file $PMS_CONFDIR/ImageDimensions.cnf. The content of the file:

• lbl A4 Portrait; wid 197; hig 286;;

• lbl A4 Landscape;wid 286;hig 197;;

So you can create your own resolutions by defining a new row here.

Also, the description of available post filters is read from the file $PMS_CONFDIR/ImagePostFilters.cnf. The content of the file:

• lbl Open image to MS Paint;prg mspaint.exe;;

Here are a couple of examples of how you can use this menu. You can, for example, call the .bat file that actually contains the full command line which then converts, prints etc. the image to something else.

• lbl Convert to gif;prg c:/temp/convert.bat;;

• lbl Print Image;prg c:/temp/print.bat;; */

Dump image to file

You can use this command to generate an image to a file using the current view and image dump settings. The generated image should be the same as the one that you see in the image canvas, if you have fixed the canvas image ratio to be the same as that of the generated image. The only difference would be that the resolution of the image in the file may be better than that what you see on your screen. The image file is always a 24-bit deep true color Windows BMP image.

Fix/Free image aspect ratio

With this command you can fix the aspect ratio of your image into the canvas window. By doing this you can actually see what is included into the image dump and whether something is left out due to a wrong size of the image dump.

Record AVI file along path

This command will take you to the start of saved camera path. However, before starting to save the video clip you have to define the file location and video file compression format and codec. After this, if you click Move forward along path, the computer will start processing the video.
