<i>&gt; A problem that I've discovered in my PINT backend is that the</i><br>
<i>&gt; dimensions (both X and Y) cannot be known until the scan is started.</i><br>
<i>&gt; I've noticed the following line in the TODO:</i><br>
<p>
<i>&gt; - xscan: scanning of images whose heights is not known a priori is not</i><br>
<i>&gt; supported yet; this is going to be important for handheld scanners</i><br>
<p>
<i>&gt; Does anybody have ideas on how to implement this, and/or has it been</i><br>
<i>&gt; done in 0.57?</i><br>
I don't know, if it has been implemented, but the idea is to read data<br>
until SANE_EOF is returned from the read call.<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; The easiest way I can think of is to have a call to</i><br>
<i>&gt; sane_get_parameters after the scan has completed to find out what</i><br>
<i>&gt; actually happened.</i><br>
NO. This would mean buffering the whole image in the SANE driver.<br>
This is not only RAm-consuming, it also prevents transferring the image<br>
as early as possible to show scan progress and do postprocessing.<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; Maybe space for the PNM header could be reserved before the raw data ...</i><br>
<i>&gt; Then, this could be transformed into a correct PNM header after the</i><br>
<i>&gt; raw scanner data had been written.</i><br>
Yes. This is how it is intended.<br>
<p>
