    IG_mpf_page_delete
    In This Topic

    This function deletes the nCount number of pages starting with the nStartPage.

    Declaration:

     
    Copy Code
    AT_ERRCOUNT IG_mpf_page_delete( 
            [IN] HMIGEAR hMIGear, 
            [IN] UINT nStartPage, 
            [IN] UINT nCount
    );
    

    Arguments:

    Name Type Description
    hMIGear HMIGEAR Handle to the allocated multi-page image.
    nStartPage UINT The first page to be deleted.
    nCount UINT Number of pages to delete.

    Return Value:

    Returns the number of ImageGear errors that occurred during this function call. If there are no errors, the return value is IGE_SUCCESS.

    Supported Raster Image Formats:

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

    Sample:

    MFC Multipage

    Example:

     
    Copy Code
    HMIGEAR  hMIGear;       /* handle to multi-page image */
    AT_ERRCOUNT      nErrCount = IGE_SUCCESS; /* will hold returned error count  */
    UINT nPageCount = 0; /* number of pages that should get from multi-page image */
    UINT i;
    HIGEAR hIGear;      /* handle of an image */
     ...
    /* initialize multi-page image and assign it with external file */
    nErrCount = IG_mpf_page_count_get( hMIGear, &nPageCount );
    for ( i = 0; i < nPageCount; i++ )
            if (!nErrCount)
                    if ( !IG_mpi_page_is_valid(hMIGear, i) && (!nErrCount) )
                            nErrCount = IG_mpf_page_delete( hMIGear, i, 1 );
    

    Remarks:

    This function then shifts pages with higher numbers to fill the space in the external file associated with the multi-page image using function IG_mpi_file_open(). The multi-page image itself is not changed. Either the multi-page image, or in the external file pages are numbered starting with 0.

    Not all format filters are supported by this operation. Use the IG_fltr_info_get() function to obtain all information about the supported features for a particular format filter.
