VBScript Image Class

Create and manipulate bmp and pcx files

option explicit

'Interface of the graphical class
'Declaration : Set MyObj = New ImgClass
'Properties :
'    Palette(x) R/W, x=0..255, set/get an RGB code.
'    Width R/W Set/get the width of the picture. Resizing erases the picture
'    Height R/W set/get the height of the picture. Resizing erases the picture
'    Depth R/W set/get the color depth in bits. =8 ou 24. Decreasing alters the picture
'    Pixel(x,y) R/W, x=0..Width-1, y=0..Height-1. Get/set the color-code of a pixel.
'    QuickPixel(x,y) R/W, quicker than pixel : no clipping or depth control
'    NbColors R/W Get the nb of colors used in the picture, or decrease it
'Methodes :
'    ErasePic Clear the picture
'    GetRGB(r,g,b) Gets a color-code depending of the color depth : if 8bits : nearest color
'    Display Preview the picture with Internet Explorer
'    DisplayInfo Pops up a box with physicla picture properties
'    SaveBMP(Chemin_Complet) Save the picture to a BMP file
'    SavePCX(chemin_complet) Save the picture to a PCX file
