The LOADINFO structure provides file format information to the LOADINFOCALLBACK function, which you can use when loading image data in a format that LEADTOOLS does not recognize. For more information, refer to the L_SetLoadInfoCallback function.

Members

uStructSize

Size of this structure in bytes, for versioning. Use the sizeof() operator to calculate this value.

Format

File format. The following are valid formats:

Width

Image width in pixels.

Height

Image height in pixels.

BitsPerPixel

Bits per pixel of the image data in the file.

XResolution

Horizontal resolution for rendering the image, specified in dots per inch. This is an optional field.

YResolution

Vertical resolution for rendering the image, specified in dots per inch. This is an optional field.

Offset

Position of the first byte of image data. This can be 0 if your file does not have a header.

Flags

Special flags, which can be specified as follows. You can use a bitwise OR to specify more than one value. Possible values are:

rgbQuad

Palette for uncompressed data that is 8 bits per pixel or less. Fill in the first 2 BitsPerPixel entries in this palette and include the LOADINFO_PALETTE flag in the Flags field.

rgbColorMask

Array of RGB color masks used with raw, Bitfield compressed data.

uStripSize

Size of the data strip before it is decompressed.

nPhotoInt

Value that represents color information. Possible values are:

For FILE_RAW_CCITT, FILE_RAW_G3_1D, FILE_RAW_G3_2D and FILE_FAX_G4

For FILE_RAW_PACKBITS

nPlanarConfig

Planar configuration. This value is used only if Format is FILE_RAW_PACKBITS. Otherwise, it is ignored. Possible values are:

Comments

pLOADINFO is a pointer to a LOADINFO structure. Where the function parameter type is pLOADINFO, you can declare a LOADINFO variable, update the structure's fields, and pass the variable's address in the parameter. Declaring a pLOADINFO variable is necessary only if your program requires a pointer.

Some functions which take this structure as a parameter require that the structure be initialized prior to the function call. You must set the uStructSize member to the total size, in bytes, of the structure. Use the sizeof() operator to calculate this value. Functions that do not require the structure be initialized will take the total size of the structure, in bytes, as an additional function parameter.

LOADINFO_TOPLEFT, LOADINFO_TOPLEFT90 and LOADINFO_TOPLEFT270 cannot be combined.

LOADINFO_REVERSE can be combined with LOADINFO_TOPLEFT, LOADINFO_TOPLEFT90 or LOADINFO_TOPLEFT270. If LOADINFO_REVERSE is set, every line is reversed before being put into the bitmap.

To load a raw fax file, you must provide a LOADINFOCALLBACK by calling L_SetLoadInfoCallback. If you recognize the file and you know the height and width of the file, set LOADINFO.Width and LOADINFO.Height to a positive value. To automatically detect the width and height of the fax file, set LOADINFO.Width and LOADINFO.Height to -1.

To load raw uncompressed data, set the Format field to FILE_RAW. Valid values must be set for the following LOADINFO fields: Width, Height, BitsPerPixel, Offset (byte location in the file where the raw data begins). If each line of RAW data is padded so that the number of bytes is a multiple of 4 (as is the case with raw Windows BMP data), include LOADINFO_PAD4 in the Flags field. Include an orientation flag in the Flags field to load the data with the proper orientation. For example, raw Windows BMP data is stored with a BOTTOM_LEFT orientation. If the orientation is unknown, include the TOP_LEFT flag. If the raw data is 8 bits per pixel or less, then the image is palettized and a palette must be generated. If this is the case, include the LOADINFO_PALETTE flag, and fill in the first (2 bits per pixel) entries of the rgbQuad field.

If the color order is RGB then include LOADINFO_ORDERRGB or LOADINFO_ORDERRGB565. If either of the LOADINFO_ORDERRGB or LOADINFO_ORDERRGB565 flags are not included, the data will be loaded as ORDER_BGR.
