<i>&gt; &gt; May be we should add a generic n-channel frame format</i><br>

<i>&gt; all at once:</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; up to 8 color images</i><br>
<i>&gt; up to 8 gray images</i><br>
<i>&gt; up to 8 binary images</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; Not to mention backside images as well. Each image can have different</i><br>
<i>&gt; characteristics (i.e. JFIF color/gray, TIFF G4 binary) and dimensions.</i><br>
<i>&gt; In particular, the scanner supports windows with these different properties</i><br>
<i>&gt; and their own scan area. An aware application needs to be able to find</i><br>
<i>&gt; out that these images are from the same page. Ideas?</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; This is not so pressing to me as the application being able to select</i><br>
<i>&gt; compressed frame formats (and blocking formats it can't handle) but</i><br>

Hi Stephen,<br>
<p>
the sane standard defines that you get one image for one call of SANE_START.<br>
The suggestion I made with the n channel frame format is for ONE image<br>
that consist of different frames - eg the RGB + IR channel we are discussing on<br>
this list. This does not work for multi images!<br>
<p>
We would have to add an extension to the standard for multiple image scans.<br>
This could be done by a new function:<br>
sane_set_scan_selection()<br>
and a definition how the multiple images are read, eg by calling<br>
sane_start several times but the backend produces all images<br>
at the first call and sends one image for each call of sane_start.<br>
<p>
But I am not sure if that is really necessary for sane.<br>
<p>
Bye<br>
Oliver<br>
