AT_ERRCOUNT ACCUAPI IG_image_channel_remove( HIGEAR hIGear, AT_UINT position );

Arguments:

Name	Type	Description
hIGear	HIGEAR	HIGEAR handle of image.
position	AT_UINT	Index of channel to remove.

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:

All pixel formats supported by ImageGear Professional, except:

Images with 1 channel.

Example:

	Copy Code
/* Alter a 24-bit RGB image to use the red channel data for both red and blue channels / AT_ERRCOUNT nErrcount; / Number of errors on stack / HIGEAR hImage; / Handle of source image / AT_CHANNEL_REF channel; / Channel to add */ nErrcount = IG_load_file("test.jpg", &hImage); channel.hImage = hImage; channel.uNumber = 0; nErrcount = IG_image_channel_add(hImage, 3, &channel); nErrcount = IG_image_channel_remove(hImage, 2); nErrcount = IG_save_file(hImage, "test.bmp", IG_SAVE_BMP_UNCOMP); IG_image_delete(hImage);
