FILEINFO

The FILEINFO structure, which is loaded by the L_FileInfo function, provides information about the specified file.

Note: The LTFIL.H header file describes the entire FILEINFO structure.

Member	Data Type	Description
uStructSize	L_UINT	Size of this structure in bytes, for versioning. Use the sizeof() macro to calculate this value.
Format	L_INT	File format. For possible values, refer to Formats of Input Files.
Name[_MAX_FNAME+_MAX_EXT]	L_TCHAR	A character array containing the null-terminated string that is the file name. The name is truncated if it exceeds _MAX_FNAME + _MAX_EXT characters.
Width	L_INT	Image width, in pixels.
Height	L_INT	Image height, in pixels.
BitsPerPixel	L_INT	Bits per pixel.
SizeDisk	L_SSIZE_T	Size of the file on disk (in bytes).
SizeMem	L_SSIZE_T	Amount of memory (in bytes) required to load the file.
Compression[20]	L_TCHAR	A 20-character array containing the null-terminated string that describes the compression method.
ViewPerspective	L_INT	Where the beginning of the image is stored. Valid values are TOP_LEFT, BOTTOM_LEFT, TOP_RIGHT, BOTTOM_RIGHT, TOP_LEFT90, and TOP_LEFT270. For descriptions, refer to Accounting for View Perspective.
Order	L_INT	Color order of the bitmap. This field is meaningful if the image does not have a palette. It indicates whether the color values are in red-green-blue or blue-green-red order. Possible values are ORDER_RGB, ORDER_BGR and ORDER_GRAY.
PageNumber	L_INT	The page number in a multi-page file. To determine the total number of pages in a file, call L_FileInfo with uFlags set to FILEINFO_TOTALPAGES.
TotalPages	L_INT	The total number of pages present in a file. To update this field, call L_FileInfo with uFlags set to FILEINFO_TOTALPAGES. If you do not want this field updated, call L_FileInfo with uFlags set to 0.
XResolution	L_INT	Horizontal resolution, in dots per inch. Some file formats save this value in the file header.
YResolution	L_INT	Vertical resolution, in dots per inch. Some file formats save this value in the file header.
Flags	L_UINT	For possible values, refer to FILEINFO Flags.
GlobalLoop	L_UINT	Global animation loop count. 0 = infinity. This field is valid only if the FILEINFO_HAS_GLOBALLOOP flag is set.
GlobalWidth	L_INT	Global width for animation playback
GlobalHeight	L_INT	Global height for animation playback
GlobalBackground	L_COLORREF	Global background color for animation playback (FILEINFO Flags)
GlobalPalette[256]	L_RGBQUAD	Global palette for animation playback (FILEINFO Flags).
IFD	L_SIZE_T	Offset within a TIFF file where a page starts. This member is updated when L_FileInfo is called.
Layers	L_INT	Number of layers in the file. If this value is 0, then the file does not contain any layers. Only PSD files can have layers.
ColorSpace	L_INT	Color space of the file. The possible values are:
		Value	Meaning
		COLORSPACE_BGR	[0] Color space is RGB or BGR
		COLORSPACE_YUV	[1] Color space is YUV or YCbCr
		COLORSPACE_CMYK	[2] Color space is CMYK
		COLORSPACE_CIELAB	[3] Color space is CIELab

Comments

pFILEINFO is a pointer to a FILEINFO structure. Where the function parameter type is pFILEINFO, you can declare a FILEINFO variable, update the structure's fields, and pass the variable's address in the parameter. Declaring a pFILEINFO variable is necessary only if your program requires a pointer.

Some functions which take this structure as a parameter require that the structure must be initialized prior to the function call. You must set the uStructSize member to the total size, in bytes, of the structure. Use the sizeof() macro to calculate this value. Functions that do not require the structure be initialized will take the total size of the structure, in bytes, as an additional function parameter.

Note:

For more information about loading and saving large TIFF files faster, refer to Loading and Saving Large TIFF Files.

Please note that if FILEINFO.Format is FILE_JPEG or FILE_TIF_JPEG and FILEINFO.BitsPerPixel is 8, then the image is 4:0:0 color space, not 4:4:4 color space.

Currently only PSD files support layers.
