LFile::LoadOffset

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LFile::LoadOffset(fd, nOffsetBegin, nBytesToLoad, nBitsPerPixel=0, nOrder=ORDER_BGRORGRAY, uFlags=LOADFILE_ALLOCATE|LOADFILE_STORE, pLoadFileOption=NULL, pFileInfo=NULL)

Loads an image from a file letting you specify the location of the image data within the file. This enables you to load an image file that is embedded in another file.

Returns

Comments

This function supports the LFile::LoadFileOffsetCallBack virtual function.

Note: More information is available in the LOADFILEOPTION structure.

Support for 12 and 16-bit grayscale images is only available in the Document/Medical toolkits.

The location of the image is specified as shown in the following simple illustration:

Note: For information on loading and saving large TIFF files faster, refer to Loading and Saving Large TIFF Files.
