LoadPattern

LoadPattern loads an image pattern from file. Returns a Boolean. The return value is 'True' if the image file is loaded successfully, else the value is 'False'.

Syntax

object.LoadPattern( FileName, FileFormat, Options )

Parameter	Type	Required/ Optional	Default	Description
FileName	String	Required		This provides the directory path and file name of the bitmap file.
FileFormat	String	Optional	""	see Remarks
Options	String	Optional	""	This specifies the import options.

Remarks

The FileFormat string must be a three letter, lower-case image file extension, as seen in the Import dialog. This option is specified when there is no three letter extension in the image file name and the format cannot otherwise be identified by Surfer.

The Options string is any import options that must be specified for file types that require them.

Example
