Wang/Kodak annotation

[Steve]

Is it possible to view the Wang/Kodak TIFF annotations in images scanned in by the Imaging for Windows software?

This uses tag ID 32932.

Annotations include Attach-a-Note and Text Stamp.

Imaging for Windows was included in Microsoft Windows up to and including Windows 2000.

I can send more details if required.

Hi Steve,

Into the next release it will be possible to get & set the Wang annotations.

I will post an example of utilization here.

Hi Steve,

The last release is available.

To get the Wang Annotations into a bytes array:

Code: Select all

Dim arTagWangAnnotations() As Byte
Dim nCpt As Long

For nCpt = 1 To Imaging1.ExifTagCount
    If Imaging1.ExifTagGetID(nCpt) = TagWangAnnotations Then
       Call Imaging1.ExifTagGetValueBytes(nCpt, arTagWangAnnotations)
       Exit For
    End If
Next nCpt

And to write the Wang Annotations from an array of bytes:

Code: Select all

Call imaging1.ExifTagSetValueBytes(TagWangAnnotations,TagTypeByte,arTagWangAnnotations)
