NAME
PX_get_data_graphic — Get graphic data field
SYNOPSIS
#include <paradox.h>
int PX_get_data_graphic(pxdoc_t *pxdoc, char *data, int len, int *mod,
int *blobsize, char **value)
DESCRIPTION
Reads a graphic data field. This function may be used only for blobs of
type pxfGraphic.
data points to the start of the data field in the record. It must be
calculated by summing up all field length before the field to operate
on and add it to the base pointer of the record. You should use this
function instead of accessing the data directly.
PX_get_data_graphic returns blob data stored in the record itself, or
in an MB files which must have been set with PX_set_blob_file(3).
The function allocates memory for the data returned in *value. This
memory has to be freed by the application. The amount of memory for
the blob is returned in *blobsize. *mod returns the so called
modification number of the blob which can often be used as an unique id
for creating file names, if the data is saved in a file.
Note:
This function is deprecated and obsolete if
PX_retrieve_record(3) is used.
RETURN VALUE
Returns 0 if the value is NULL, -1 in case of an error and 1 otherwise.
