Parameters

width

The image being compressed width in pixels.

height

The image being compressed height in pixels.

bitsPerPixel

The image being compressed bits/pixel value.

order

The image being compressed byte order.

viewPerspective

The image being compressed view perspective value.

inputDataLength

Size in bytes of the input image data.

outputData

Pointer to unmanaged memory buffer will be filled with the compressed data.

outputDataLength

Size of outputData in bytes.

compression

Type of compression to use. Valid values are:

Value	Meaning
CodecsCompression.Cmp	LEAD CMP compression format
CodecsCompression.Jpeg444	JPEG File Interchange Format using YUV 4:4:4 color spacing
CodecsCompression.Jpeg422	JPEG File Interchange Format using YUV 4:2:2 color spacing
CodecsCompression.Jpeg411	JPEG File Interchange Format using YUV 4:1:1 color spacing
CodecsCompression.TifJpeg444	JPEG JTIF using YUV 4:4:4 color spacing
CodecsCompression.TifJpeg422	JPEG JTIF using YUV 4:2:2 color spacing
CodecsCompression.TifJpeg411	JPEG JTIF using YUV 4:1:1 color spacing
CodecsCompression.Lead0	LEAD 1 bit, lossless compression
CodecsCompression.Lead1	LEAD 1 bit, excellent compression
CodecsCompression.TiffCcitt	TIFF CCITT
CodecsCompression.TiffCcittG3Fax1Dim	CCITT Group 3 one dimensional
CodecsCompression.TiffCcittG3Fax2Dim	CCITT Group 3 two dimensional
CodecsCompression.TiffCcittG4Fax	CCITT Group 4 two dimensional

callback

The callback method responsible for writing or handling the compressed data.

This method initializes the buffered compression engine. The compression is then carried out using the Compress method. It is ended by the StopCompress method.

If order is set to to RasterByteOrder.Bgr and viewPerspective is RasterViewPerspective.TopLeft then the data that you put into the input buffer must be RasterByteOrder.Bgr and loaded from top left.

The compression process starts after the first call to Compress. The callback is called when the output buffer is filled with compressed data or after completing the compression process. callback is responsible for emptying the output buffer - storing it, sending it, or doing other processing.

The following is a flow chart that shows the relationship of these methods:

Call StopCompress to end the compression process started by a call to StartCompress.

The quality factor of the compressed data is obtained as follows:

Format	Quality factor used
CodecsCompression.Cmp	CodecsJpegSaveOptions.QualityFactor and CodecsJpegSaveOptions.CmpQualityFactorPredefined
CodecsCompression.Jpeg444	CodecsJpegSaveOptions.QualityFactor
CodecsCompression.Jpeg422	CodecsJpegSaveOptions.QualityFactor
CodecsCompression.Jpeg411	CodecsJpegSaveOptions.QualityFactor
CodecsCompression.TifJpeg444	CodecsJpegSaveOptions.QualityFactor
CodecsCompression.TifJpeg422	CodecsJpegSaveOptions.QualityFactor
CodecsCompression.TifJpeg411	CodecsJpegSaveOptions.QualityFactor
CodecsCompression.Lead0	Not used
CodecsCompression.Lead1	Not used
CodecsCompression.TiffCcitt	Not used
CodecsCompression.TiffCcittG3Fax1Dim	Not used
CodecsCompression.TiffCcittG3Fax2Dim	Not used
CodecsCompression.TiffCcittG4Fax	Not used

This method does not support signed data images.
