SANE ("Scanner Access Now Easy") is a universal scanner interface.
|
|
The value of such a universal interface is that it allows writing
|
|
just one driver per image acquisition device rather than one driver
|
|
for each device and application. So, if you have three applications
|
|
and four devices, traditionally you'd have had to write 12 different
|
|
programs. With SANE, this number is reduced to seven: the three
|
|
applications plus the four drivers. Of course, the savings get even
|
|
bigger as more and more drivers and/or applications are added.
|
|
|
|
sane-frontends contains frontends to SANE including xscanimage and
|
|
xcam. Xscanimage is a GTK-based application for scanning images that
|
|
can also be used as a GIMP-plugin, and Xcam is used to get images
|
|
from cameras supported by SANE.
