LBuffer::CompressRows (

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LBuffer::CompressRows(LBufferSrc, nWidth, nRows)

LBuffer& LBufferSrc;	/* input LBuffer object */
L_UINT nWidth;	/* number of pixels in each row */
L_UINT nRows;	/* number of rows to process */

Performs buffer-to-buffer RLE compression of 1-bit image data. Use this function to process multiple lines of image data.

Parameter	Description
LBufferSrc	The input buffer, which contains the 1-bit image data to be compressed. The size of each row must be rounded up to a multiple of 4 bytes. Use integer math to calculate the required size of this buffer as follows: bytes required = (((nWidth + 31) &~31)/ 8) * nRows.
nWidth	The number of pixels in each row.
nRows	The number of rows to process.

Returns

> 0	The number of pixels processed.
< 1	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

The output buffer must be larger than the input buffer to accommodate the worst possible case with run-length encoding, where there are alternating black and white pixels. In most cases, however, the actual compressed data will be much smaller than the input data.

This function is useful for working with 1-bit images that are loaded in their compressed formats for faster loading and display. For more information, refer to Speeding Up 1-Bit Documents.

The parameter LBufferSrc is passed by reference, and is a required parameter.
