    IG_DIB_channel_depth_get
    In This Topic

    This function returns the bit depth of the channel specified by the Index parameter.

    Declaration:

     
    Copy Code
    AT_INT ACCUAPI IG_DIB_channel_depth_get(
            HIGDIBINFO hDIB, 
            AT_INT Index
    );
    

    Arguments:

    Name Type Description
    hDIB HIGDIBINFO DIB info handle.
    Index AT_INT Index of channel of which to return bit depth.

    Return Value:

    Returns specified channel's bit depth.

    Supported Raster Image Formats:

    All pixel formats supported by ImageGear for C and C++.

    Sample:

    None

    Example:

     
    Copy Code
    AT_ERRCOUNT nErrcount;  /* Number of errors on stack */
    HIGDIBINFO hDIBInfo;    /* DIB info handle */
    HIGEAR hImage;          /* HIGEAR handle of image */
    AT_INT depth;           /* Returned depth of first channel */
    nErrcount = IG_image_DIB_info_get(hImage, &hDIBInfo);
    depth = IG_DIB_channel_depth_get(hDIBInfo, 0);
    

    Remarks:

    For example, if you had a typical 24-bit RGB image with three 8-bit channels, you could specify 0, 1, or 2 for the index and the return value would be 8.
