What is this plug-in? --------------------- This is a Linux/Mozilla plug-in that enables a scanner/digital camera application to be created with JavaScript. To this end the SANE plug-in provides two things: 1. I have attempted to export all of the SANE API's from the SANE native libraries to JavaScript. (I have provided two brain-dead samples for a CPia USB digital camera and HP 6300 scanner.) 2. A drawing surface for displaying the scanned image. ===================================================================== Why did you bother? ------------------ Originally, I used this plug-in to cut my teeth on the new Mozilla XPCom plug-in model. Now I am hoping to provide a Linux/Mozilla plug-in sample that exercises most of the functionality that the Linux community would want to use (like connecting JavaScript to native code.) ===================================================================== You know, Linux isn't the only UN*X around! ------------------------------------------- I say Linux because that is the only platform I have built/tested on. SANE is supported by a long list of UN*X OS's so there is no reason that other platforms shouldn't work with this plug-in. (I have tried to stick to NSPR functions for this reason, but it's easy to over look a couple of Linux specific functions.) ====================================================================== How do I build this beast? ------------------------- In order to build this plug-in, you need the SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) libraries/headers installed on your system.
