[sane-devel] some well known strings

[Oliver Rauch]

Hello Andre,

I am working on a suggestion for several well known options.
It is not published yet but I suggest you start with the
option names I list here, although they might change if
necessary.

Please use: "Color", "Gray", "Halftone", and "Lineart" at first.

The one without a name shall be used for grayscale. It also can be used as
a common gamma table for all colors, this would look like this:

gamma_red = gamma_table(gamma_table_red(red))
...
note that in this case the gamma_table_red,... should define
a table with the same gamma input and output depth and the
gamma_table should reduce (if necessary) the gamma table
to the needed output depth, eg:
gamma_table_red 14 bit -> 14 bit
gamma_table 14 bit -> 8 bit

Where is the difference to lamp on?

??? For what shall that be. It normally is the other way around,
the backend tells the frontend to reload the options.

Please use "lamp-on" and "lamp-off" with type button.

Bye
