| Name | Type | Description | 
| hImage | HIG_PDE_IMAGE | Image to examine. | 
| lpbIsEncoded | LPAT_PDF_BOOL | TRUE if IG_PDE_image_get_data returns encoded data; FALSE otherwise. Returns FALSE for XObject images. | 
| lpnEncodedLen | LPDWORD | Length of the encoded data-if the data is encoded, that is, if lpbIsEncoded returns TRUE. | 
Error count.
This function does not process image pixels.
lpbIsEncoded always returns FALSE for XObject images; XObject image data can be obtained from IG_PDE_image_get_data or IG_PDE_image_get_data_stream, either encoded or decoded.
Only if IG_PDE_image_create is used to explicitly create a new image using encoded data does lpbIsEncoded returns TRUE.
