COLORDATATYPE

  • Article

Used by WCS functions to indicate the data type of vector content.

typedef enum
{
  COLOR_BYTE = 1,
  COLOR_WORD,
  COLOR_FLOAT,
  COLOR_S2DOT13FIXED
} COLORDATATYPE;
typedef COLORDATATYPE *PCOLORDATATYPE, *LPCOLORDATATYPE;

Elements

  • COLOR_BYTE
    Color data is stored as 8 bits per channel, with a value from 0 to 255, inclusive.
  • COLOR_WORD
    Color data is stored as 16 bits per channel, with a value from 0 to 65535, inclusive.
  • COLOR_FLOAT
    Color data is stored as 32 bits value per channel, as defined by the IEEE 32-bit floating point standard.
  • COLOR_S2DOT13FIXED
    Color data is stored as 16 bits per channel, with a fixed range of -4 to +4, inclusive. A signed format is used, with 1 bit for the sign, 2 bits for the integer portion, and 13 bits for the fractional portion.

Remarks

The PCOLORDATATYPE and LPCOLORDATATYPE data types are defined as pointers to the COLORDATATYPE enumeration:

typedef COLORDATATYPE *PCOLORDATATYPE, *LPCOLORDATATYPE;

Requirements

**  Windows Vista:** Included in Windows Vista and later.
**  Header:** Declared in Icm.h.
