GetImage (ImageClip)

Introduced

2.0

Description

Returns the Image data associated with the clip.

Note: For performance considerations, try not only call this method when the plug-in intends to read actual pixel values. For example, you can determine the resolution more quickly via the Source object, as demonstrated in one of the examples under the main ImageClip topic.

Scripting Syntax
