IG_util_MMX_usage

This function tells ImageGear whether or not to optimize for MMX hardware.

Declaration:

	Copy Code
AT_ERRCOUNT LACCUAPI IG_util_MMX_usage_set(BOOL bMMXUsage);

Arguments:

Name	Type	Description
bMMXUsage	BOOL	Set to TRUE to turn on MMX optimization; FALSE to turn off MMX optimization.

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.

Supported Raster Image Formats:

This function does not process image pixels.

The JPEG sample demonstrates loading images with or without MMX support.

Example:

	Copy Code
AT_ERRCOUNT nErrcount; bMMXusage = TRUE; nErrcount = IG_util_MMX_usage_set(bMMXusage);

Remarks:

Set lpbMMXUsage to TRUE to instruct ImageGear to optimize for MMX technology if the computer contains MMX hardware.

If you set bMMXUsage = TRUE, MMX technology will be used if it is detected. If it is not detected, no error will be generated, and MMX optimization will not be used.

Currently, the JPEG Lossy Compression is the target area for optimization.
