ECW / Jpeg2000 Image

Home

ECW (Enhanced Compression Wavelet) is a proprietary wavelet compression image format optimized for aerial and satellite imagery. The lossy compression format efficiently compresses very large images with fine alternating contrast. Map projection information can be embedded into the ECW file format to support geospatial applications.
LiteCAD uses the ERDAS ECW JP2 SDK to support this image format. There is NCSEcw.dll file from Hexagon Geospatial that come with LiteCAD package. LiteCAD can work without this file, therefore you must redistribute this file only if your LiteCAD-based application requires support for ECW or Jpeg2000 formats.

To add an image object into a drawing use following functions:

Function	Meaning
lcBlockAddEcw	Adds an image by the image filename.

An image object has properties and functions derived from base class and the following specific properties:

Property	Type	Access	Meaning
LC_PROP_ENT_...    Base class properties
LC_PROP_ECW_FILENAME	string	R	Image filename
LC_PROP_ECW_LOADED	bool	R	"Image is loaded" flag
LC_PROP_ECW_WPIX	int	R	Width (pixels)
LC_PROP_ECW_HPIX	int	R	Height (pixels)
LC_PROP_ECW_CBIT	int	R	Color bits
LC_PROP_ECW_XMIN	float	R	X coordinate of left-bottom corner
LC_PROP_ECW_YMIN	float	R	Y coordinate of left-bottom corner
LC_PROP_ECW_XMAX	float	R	X coordinate of right-top corner
LC_PROP_ECW_YMAX	float	R	Y coordinate of right-top corner
LC_PROP_ECW_W	float	R	Width (drawing units)
LC_PROP_ECW_H	float	R	Height (drawing units)
LC_PROP_ECW_SCALEX	float	R	Horizontal scale, drawing units per image pixel
