Where are the latest Patran 2017 PCL programming manuals and where are the detailed instructions for the gm_write_image function?

toby.t.norris
Where are the Patran 2017 manuals for PCL programming. The last ones I have are for 2013. Specifically you have altered the behavior of the gm_write_image function and I need to see what has changed between v2013 and v2017.  With v2017 I am now getting images saved with 32 bit color depth which is a problem compared to what I was getting before from Patran v2014 which were 8 bit color depth.  When I look up gm_write_image on your website I find nothing, and when I lookup "Patran Manuals" I find nothing. And with my new Patran 2017 installation I see no PCL programming manuals.  Why is it so difficult to get information about PCL programming?

    Hi Toby,
     
    Not all the functions are documented or exposed in the PCL. And the details at which they are documented is varied. Acumen was a product ( one available under umbrella of Patran ) which allow greater level of access and that is why you are finding it under ACUMEN. As for the issue of the quality of the images, it may be related to other issues ( such as graphics cards settings) and we will have to investigate. If others on the forum have dealt with this and have avoidance please comment.
     
    Thanks,
    Sanjay.
