This wishlist item is for ability to generate a waveform image from an audio file.

A waveform image is useful for describing an audio file visually.

Use case: During audio manipulation (related ticket 4156860), a helpful waveform image of the original and resultant audio files could be displayed.

Syntax example: audioGetWaveform(filePathOrVariable, optionsStruct)/audiofile.getWaveform(optionsStruct)//returns a ColdFusion image variable

optionsStruct examples:
{format="jpg", width=400, height=150, foregroundcolor="blue", backgroundcolor="white"}
{format="png", width=400, height=150, foregroundcolor="blue"}//transparent background

media resource website on deck? Not something everyone will use, but for the sake of making hard things easy, I think its worth a look. I wish there was more like this where the developer tries to push the boundaries of CF and finds all the things that were too hard/expensive, and then the CF team works of a feasible solution. I've made similar laundry lists in the past for PDFs, IIS/site config automation, and useful DOM reading functions. PDFs they got it mostly right, though it took almost a decade. The other two were ignored. Executing stuff like this makes CF the product for entrepreneurs and with it an avenue for long term growth.

Hi Shawn, This, and the related wishlist tickets I just filed, aren't for a "specific project" but are actually a mix of 1) requests from clients, 2) requests I've seen other CF community members make and 3) my own ideas, over the years. I agree PDF is nearly right, and that's taken many years. Adobe's asked us before: "What other Adobe technologies would you like to see in CF?" Well, I also think there's more to Adobe than images/PDFs =P Your IIS/site config automation ideas were awesome and I always +1'd them. I hope those make it into CF one day. I'm unsure if I recall the DOM reading functions - but I'm sure they're good (you have good ideas). Regarding "product for entrepreneurs", yes, it's exactly in that spirit that I've logged this and the related tickets =) Thanks!, -Aaron
