Built-in Conversion (Delphi 4.0)
The Color Conversion API provides built-in conversion. To do a built-in conversion, follow the steps below:
1. |
At the beginning of the Unit1 file, add LTDLLUNT, LTDLLTYP, and LTDLLDEF to the uses section. |
2. |
Use the following code to perform the built-in conversion: |
function TForm1.Builtin_RGBToLAB({in}pSrcRGB, {out}pDstLAB: Pointer; {in}nWidth, {in}nHeight: Integer) : {ret}Integer;
var
ClrHandle : THandle; (* color handle *)
params : CONVERSION_PARAMS; (* conversion params *)
WPoint : WHITEPOINT ; (* white point definition *)
ret : Integer; (* return value *)
begin
(*
******************************************************************
* Simple conversion from RGB to CIELab using built-in conversion *
* Parameters : *
* pSrcRGB : 24 bit RGB data, this is the input image data *
* pDstLAB : 24 bit CIELab data, this is the output image data *
* nWidth : Width of the image *
* nHeight : Height of the image *
* Returns SUCCESS when successful or error code else *
