Jim,

imageData is a pixel-by-pixel property. Pixels are read in rows
across and then down.

Each pixel is 4 characters long: alpha, red, green, and blue.

So for example, a white pixel would be 0,255,255,255
A black pixel would be 0,0,0,0
A red pixel: 0,255,0,0
A 50% transparent pixel: 127, red, green, blue

And so on and so forth.

Notice the black pixel - it IS a string of zeros. You might try
changing it to a red line to illuminate the difference, but that's
why you are seeing so many zeros!

HTH,
Brian

Key and Brian,

Thanks very much for your help. It has got me started.

I added a little blue line to my existing red line but it didn't seem to show up in the data so I ran the following handler:

on mouseUp
  put the imagedata of img id 1003 into tData
  put 0 into tCounter
  repeat for each char tChar in tData
    put charToNum(tChar) into tNum
    if tCounter mod 4  is 0 then put cr after results
    put tNum&comma after results
    add 1 to tCounter
  end repeat
  put results into field 1
  put the number of lines in field 1 into msg box

  --Look for something other than blue.
  repeat for each line tLine in results
    if tLine is not "0,255,30,5," then
      breakpoint
    end if
  end repeat
end mouseUp

This breaks up the pixels into readable chunks on a separate line so it is easier to interpret. But all I was seeing was 0,255,40,5 in the field printout i.e. a redish pixel. So I added the breakpoint and the blue showed up. So now I'm seeing blue, whereas before I was SEEING RED.

Apparently RunRev is willing to put just so much text into a field. It also appears that the image data doesn't show the blank pixels. The red shows up as the lead pixel, but the red line is several pixels from the left edge of the image object.

Back to the drawing board.

Very helpful. Thanks again.

Jim
