L_UCHAR* pBuffer;

/* pointer to the input buffer */

L_INT nWidth;

/* image width, in pixels */

L_INT nBitsPerPixelSrc;

/* input bits per pixel */

L_INT nBitsPerPixelDst;

/* output bits per pixel */

L_INT nOrderSrc;

/* input color order */

L_INT nOrderDst;

L_RGBQUAD* pPaletteDst;

/* pointer to the palette for the converted data */

Converts data in the specified buffer to the specified bits per pixel and color order. You can convert from any bits per pixel to any bits per pixel.

Parameter

Description

pBuffer

Pointer to the input buffer.

nWidth

Image width, in pixels.

nBitsPerPixelSrc

Input bits per pixel. Possible values are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 16, 24, 32, 48, and 64.

nBitsPerPixelDst

Output bits per pixel. Use 0 for 8-bit grayscale.

nOrderSrc

The input color order. Possible values are:

 

Value

Meaning

 

ORDER_RGB

[0] The input colors are in red-green-blue order.

 

ORDER_BGR

[1] The input colors are in blue-green-red order.

 

ORDER_GRAY

[2] 12, 16 or 32-bit grayscale image. 12, 16 and 32-bit grayscale images are only supported in Document and Medical Imaging toolkits.

 

0

The data is 8 bits per pixel or less.

 

ORDER_ROMM

[5] The input colors are in ROMM order. ROMM only supports 24 and 48-bit images.

nOrderDst

The output color order. Possible values are:

 

Value

Meaning

 

ORDER_RGB

[0] The output colors are in red-green-blue order.

 

ORDER_BGR

[1] The output colors are in blue-green-red order.

 

ORDER_GRAY

[2] 12, 16 or 32-bit grayscale image. 12, 16 and 32-bit grayscale images are only supported in Document and Medical Imaging toolkits.

 

0

The data is 8 bits per pixel or less.

 

ORDER_ROMM

[5] The output colors are in ROMM order. ROMM only supports 24 and 48-bit images.

pPaletteSrc

Pointer to the palette for the existing data, before conversion. If the data is converted from 16 or 24 bits per pixel, use NULL for no palette.

pPaletteDst

Pointer to the palette for the converted data. If the data is converted to 16 or 24 bits per pixel, use NULL for no palette.

Returns

SUCCESS

The function was successful.

< 1

An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

Support for 12, 16 and 32-bit grayscale images is only available in the Document and Medical Imaging toolkits.

The conversion uses only one buffer, which must be large enough to hold the data before and after conversion.

Image data that is 8 bits per pixel or less must use a palette, and this function can use such data as input, output, or both. Therefore, you may need to specify the palette for the input, or for the output, or both.

Example

This example loads a temporary bitmap at 8 bits per pixel, creates a new bitmap at 16 bits per pixel, and uses L_ConvertBuffer to convert data from the temporary bitmap to the new one.
