### Parameters

| curl | The CURL session handle. | $curl |  |
| FileName | The desired file name. | test.png | Optional |

### Result

The result value which you can assign to a container field.

### Description

Returns the result of the transaction as PNG image.  
Make sure the data is a PNG. The plugin does not verify whether result is a PNG file. But if it is one, it sets size properties and creates a preview JPEG so FileMaker can preview it.  
Version 5.2 and later can use the filename from URL if you don't provide one yourself.
