This function assigns a file format to the raster entity to allow saving it automatically as a reference in SVG images.

Declaration:

AT_ERRCOUNT ACCUAPI IG_vect_raster_set_fileformat(
      HIG_VECT_ENTITY hEntity, 
      long nFormat
);

Arguments:

Return Value:

Returns 0 if successful. Otherwise, returns the number of ImageGear errors that occurred during this function call.

Supported Raster Image Formats:

This function does not process image pixels.

Sample:

None

Remarks:

If raster file name is an empty string, or starts with "data:image", SVG filter embeds raster data to the image file, otherwise it saves it in a separate file, using the format specified by IG_vect_raster_set_fileformat, and references it in the vector file.

According to the SVG specification, readers shall support at least PNG and JPEG formats.
