CImage:KwdGetNum
The KwdGetNum method returns the value of a numeric keyword in the image header.
number = CImage:KwdGetNum( sKwd ) |
sKwd is the keyword name.
number is the returned value of sKwd.
On success, the method returns a number.
On failure, the method returns 0.
This method returns the value of a number type keyword. No test is performed to determine if the keyword actually exists. If the return value is 0, we do not know whether the keyword has the value 0 or that it does not exist. To test whether the keyword exists, call KwdExists before this method. Alternatively, KwdGetNumEx returns 2 parameters: a boolean status code and the keyword value.
Suppose a CImage named I exists and contains keyword "DARKTIME". The following script fragment returns the value of DARKTIME for the image I:
t = I:KwdGetNum("DARKTIME") |
-- read the keyword value |
Printf( "Darktime= %lg sec", t ) |
-- print the value |
