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?

    is the Acumen function description manual
     
    There the function gm_write_image is documented with 9 options.
    But: There is no difference between 2014 and 2017 and there is no option that has an influence to the output quality (the quality option is for the jpeg quality only).
    And yes, the image output bit depth has been changed beetwen 2014 and 2017 from 8 to 32bit. There is no Patran option to change this. I recomend to run an external tool like ImageMagic to convert the images.
