attachlist_imageview

The attachlist_imageview function is a non-class function that creates a new CImageView object attached to an image window on the Mira desktop. The script can then collect data from the image and change its contents. This function requires the user to select the target window from a list of all image windows on the desktop. This function does not use an existing CImageView object. Also see the equivalent class method CImageView:AttachFromList.

The related attach_imageview function and CImageView:Attach method attach to the top-most image window.

Syntax

CImageView_obj = attachlist_imageview()

On success, a new CImageView object CImageView_obj is returned.

On failure, nil is returned. This usually means no image window is shown on the Mira desktop.

Remarks

This function collects all image windows on the Mira desktop into a list, then displays them in a window where the target image window is selected. The selected image window is returned as a new CImageView object. Note that the list includes the number of images in the image set owned by the window.

Example

Assume that several image windows are displayed on the Mira desktop along with other windows. The following script attaches one of the image windows to the script:

V = attachlist_imageview()	-- select the target image window
if V == nil then Exit() end	-- if not successful, exit the script
Printf("Attached image view %s\n")	-- print the title of the attached window
