LBitmapBase::ChangeCompression

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LBitmapBase::ChangeCompression(nComp)

L_INT nComp;

compression type

Compresses or decompresses a bitmap.

Parameter Description
nComp Flag that indicates the type of compression to use on the bitmap. Possible values are:
  Value Meaning
  COMP_NONE [0] No compression. This option can be used to decompress compressed or super compressed bitmaps.
  COMP_RLE [1] 1-bit RLE compression. This compression is very fast and Lossless. For more information, refer to Speeding Up 1-Bit Documents. This is the same as passing TYPE_COMPRESSED to LBitmapBase::Allocate.
  COMP_SUPER [2] Super compression. This is available for 1-bit, 8-bit, and 24-bit bitmaps only. The 24-bit and 8-bit compression is lossy, while the 1-bit compression is lossless.

Returns

SUCCESS

The function was successful.

< 1

An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Required DLLs and Libraries

LTFIL
LFCMP (for 24-bit Super compression)
LFFAX (for 1-bit Super compression)
