Arguments:
| Name | Type | Description |
| hIGear | HIGEAR | HIGEAR handle to the image. |
| XResNumerator | LONG | Sets the x resolution numerator. |
| XResDenominator | LONG | Sets the x resolution denominator. |
| YResNumerator | LONG | Sets the y resolution numerator. |
| YResDenominator | LONG | Sets the y resolution denominator. |
| nUnits | AT_MODE | Sets the resolution units for the image. See enumIGResolutionUnits for possible values. |
Return Value:
Returns the number of ImageGear errors that occurred during this function call.
Supported Raster Image Formats:
All pixel formats supported by ImageGear Professional.
Sample:
Color, Print
Example:
See the example under the IG_image_resolution_get() function.
Remarks:
ImageGear stores resolution as a pair or rational numbers and a unit specification. This is the method used by several image file formats, which allows storing precise resolution values, rather than their double or float approximations. To set the X resolution of the image to 300 DPI, the numerator can be 300 and the denominator 1 (900 and 3 would also work).
When an image is saved to a file, resolution will be converted when necessary to match the units supported by the file format.
ImageGear uses resolution information when printing the image. The ratio of image resolutions (X and Y) can also be used by ImageGear when displaying the image. Use IG_dspl_PPM_correct_set to specify whether ImageGear should use the ratio of image resolutions when displaying and printing the image.
Changing these values does not alter the number of pixels or colors in the actual image in any way. Use IG_IP_resize() and IG_IP_crop() to resize or crop an image.
Use IG_image_resolution_get to obtain the image resolution information.
Use IG_util_resolution_units_convert to convert resolution to different units.
