Declaration:

 
Copy Code
AT_ERRCOUNT ACCUAPI IG_DIB_legacy_bit_depth_get(
        HIGEAR hIGear, 
        LPAT_INT lpBitsPerPixel 
);

Arguments:

Name Type Description
hIGear HIGEAR HIGEAR handle of image.

Copy Code
AT_ERRCOUNT nErrcount;  /* Number of errors on stack */
HIGEAR hImage;          /* Handle of image */
AT_INT bpp;             /* Image bit depth */
nErrcount = IG_DIB_legacy_bit_depth_get(hImage, &bpp);
/* bpp could be 1, 4, 8, 9-16, 24, or 32 */
