    IG_pixel_bits_per_channel_get
    In This Topic

    This function returns the number of bits (8, 16, or 32) allocated for storing pixel data for a single channel in the given pixel object.

    Declaration:

     
    Copy Code
    AT_DEPTH ACCUAPI IG_pixel_bits_per_channel_get(HIGPIXEL hPixel);
    

    Arguments:

    Name Type Description
    hPixel HIGPIXEL Handle of pixel object.

    Return Value:

    Return value is the same for all channels and represents the maximal bit depth aligned to all bytes.

    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 */
    HIGEAR hImage;          /* Handle of image */
    HIGPIXEL hPix;          /* Handle of pixel */
    AT_DEPTH bitsPerChan;   /* Number of bits per channel */
    nErrcount = IG_load_file("test.jpg", &hImage);
    nErrcount = IG_DIB_pix_get(hImage, 0, 0, &hPix);
    bitsPerChan = IG_pixel_bits_per_channel_get(hPix);
    IG_pixel_delete(hPix);
    IG_image_delete(hImage);
