PiXCL Advanced Imaging 10.0

PiXCL 10 is the latest version (see the development history here ) of a complete suite of scanner and digital camera image acquisition and advanced image processing APPLICATION development tools, designed for the imaging professional or power user like you. Based on a high level interpreted language, or built as an EXE with the included compiler, PiXCL requires that you like or at least tolerate programming.

While the PiXCL language syntax is easy to learn and largely self-documenting , most importantly, PiXCL hides most of the complexity of Windows allowing you to concentrate on solving your imaging problem, not Windows internal issues;
and save your precious time.

Please note that PiXCL 10 is not a scanner or camera driver development toolkit: these drivers are provided by your hardware supplier and are installed with the equipment. Some suppliers also provide optional device control libraries for programmers, but these are unfortunately rare. Put another way, PiXCL requires that your scanner or camera be supported by your version of Windows.

PiXCL language interpreter with over 800 commands and operations, which is used to test your application code as you develop it. For the purists, PiXCL is a strongly typed language with String, Integer, Integer64, Float and Double variable and 1D array data types, with the type implicit in the variable name. Memory is assigned only when a variable is first used, and in most cases, PiXCL takes care of memory deallocation ( a.k.a. "garbage collection") automatically. The main exceptions are images in the PIXCL internal image list. All bitmaps that a PiXCL application loads or display are intentionally stored in the process memory, until either the programmer tells the app to release it, or the application exits. Note that all the image processing functions are fast compiled code in DLLs.
