Allocates three arrays and updates them with the R, G and B profile for each pixel in the specified line.

Parameter

Description

FirstPoint

POINT structure that contains the starting point for the line.

SecondPoint

POINT structure that contains the end point for the line. Information for this point is included in the arrays.

ppRed

Pointer to a pointer to be updated with an array that contains the red values for the line specified by FirstPoint and SecondPoint. A memory buffer for this array is allocated by the function. When the array is no longer needed, it should be freed by the user by calling the GlobalFreePtr macro.

ppGreen

Pointer to a pointer to be updated with an array that contains the green values for the line specified by FirstPoint and SecondPoint. A memory buffer for this array is allocated by the function. When the array is no longer needed, it should be freed by the user by calling the GlobalFreePtr macro.

ppBlue

Pointer to a pointer to be updated with an array that contains the blue values for the line specified by FirstPoint and SecondPoint. A memory buffer for this array is allocated by the function. When the array is no longer needed, it should be freed by the user by calling the GlobalFreePtr macro.

uFlags

Reserved for future use. Must be 0.

Returns

SUCCESS

The function was successful.

< 1

An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

This function allocates memory buffers for the three arrays using the GlobalAllocPtr macro. When the buffers are no longer needed, they should be freed by calling the GlobalFreePtr macro. If the GlobalFreePtr macro is not supported by the compiler, the buffers can be freed using the following code:

void MyGlobalFreePtr(void *ptr)
{
HGLOBAL hGlobal = (HGLOBAL) GlobalHandle(ptr);
GlobalUnlock(hGlobal);
GlobalFree(hGlobal);
}

The range of returned values will be from 0 - 65535 for 64-bit, 48-bit and 16-bit grayscale images;  from -32768 to 32767 for signed images; and from 0 - 4095 for 12-bit grayscale images. Otherwise, it is from 0 to 255.

This function supports 12 and 16-bit grayscale and 48 and 64-bit color images. Support for 12 and 16-bit grayscale and 48 and 64-bit color images is available only in the Document/Medical toolkits.

This function does not support 32-bit grayscale images. It returns the error code ERROR_GRAY32_UNSUPPORTED if a 32-bit grayscale image is passed to this function.
