IG_image_DIB_import
API Reference Guide > Core Component API Reference > Core Component Functions Reference > Image DIB Functions > IG_image_DIB_import

This function creates a new HIGEAR image from a Windows DIB stored in memory.

Declaration:

 
Copy Code
AT_ERRCOUNT ACCUAPI IG_image_DIB_import(
   const AT_DIB* lpDIB,
   LPHIGEAR lphIGear
);

Arguments:

Name Type Description
lpDIB const AT_DIB* DIB to be imported.
lphIGear LPHIGEAR HIGEAR handle of image created from imported DIB.

Return Value:

Returns 0 if successful. Otherwise, returns the number of ImageGear errors that occurred during this function call.

Supported Raster Image Formats:

Example:

 
Copy Code
AT_ERRCOUNT nErrcount;  // Number of errors on stack
HIGEAR hIGear;          // Handle of image
HIGEAR hIGearImported;  // Handle of the imported image
AT_INT nDibSize;        // Exported DIB size
AT_DIB_EXPORT_OPTIONS Options; // Options for DIB export
LPAT_DIB lpDIBBuffer;    // Buffer to export DIB

// Load image file "picture.bmp" from working directory
nErrcount = IG_load_file("picture.bmp", &hIGear);

if(nErrcount == 0)
{
    // Get exported DIB size, allocate memory buffer and export DIB
    memset(&Options, 0, sizeof(AT_DIB_EXPORT_OPTIONS));
    Options.Format = IG_DIB_EXPORT_FORMAT_WINDOWS;
    Options.UseAlpha = FALSE;
    IG_image_DIB_export_size_calc(hIGear, &nDibSize, &Options);
    lpDIBBuffer = (LPAT_DIB)malloc(nDibSize);
    nErrcount = IG_image_DIB_export(hIGear, lpDIBBuffer, nDibSize, &Options);
    if(nErrcount == 0)
    {
        // Import the DIB into the new image
        nErrcount = IG_image_DIB_import(lpDIBBuffer, &hIGearImported);
        //...
        // Destroy the image
        IG_image_delete(hIGearImported);
    }
    // Delete memory
    free(lpDIBBuffer);
    // Destroy the image
    IG_image_delete(hIGear);
}

Remarks:

This function copies pixels to the new HIGEAR. Application continues to own lpDIB after calling this function.
