PROCEDURE StdGetPic (dataPtr:\xDDPtr; byteCount:\xDDInteger);

dataPtr

A pointer to the collected picture data.

byteCount

DESCRIPTION

The StdGetPic procedure retrieves from the definition of the currently open picture the next number of bytes as specified in the byteCount parameter. The StdGetPic procedure stores them in the data structure pointed to by the dataPtr parameter.

Pictures are described in the chapter "Pictures," which also provides a code sample illustrating how you can supply your application with its own low-level procedure for retrieving pictures.
