Parameters: Pointer to a Layer Structure.
Return : 16 Bit Integer, always returns a 1.
GetLayer is used to retrieve a Layer’s parameters (requested by SendGetLayer).
The parameters are passed through the Film Structure.
Example:
ReturnVal = SendGetFilm(FilmNum)
tell unit to transfer Film #
do while(ChkCommDone == -1)
wait for comm to finish
ReturnVal = GetLayer(&LyrStruct)
LyrStruct contains Film info

Parameters: None
Return : 16 Bit Integer, always returns a 1.
Delete Layers removes all layers from the active process.
Example:
ReturnVal = DeleteLayers
set film parameters
do while(ChkCommDone == -1)
wait for comm to finish

are passed to the function through the Film Structure.
Example:
ReturnVal = SetFilm(&FilmStruct)
