L_TransformFile

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_INT EXT_FUNCTION L_TransformFile(pszFileSrc, pszFileDst, uTransform, pfnCallback, pUserData, pLoadOptions)

L_TCHAR L_FAR * pszFileSrc;	/* name of the source file */
L_TCHAR L_FAR * pszFileDst;	/* name of the destination file */
L_UINT uTransform;	/* the transformation to perform */
TRANSFORMFILECALLBACK pfnCallback;	/* optional callback function */
L_VOID L_FAR * pUserData;	/* pointer to more parameters for the callback */
pLOADFILEOPTION pLoadOptions;	/* pointer to optional extended load options */

Performs a lossless transformation for certain formats. Currently, only JPEG, CMP and JPEG TIFF formats are supported.

Parameter	Description
pszFileSrc	Character string containing the name of the source file.
pszFileDst	Character string containing the name of the destination file.
uTransform	Binary flags that indicate the transform to be performed. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	FILE_TRANSFORM_FLIP	[0x0001] Flip the image.
	FILE_TRANSFORM_REVERSE	[0x0002] Reverse the image.
	FILE_TRANSFORM_ROTATE90	[0x0004] Rotate the image clockwise by 90 degrees.
	FILE_TRANSFORM_ROTATE180	[0x0008] Rotate the image clockwise by 180 degrees.
	FILE_TRANSFORM_ROTATE270	[0x000C] Rotate the image clockwise by 270 degrees.
	0	Do nothing.
pfnCallback	Optional callback function for processing custom markers. (This is useful for rotating JPEG files only). When transforming JPEG files, the function will enumerate all the markers contained in the file and it will pass them to this callback. The user has the ability to control the transformation for all the markers. For additional information on JPEG markers, please consult the JPEG specification.
	$image\sqrblit.gif$ If you do not provide a callback function, use NULL as the value of this parameter and no JPEG markers will be transformed.
	$image\sqrblit.gif$ If you do provide a callback function, use the function pointer as the value of this parameter.
	The callback function must adhere to the function prototype described in TRANSFORMFILECALLBACK Function.
pUserData	Void pointer that you can use to pass one or more additional parameters that the callback function needs.
	To use this feature, assign a value to a variable or create a structure that contains as many fields as you need. Then, in this parameter, pass the address of the variable or structure, casting it to L_VOID L_FAR . The callback function, which receives the address in its own pUserData* parameter, can cast it to a pointer of the appropriate data type to access your variable or structure.
	If the additional parameters are not needed, you can pass NULL in this parameter.
pLoadOptions	Pointer to optional extended load options. Pass NULL to use the default load options. This is useful only for transforming JPEG TIFF files. The load options will specify the page to transform.

Returns

SUCCESS	The function was successful.
< 1	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

Only one of the rotate flags can be specified.

The files transformed by this function will be read transformed by other applications capable of reading these file formats.

JPEG and Exif JPEG stamps are transformed according to the flags specified in uTransform. Please note that some JPEG stamps will not be transformed by this function. Specifically, stamps stored in markers other than APP0 and APP1 will not be transformed. Use the TRANSFORMFILECALLBACK function to handle these cases. For example, if a stamp is in the APP14 marker, check for this in the TRANSFORMFILECALLBACK function and write your own stamp using L_WriteFileStamp.

For JPEG files, the size of the image might be changed. This can happen when the image width or height is not a multiple of 8.

The transformation is lossless. It is better than loading the image, transforming it using L_RotateBitmap, L_FlipBitmap or L_ReverseBitmap and resaving it. Repeated load and save process will cause image degradation, but calling this function will not cause any image degradation.

The rotation transformations are performed before the flip/reverse operations.
