This function loads an image from the specified file into memory and creates a HIGEAR handle for this image. The function allows skipping automatic detection of the file format and instead using the specified format ID.

 Copy Code |
|
|---|---|
AT_ERRCOUNT ACCUAPI IG_fltr_load_file_format_W(
AT_MODE nFormat,
const LPAT_WCHAR lpwszFileName,
UINT nPage,
LPHIGEAR lphIGear
);
|
|
Arguments:
| Name | Type | Description |
| nFormat | AT_MODE | A constant indicating the file format of the input file. See enumIGFormats for possible values. Set to IG_FORMAT_UNKNOWN to let ImageGear detect the file format. |
| lpwszFileName | const LPAT_WCHAR | Path and name of the file, specified as a wide string (UTF-16) to load. The path can be absolute or relative. |
| nPage | UINT | Page number to load if this is a multi-page file. Note that page numbers begin at 1, not 0. Set nPage to 1 if this is not a multi-page file. |
| lphIGear | LPHIGEAR | Pointer to the HIGEAR object in which to return the ImageGear handle of the image. |
Return Value:
Returns 0 if successful. Otherwise, returns the number of ImageGear errors that occurred during this function call.
Supported Raster Image Formats:
All pixel formats supported by ImageGear Professional.
Sample:
None
Example:
| Copy Code |
|
|---|---|
HIGEAR hIGear; // Will hold handle returned by IG_fltr_load_file AT_ERRCOUNT nErrCount; // Count of errs on stack upon ret from func*/ // Load the selected image nErrCount = IG_fltr_load_file_format_W(IG_FORMAT_TIF, L"picture.tif", 1, &hIGear); if(nErrCount == 0) { // ... // Delete the image IG_image_delete(hIGear); } |
|
Remarks:
If nFormat = IG_FORMAT_UNKNOWN then ImageGear attempts to detect the file format automatically, and then loads the image. Otherwise, ImageGear skips the file format detection and loads the file with the specified format filter.
