LBitmapSettings::CreateUserMatchTable

#include "ltwrappr.h"

static L_UINT * LBitmapSettings::CreateUserMatchTable(pPalette, uColors)

LPRGBQUAD pPalette;

/* array of values that is your palette */

L_UINT uColors;

/* number of colors in your palette */

Creates a table that speeds color conversion when using a palette that you create. The table is referenced by the LBitmapBase::ColorRes function.

Parameter

Description

pPalette

The array of values that is your palette.

 

Each item in the array can have one of the following values:

 

Value

Meaning

 

Actual RGBQUAD value

Use the specified color as a fixed color.

 

RGB_RESERVED

[0x01] Leave the item blank, for possible later use.

 

RGB_EMPTY

[0x02] Let the LBitmapBase::ColorRes function fill in the color. The function supplies optimized colors to fill the RGB_EMPTY items.

uColors

The number of colors in your palette.

Returns

The pointer to the table, or NULL if the function fails.

Comments

This function is used with other functions in the following sequence:

1.

Call LBitmapSettings::CreateUserMatchTable to create the table.

2.

Call LBitmapSettings::SetUserMatchTable to make this the current table. (Having this as a separate function allows you to save tables in files and get the one you need, without creating it again.)

3.

Call LBitmapBase::ColorRes with the CRF_USERPALETTE and CRF_FASTMATCHPALETTE options.

4.

Call LBitmapSettings::FreeUserMatchTable when the table is no longer needed.

The completed table is a 32K array of integers. On a 32-bit system, it occupies 128K bytes of memory. Creation of the table is a slow, memory-intensive process that is useful only if you are using your own palette more than once. For example, you may want to create the table once, save it to a file, and ship that file with your application.
