    In This Topic

    This function creates a new pixel object based on specified attributes.

    Declaration:

     
    Copy Code
    HIGPIXEL ACCUAPI IG_pixel_create(
            AT_INT channelCount,
            AT_DEPTH bitsPerChannel
    );
    

    Arguments:

    Name Type Description
    channelCount AT_INT Number of channels to allocate.
    bitsPerChannel AT_DEPTH Bits per channel to allocate.

    Return Value:

    Handle of new pixel object.

    Supported Raster Image Formats:

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

    Sample:

    Pixel Access

    Example:

     
    Copy Code
    AT_ERRCOUNT nErrcount;  /* Number of errors on stack */
    HIGEAR hImage;          /* Handle of image */
    HIGPIXEL hPix;          /* Handle of pixel */
    AT_INT ChannelCount;    /* Number of channels in image */
    AT_INT BitsPerChannel;  /* Bits per channel in image */
    nErrcount = IG_load_file("test.jpg", &hImage);
    nErrcount = IG_image_channel_count_get(hImage, &ChannelCount);
    nErrcount = IG_image_bits_per_channel_get(hImage, &BitsPerChannel);
    hPix = IG_pixel_create(ChannelCount, BitsPerChannel);
    /* Pixel is created using same attributes as image */
    IG_pixel_delete(hPix);
    IG_image_delete(hImage);
    

    Remarks:

    The number of bits per channel is the amount to allocate, and it must be 8, 16, or 32.
