Request Types

This section describes the request types used by two standard dialog component functions that allow you to work with the current compression settings for an image or a sequence of images. (You can establish these settings in a number of ways; see "Setting Default Parameters" on page 3-8 for more information about your options.)

You use the SCGetInfo function (described on page 3-34) to retrieve settings information. The SCSetInfo function (described on page 3-36) enables you to modify the settings.

These functions can work with a number of different types of settings information. When you call either function, you specify the type of data you want to work with. The following request types are defined:

#define  scSpatialSettingsType   'sptl'   /* spatial options */
#define  scTemporalSettingsType  'tprl'   /* temporal options */
#define  scDataRateSettingsType  'drat'   /* data rate */
#define  scColorTableType        'clut'   /* color table */
#define  scProgressProcType      'prog'   /* progress function */
#define  scExtendedProcsType     'xprc'   /* extended dialog */
#define  scPreferenceFlagsType   'pref'   /* preferences */
#define  scSettingsStateType     'ssta'   /* all settings */
#define  scSequenceIDType        'sequ'   /* sequence ID */
#define  scWindowPositionType    'wndw'   /* window position */
#define  scCodecFlagsType        'cflg'   /* compression flags */
Each of these request types requires different parameter data. The following sections discuss each of these request types and their data requirements.
