L_NITFCreate

#include "ltntf.h"

L_LTNTF_API L_INT L_NITFCreate(phNitf, pszFileName)

pHNITF phNitf;	pointer to a NITF file handle
L_TCHAR * pszFileName;	file name

Creates an empty NITF file or parses an existing NITF file.

Parameter	Description
phNitf	Pointer to a NITF file handle.
pszFileName	Character string that contains the name of the NITF file to be parsed.

Returns

SUCCESS	The function was successful.
< 1	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

L_NITFCreate must be called before calling any other L_NITFXXX functions.

To create an empty NITF file, pass the pszFileName parameter as NULL.

To parse an existing NITF file, pass a valid file name to the pszFileName parameter.

To save the created NITF file, call the L_NITFSaveFile function.

When the NITF file handle is no longer needed, it should be freed by calling L_NITFDestroy function. For every call to L_NITFCreate there must be a call to L_NITFDestroy.

// This example will create an empty NITF file and add image, graphic and text segments 
#define MAKE_IMAGE_PATH(pFileName) TEXT("C:\\Users\\Public\\Documents\\LEADTOOLS Images\\")pFileName

{

   nRet =L_NITFCreate(&hNitf, NULL); 
   if(nRet !=SUCCESS) 
      return nRet; 
   // Load and append Image segment 
   nRet =L_LoadBitmap(MAKE_IMAGE_PATH(TEXT("cannon.jpg")), &Bitmap, sizeof(BITMAPHANDLE), 24, ORDER_BGR, NULL, NULL); 
   if(nRet !=SUCCESS) 
      return nRet;

   // Append Text segment 
   nRet =L_NITFAppendTextSegment(hNitf, MAKE_IMAGE_PATH(TEXT("2.txt")));
