SaveEditorToJPEG()

Summary

Saves the editor image as a JPEG compressed file.

Syntax

SaveEditorToJPEG(string editor_name, string jpeg_name, int quality)

Argument Contents
editor_name The name of the editor, or null for the current editor
jpeg_name The path and file name of the JPEG file to be created
quality A number between 1 and 100 representing the quality of the desired image

Notes

  • JPEG is a lossy compression, meaning that the output image will not be identical to the original. There is a trade-off between the quality of the image file and its size. The quality value is a number between 1 and 100, where 100 is the highest quality image and 1 is the lowest. A quality value of 75 is recommended.

  • This function is based on the work of the Independent JPEG Group's software.

  • It is preferable to use the SaveEditorToImage() function rather than this function.

Example

SaveEditorToJPEG(, "editor.jpg", 75)
