Remarks
Creates a graphic file containing a snapshot of the bitmap view of the analysed sound waveform: the view can represent the full sound's waveform or portions of it.
Before calling this method it's mandatory performing a previous sound's analysis through a call to the WaveformAnalyzer.AnalyzeFullSound method.
For details about generating a waveform bitmap of the recorded sound and about the use of the Waveform Analyzer refer to the How to use the Waveform Analyzer section.
For further details about methods of the Waveform Analyzer refer to the WaveformAnalyzer class section.
Syntax
Parameter
|
Description
|
|
|
nMode
|
Snapshot view mode.
Supported values are the following:
Mnemonic value
|
Value
|
Meaning
|
WAVE_SNAPSHOT_MODE_WAVEFORM
|
0
|
Snapshot of the waveform
|
WAVE_SNAPSHOT_MODE_SPECTRAL
|
1
|
Snapshot of the spectral view
|
WAVE_SNAPSHOT_MODE_WAVEFORM_ABS
|
2
|
Snapshot of the waveform with absolute values
|
|
nStartPos
|
Number representing the sound's position, expressed in milliseconds, where the waveform visualization begins.
The value 0 represents the sound's beginning.
|
nEndPos
|
Number representing the sound's position, expressed in milliseconds, where the waveform visualization ends.
The value -1 represents the sound's end.
|
nBitmapWidth
|
Number representing the generated bitmap width, expressed in pixels. A value of -1 indicates no width constraints: in this case the control will generate a bitmap large enough in order to contain the full sound's waveform.
|
nBitmapHeight
|
Number representing the generated bitmap height, expressed in pixels.
|
nChannel
|
Audio channel to render.
Supported values are the following:
Mnemonic value
|
Value
|
Meaning
|
WAVEFORM_CHAN_ALL
|
-2
|
The snapshot contains sound data for all channels separated
|
WAVEFORM_CHAN_MIXED
|
-1
|
The snapshot contains sound data for all channels mixed together
|
WAVEFORM_CHAN_0
|
0
|
The snapshot contains sound data for channel 0 or left channel for stereo
|
WAVEFORM_CHAN_1
|
1
|
The snapshot contains sound data for channel 1 or right channel for stereo
|
WAVEFORM_CHAN_2
|
2
|
The snapshot contains sound data for channel 2
|
WAVEFORM_CHAN_3
|
3
|
The snapshot contains sound data for channel 3
|
WAVEFORM_CHAN_4
|
4
|
The snapshot contains sound data for channel 4
|
WAVEFORM_CHAN_5
|
5
|
The snapshot contains sound data for channel 5
|
WAVEFORM_CHAN_6
|
6
|
The snapshot contains sound data for channel 6
|
WAVEFORM_CHAN_7
|
7
|
The snapshot contains sound data for channel 7
|
|
strPathname
|
String containing the absolute pathname of the file where the waveform will be saved.
|
nFormat
|
Graphic format used to save the bitmap.
Supported values are the following:
Mnemonic value
|
Value
|
Meaning
|
GRAPHIC_FORMAT_BMP
|
0
|
BMP format
|
GRAPHIC_FORMAT_JPEG
|
1
|
JPEG format
|
GRAPHIC_FORMAT_PNG
|
2
|
PNG format
|
GRAPHIC_FORMAT_GIF
|
3
|
GIF format
|
GRAPHIC_FORMAT_TIFF
|

|
TIFF format
|
|
nFormatParameter
|
Eventual parameters required by the chosen graphic format.
When the nFormat parameter is set to GRAPHIC_FORMAT_JPEG, this parameter defines the JPEG compression factor whose range can be in the range from 0 (Maximum compression, Lower Quality) to 100 (Minimum compression, Higher Quality).
|
Return value
Value
|
Meaning
|
|
|
Negative value
|
An error occurred (see the LastError property for further error details)
|
enumErrorCodes.ERR_NOERROR (0)
|
