L_NITFGetVectorHandle

#include "ltntf.h"

L_LTNTF_API pVECTORHANDLE L_NITFGetVectorHandle(hNitf, uIndex)

HNITF hNitf;	/* handle to an existing NITF file */
L_UINT32 uIndex;	/* index of the graphics data */

Gets the handle for the graphics data at a specified index in the graphic segment. This function is available in the Document Toolkit.

Parameter	Description
hNitf	Handle to an existing NITF file, created by calling the L_NITFCreate function.
uIndex	A zero-based index of the graphic data in the hNitf handle.

Returns

!NULL	The function was successful and a vector handle will be returned.
NULL	An error occurred.

Comments

To set the handle for the graphic data in the graphic segment in the NITF file at specified index, call the L_NITFSetVectorHandle function.

When the returned graphics data handle is no longer needed, it should be freed by calling L_VecFree function.

For every successful call to L_NITFGetVectorHandle that returns a valid graphics data handle, there must be a call to L_VecFree to free this returned handle.
