AT_ERRCOUNT ACCUAPI IG_load_color_reduction_set(
   UINT nColorReduceMode
);

Arguments:

Name Type Description
nColorReduceMode UINT One of enumLoadColor enumeration values. IG_LOAD_COLOR_DEFAULT means that no color reduction is wanted.

Return Value:

/* Reduce 24-bit images to 8-bit when loading: */
AT_ERRCOUNT nErrCount = IG_load_color_reduction_set ( IG_LOAD_COLOR_8 );
