FILEINFO

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

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

Member

Data Type

Description

Format

L_INT

File format. For possible values, refer to Files To Be Included With Your Application.

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_INT32

Size of the file on disk (in bytes).

SizeMem

L_INT32

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 multipage file. To determine the total number of pages in a file, call LFile::GetInfo with uFlags set to FILEINFO_TOTALPAGES.

TotalPages

L_INT

The total number of pages present in a file. To update this field, call LFile::GetInfo with uFlags set to FILEINFO_TOTALPAGES. If you do not want this field updated, call LFile::GetInfo 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_INT32

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

COLORREF

Global background color for animation playback (FILEINFO Flags)

GlobalPalette[256]

RGBQUAD

Global palette for animation playback (FILEINFO Flags).

IFD

L_UINT32

Offset within a TIFF file where a page starts. This member is updated when Lfile::GetInfo 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. 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

Channels

L_INT

Number of channles in the file.  If this value is 0, then the file does not contain channels.  Only PSD files can have channels.

bIsDocFile

L_BOOL

TRUE if the image file or stream is a document format, FALSE otherwise.

When the value of this member is TRUE, then the image file or stream passed to the L_FileInfo is a document file such as PDF or XPS and dDocPageWidth, dDocPageHeight and uDocUnit will contain the original document logical size. The physical load (rasterization size) is calculated based on the current rasterization values and is stored in Width, Height, XResolution and YResolution.

When the value of this member is FALSE, then the image file or stream is a raster image such as JPEG or TIFF. These files have physical size and dDocPageWidth, dDocPageHeight and uDocUnit should not be used.

dDocPageWidth

L_DOUBLE

The logical width of the document. This value is in uDocUnit.

The logical width and height of the document is the original size before rasterization. LEADTOOLS usually returns the logical size in inches.

dDocPageWidth should only be used if the value of bIsDocFile is TRUE.

dDocPageHeight

L_DOUBLE

The logical width and height of the document is the original size before rasterization. LEADTOOLS usually returns the logical size in inches.

dDocPageHeight should only be used if the value of bIsDocFile is TRUE.

uDocUnit

RASTERIZEDOC_UNIT

The unit for dDocPageWidth and dDocPageHeight. It can be one of the following values:

 

 

Value

Meaning

 

 

RASTERIZEDOC_UNIT_PIXEL

[0] Page width and height is in pixels.

 

 

RASTERIZEDOC_UNIT_INCH

[1] Page width and height is in inches.

 

 

RASTERIZEDOC_UNIT_MILLIMETER

[2] Page width and height is in millimeters.

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.

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.
