MediaRich image processing is controlled by MediaScript, which provides a simple 
framework that makes writing new scripts easy. The framework provides several distinct 
benefits: 

 

A clear API for interacting with the rest of the system 

 

Ability to develop individual scripts that can be focused on the processing required 

 

The same scripts can be used for both Export and the MediaCart 

 

MediaScript is an ECMAScript compliant language like JavaScript or JScript. Similar to 
those other implementations of ECMAScript, MediaScript makes available additional host 
objects relevant to the task at hand. This document assumes some familiarity with 
MediaScript. For more information about working with MediaScript, see Chapter 2, 
“Using MediaScript,” and Chapter 3, “MediaScript Objects and Methods.”

The most important new object in MediaScript is the Media object, which implements the 
many image processing features provided by MediaRich. A typical script creates one or 
more Media objects by either loading image data from a file or using the Media drawing 
methods. The script then performs additional image processing operations based on 
arguments and parameters in the request. Finally, the script generates a response by saving 
a Media object to the desired output file format.

This scripting framework provides a few key services:

 

Loads the image that will be passed to a 

 

processImage

 

 function

 

Calls the 

 

processImage

 

 function

 

Saves the image returned from the 

 

processImage

 

 function

Additional steps are performed depending on whether the context is Export or the 
MediaCart. 

Because this framework is provided as MediaScript, it is readily modifiable. However this 
requires advanced understanding of MediaScript. Before modifying the framework you 
should have some real experience writing MediaScript, read and understand the 
information about using MediaScript in general and in particular the sections on Media 
object, the Request object, the response object, and the TextResponse object. 

There are separate scripts used to provide the framework for Export and the MediaCart:
