#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTFIL_API L_UINT L_GetPNGTRNS (pData)

pointer to a buffer

Gets the transparency data used by LEADTOOLS when loading PNG files.

Parameter	Description
pData	Pointer to a buffer to be updated with the transparency data used when loading PNG files.

Returns

0 or > 1	The length of the data buffer.
< 1	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

This function supports1-bit to 8-bit PNG images.

To set the transparency data used when saving PNG files, use L_SetPNGTRNS function.

The transparency data obtained by this function is valid for the current thread.
