About
PascalSane provides pascal bindings for the libsane library, enabling Lazarus and FreePascal applications to access scanners under Linux.
Principal operations :
- list available scanners
- list options for a specified scanner
- set options for a scanner
- capture scanner input in PNM format
The download contains the libsane bindings and a unit saneutils.pas which provides some simple functions for manipulating scanner data. It also contains a demonstration Lazarus application, which contains examples of operations that can be performed using libsane.
