This method imports selected properties from a source image.

None  

object.ImportProperties SourceImage, [ImportFilter]

The ImportProperties Method syntax has these parts:

The settings for ImportFilter are:

Constant		Value	Description
	mcipfImage	4096	Import standard McImage properties.
	mcipfUserProperties	8192	Import public McImage.Properties (in default name space).
	mcipfLookupTables	16384	Import McImage.LookupTables.
	mcipfPseudoColor	32768	Import McPseudoColor.
	mcipfSpatialCalibration	65536	Import McImage.SpatialCalibration.
	mcipfIntensityCalibration	131072	Import McImage.IntensityCalibration.
	mcipfColorMap	262144	Import McImage.ColorMap. Ignored if the image is not indexed color.
	mcipfNoEvent	8388608	Suppress the BeforeImportProperties and AfterImportProperties events.
	mcipfBWBestFit	16777216	Set a best fit display range when importing lookup tables.
	mcipfBWTrueRange	33554432	Set the display range to the actual dynamic range.
	mcipfAll	520192	Import all properties and attributes, do not suppress events.
	mcipfAllExceptSpatial	454656	Import all properties not spatially related. Useful if the image is resized.
	mcipfAllExceptIntensity	389120	Import all properties not intensity related. Useful if the image is converted.
	mcipfDefault	12288	Import a minimal set of properties, image and user properties only. Useful if the image is related to the original image, but not closely.
	mcipfNone	0	Suppress importing any properties. Will still fire event unless mcipfNoEvent is also specified, in case someone handling events wants to copy some properties.
	mcipfMask	268431360	All existing flags combined together.

This method is called automatically for many operations that create new images. Most of these methods take a Flags parameter of type mcImageCreateFlags, into which can be Or'ed mcImportPropertiesFlags to specify which properties, if any are to be copied from the source to the destination.

A few methods give you no control over which properties are copied (e.g., Duplicate where the ImportFlags are mcipfAll). In these cases, if you really need to change the properties copied, you may handle the DMcImageEvents.BeforeImportProperties event and substitute your own ImportFilter argument. However, it will almost always be easier to just call the general-purpose CopyToNewImage method, which gives you a great deal of control over the copy.

Incompatible properties are ignored and don't cause the method to fail.
