AT_ERRCOUNT ACCUAPI IG_IP_color_combine_ex ( LPHIGEAR lphIGear_result, HIGEAR hIGear1, HIGEAR hIGear2, HIGEAR hIGear3, HIGEAR hIGear4, AT_MODE color_space, AT_MODE dst_color_space ); |
Name | Type | Description |
lphIGear_result | LPHIGEAR | Far pointer to an object of type HIGEAR, to receive the HIGEAR handle of the created 24- bit image. |
hIGear1 | HIGEAR | HIGEAR handle of input image to be treated as channel 1. |
hIGear2 | HIGEAR | HIGEAR handle of input image to be treated as channel 2. |
hIGear3 | HIGEAR | HIGEAR handle of input image to be treated as channel 3. |
hIGear4 | HIGEAR | HIGEAR handle of input image to be treated as channel 4. |
nColorSpace | AT_MODE | A constant such as IG_COLOR_SPACE_RGB describing how the channels are to be merged. |
dst_color_space | AT_MODE | tells what color space output HIGEAR should have. There are 2 possible values now: RGB and CMYK. |
Returns the number of ImageGear errors that occurred during this function call.

While support for IG_IP_color_combine() is being maintained, it is recommended that you use this newer function. The additional benefit of this function is that it allows you to choose a color space for the destination image. For example, you can choose to store your destination image using the CMYK color scheme. Currently, the dst_color_space parameter can take one of the following constants as its setting: IG_COLOR_SPACE_RGBand IG_COLOR_SPACE_CMYK. In order to set it to CMYK, you must be sure that you first call IG_color_space_level_set() function with settings of IG_COLOR_SPACE_CMYK and IG_FULL_SUPPORT.
