Introduction

Synopsis

The [create] subcommand

    imageRef create (-data bin|-file str|-name str|-url str|-type ostype)

• the -data option lets you specify binary data corresponding to the image.
• the -file option lets you specify the name of a file containing the image. The value can be a full or relative path name specifying the file with the desired image data.
• the -name option lets you specify an image by name. See the Named Images section below for a list of available names.
• the -type option lets you specify a system icon by a four-characters code (aka OSType). See the Icon Types section below for a list of available types.
• the -url option lets you specify an image by its URL.

1. Search for an object whose name was set explicitly and currently resides in the image cache.
2. Search the application's main bundle for a file whose name matches the specified string. When looking for files in the application's bundle, it is better (but not required) to include the filename extension in the name parameter.
3. Search the Application Kit framework for a shared image with the specified name.
