I am in need of some code that can be embedded in or called from a VFP

program to automatically crop and convert a .bmp file to a .jpg file.

The .bmp files come from a USB web cam. I was hoping to be able to set the

video format to have the horizontal and vertical dimensions the same but

apparently that would require rewriting the camera drivers. A .jpg output

option from the camera driver would have been nice as well. Since neither

of these features appear to be available, I believe cropping the image in

the same operation that converts it to a .jpg will be a satisfactory

solution.

If someone has a recommendation of a package that works well with VFP, it

will probably save me a lot of time wading through all the options that

Google turns up.
