Is there some tool to convert xpdl (bpm descriptor) to image files?
I need to convert a bunch of this bpm descriptor to images and doing that manually with some editor is not feasible.
ELMA BPM designer in addition to many other things allows to import XPDL files and export them to image file or print.

i searched all around the web and could not find a way to export a CPN (Colored Petri Nets) model in cpntools to a jpg or png image.
here is a fuzzy article but not so informative and helpful.
is there any idea?
You can use the "Print net" tool to export your Petri net as an EPS file, then use an image conversion program to convert that to jpg or png.
More information can be found here:
http://cpntools.org/documentation/gui/palettes/net_tools/print_net
Note that I have had issues loading the exported EPS format in some editors (e.g. GIMP), but online conversion tools usually manage to convert them to other formats fine.
I have a Windows folder full of pictures. I want to copy them all into a MS Office document, but with the picture filename written above each picture. Is there an easyish way to do this?
Thanks!
The .docx format is simply a main XML wrapped up in a ZIP format with any ancillary required files such as images. It would be pretty simple to do what you need.
I would start by producing an example document, renaming it to .zip, and examining the files within.
I'm trying to load some images using Bitmap.getBitmapResource(), but it takes about 2 or 3 seconds per image to load. I'm testing on the Storm, specifically. The odd thing is, when I install OS 5.0, the loading goes in a snap, no delay at all.
Should I be looking at the format used? Or where the files are stored? I've tried both 24- and 8-bit PNGs, with transparency. The files are stored in a subdirectory in the COD, so getBitmapResource is passed a path, like "images/img1.png" instead of just "img1.png".
Is any of this making things slower?
If you're looking for the most efficient format for storing image data within your application binary, the recommendation is PNG with the 565 colorspace. The BlackBerry Theme Studio toolkit has the ability to load any PNG and export it in this format. Its the best one because its what the BlackBerry uses internally.
Try to use EncodedImage, see Is it better to use Bitmap or EncodedImage in BlackBerry?
In case you need Bitmap class, try also bmp (don't forget to turn off "convert image files to .png" option in BB project settings)
I have a need to select a portion of a .png file, with specific cordinators, and delete this area then save the file back with the same name.
I would appreciate if you can help to come up with a VBScript script that can accomplish this task.
It would be great if all proesses happen in the background, but it would be ok too if the image file has to be open and visible. Thanks a bunch!!!
A PNG file, like any other binary file can be edited with CMD or VBS.
A PNG file layout is as follows:
File header
"Chunks" within the file
Pixel format
Transparency of image
Compression
Interlacing
Animation
Read the PNG format in RFC 2083 to know how to edit/create a PNG file at binary/bit level.
To speed up the editing process, libraries are available for application level editing.
Here are some VBA codes for image manipulation.
ImageMagick also provides libraries that can be accessed via VBS for image editing.
Here's a VBScript Image Class for bmp and pcx files (which PNG can be converted to before editing via WIA).
Loadpicture function described here doesn't seem to support PNG, but this discussion might solve it.
The Windows Image Acquisition Library v2.0 supports PNG, BMP, JPG, GIF and TIFF image formats, and comes with Windows Vista and later versions. Sample scripts are available to demonstrate "image manipulation using the ImageFile object". The Vector.ImageFile property also "creates an ImageFile object from raw ARGB data".
More sample codes here & here show how to rotate, flip, scale, crop, etc with WIA Image constants in vbs. To remove unwanted areas of image (with given coordinates), use the crop function.
Here's a discussion of WIA 2.0 image editing on stackoverflow.
VBScript doesn't have any image editing functions, so you need an external tool for that. For example, GIMP can do image processing from the command line (see here). ImageMagick provides a scriptable component in addition to the command-line interface (details here).
To run a command line from a VBScript script, you can use the WShShell.Run method. To create an instance of a COM scriptable component, use the CreateObject function.
I created an image in Matlab and changed it into binary image file.
I want to read in the file using Core Graphics APIs.
Thanks
Check out the ImageIO framework with raw data.
As you don't say what format your binary image file is in I will recommend ImageMagick. It is a powerful image processing library which has bindings for many languages.
You can use it to transform your binary image file into a format that Core Graphics can understand.
