L_ReadLoadResolutions

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTFIL_API L_INT L_ReadLoadResolutions(pszFile, pDimensions, pDimensionCount, pLoadOptions)

Examines a file to determine which resolutions it contains.

Parameters

L_TCHAR* pszFile

Character string containing the name of the file to examine.

pDIMENSION pDimensions

Pointer to the array of DIMENSION structures to be updated with the available physical resolutions in the file. You can pass NULL if you only want to update the count variable.

L_INT* pDimensionCount

Address of the pDimensionCount variable to be updated with the number of available resolutions.

pLOADFILEOPTION pLoadOptions

Pointer to optional extended load options. Pass NULL to use the default load options.

Returns

Value	Meaning
SUCCESS	The function was successful.
< 1	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

Certain file formats, for example FlashPix, PhotoCD, ECW, JPEG 2000 or JBIG / JBIG2, may can contain more than one copy of the same image, each at a different physical resolution (width and height in pixels). For PhotoCD files, the resolutions are fixed sizes, and you can also use an older function (L_GetPCDResolution) to examine them. For FlashPix and JBIG files, which can contain images of various sizes, you must use this function to examine them. For ECW files you can only resample images to dimensions smaller than the orginal values for width/height, you can use this function to get the original dimensions.

For the full list of formats that support multiple resolutions, see L_GetLoadResolution.

You must allocate the array to be updated. One way to do this is to declare an array of the maximum size (29 elements). Another way is to call this function twice the first time with NULL in the pDimensions parameter, so that you can get the number of elements and allocate storage of the appropriate size.

After you get the available resolutions, you can use the L_SetLoadResolution function to specify the one to be loaded.

Example

This example shows how many physical resolutions are available, selects the smallest one, then loads the file.
