Arguments:

| hIGear | HIGEAR | HIGEAR handle of image. |
| hIBackgrnd | HIGEAR | HIGEAR handle to a background image. |
| nCreateMode | AT_MODE | An integer value of type AT_MODE that tells ImageGear what bit depth the alpha channel should have. The possible settings for this variable, which are defined in accucnst.h are: IG_ALPHA_CREATE_1 and IG_ALPHA_CREATE_8. |

Return Value:
Returns the number of ImageGear errors that occurred during this function call. If there are no errors, the return value is IGE_SUCCESS.

Sample:

Remarks:
This function creates an alpha channel.
The difference from function IG_image_create_alpha() is that newly created alpha channel is not associated with any HIGEAR - it's only created and returned via last parameter lphAlpha. Other parameters have the same meaning as those of IG_image_create_alpha().
