Abstract:
1. A method for modifying operations in an image forming device, comprising: obtaining, with a processor in an image forming device, an indication of a user-specified origin to be used for an imaging operation via a user interface in the image forming device, the user-specified origin defining a first coordinate system for the imaging operation; obtaining, with the processor in the image forming device, an indication of a user-specified order of individual component operations that collectively constitute the imaging operation in the image forming device via the user interface; identifying, with the processor in the image forming device, a transformation operation for converting the first coordinate system to a second coordinate system, the second coordinate system being used by hardware components in the image forming device for executing the imaging operation; receiving, with the processor in the image forming device, input image data according to the user-specified origin in the first coordinate system; applying, with the processor in the image forming device, the identified transformation operation to the input image data to transform the input image data in the first coordinate system to image data in the second coordinate system; and directing, with the processor in the image forming device, processing of the image data in the second coordinate system and according to the user-specified order of individual component operations for the imaging operation in the image forming device, the image forming device outputting a result of the imaging operation.
