The TIFF SDK/ActiveX is a complete
set of easy to use tools that helps application developers and programmers
create applications with sophisticated TIFF processing capabilities.
The SDK works on every Windows operating system from Windows Server
2003 to Windows 95 and because it includes both C/C++ libraries
and ActiveX controls, the functionality of the product can be accessed
from most programming languages like C, C++, Visual Basic, Delphi,
MS FoxPro, and MS Access. TIFF SDK/ActiveX is also .NET compatible
meaning that VB.NET, C#, and J# programmers can also take full advantage
of the product.
The TIFF SDK/ActiveX was the first TIFF development
tool on the market and has been successfully used by thousands of
engineers worldwide since 1989. With the TIFF SDK a developer
can write applications to Read, Write, Print, Encode and decode
TIFF, CALS, CCITT, IBM's MMR IOCA and user defined images
without ever having to learn the complexity of Tag Image File Format.
Structurally, The TIFF SDK/ActiveX
consists of a set of DLLs and ActiveX controls. Each DLL and ActiveX
control implements a specific, well-defined feature set, which is
designed to help developers to pinpoint specific functionality.
Based on the above structure, the TIFF
SDK/ActiveX can be divided into the following main components:
Display
The
TIFF
SDK/ActiveX
includes a very powerful feature that makes displaying images to
any display device easy. The display feature included in TIFF SDK/ActiveX
provides an easy to use solution for developers. Application developers
now do not have to spend expensive engineering time implementing
complicated display routines. Just a few function calls and the
Black Ice display routine will do the rest.
TIFF
File Processing
The
TIFF
SDK/ActiveX includes the most sophisticated TIFF File Processing
tools on the market since 1989 and TIFF processing is a pivotal
part of Black Ice software development toolkits. TIFF processing
allows software developers to create applications that encode, decode
and manipulate TIFF files.
TIFF File Formats
The TIFF SDK/ActiveX
supports a wide variety of TIFF formats including both monochrome
and color TIFF formats.
Compression
TIFF
SDK/ActiveX control supports all of the popular data compression
methods used in today's imaging tools.
TWAIN
scanner support
Scanning support is based on the latest
TWAIN 1.9 drivers. With the latest TWAIN drivers, application developers
have total control over almost every aspect of the scanning process.
Applications can even turn on and off the use of the document feeder
that some newer scanners have in order to perform batch scanning
or automated scanning.
Printing
Black Ice imaging and image processing tools provide an easy way to print
images in single or multiple print jobs with a wide variety of options.
When printing, today’s applications not only want to create a paper
copy of an image file but also want to specify the way in which
the image will be printed. The image has to be positioned on the
paper according to a predefined location, printed with its original
size or stretched to a specific size. Some applications even require
printing more than one image on the same page so the amount of paper
wasted would be minimal. Black Ice imaging tools provide several powerful options to
meet these needs.
Fax
Image Processing
One very important area where image
processing is commonly used is faxing. During faxing image files
are being transferred from one device to another. The format, the
size and the resolution of the image file that can be transferred
is specified by the fax standard and by the device (i.e. fax board)
that will transmit the file.
Internet
Black
Ice Software’s TIFF SDK/ActiveX controls are designed to assist
developers in building web-based Internet imaging applications.
You can build a server based or client based image-processing
web application with quick integration using the TIFF SDK ActiveX
controls.
Transformations
Image transformations are important
and one of the most widely used components of any imaging toolkit.
Image transforms produce results quickly without degrading
the quality of the image.
Text
Processing
Black Ice imaging tools include a wide
variety of text processing functions that can be very helpful in
many different application areas.
Sample
Applications:
Additionally,
the TIFF SDK/ActiveX contains a variety of new sample applications, which
demonstrate the new document conversion capabilities and features.
The product is fully .NET compatible and also provides sample source
code written in C#, VB.NET, and J# to demonstrate the powerful document
conversion options.
Visual Studio 2005, and VB.NET 8.0
Support has also been added.
Operating
Systems Supported:
32-bit Windows Server 2003 family, XP, 2000, NT 4.0 and ME/98/95. Looking for more? Check out our
