Comments

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

WHITEPOINT is used with the CONVERSION_PARAMS structure.

Any of the predefined white points can be used or custom x and y values can be used in a xyY system with CIELAB_CUSTOM, Y is always 1.0.
