Details

METAIN reads image metadata from an XML document, reformats the metadata into a set of name-value pairs, and stores the information in a specified PCIDSK file.

The XML document file must be in the same directory and have the same base name as the output PCIDSK file. The XML document must have an "xml" file extension.

METAIN requires that the schema for the XML document be stored in the file $PCIHOME\\etc\\PCIImageMetadata.xsd.

Note: The XML document parser currently incorporated into METAIN does not accept a zero value that includes a decimal point. Therefore, "0" is accepted, but, "0.0", "0.00", etc. are not. Do not include zero values with decimal points in XML documents to be processed by METAIN.
