Syntax

INT is_SaveImageMemEx (HIDS hCam, const IS_CHAR* File, char* pcMem, INT nID, INT fileFormat, INT Param)

Description

hint_info

This function is obsolete and should not be used anymore. We recommend to use the is_ImageFile() function instead.

is_SaveImageMemEx() saves an image in bitmap (*.BMP), JPEG (*.JPG), or PNG format to a file. The images are read out from the specified image memory. The bitmap is stored with the color depth that was used when allocating the image memory (in DIB mode) or that was set for the current  color mode (in Direct3D mode). JPEG files are always saved with a color depth of 8 or 24 bits.

hint_info

You can save images with a bit depth of more than 8 bit in the PNG format. 12 bit formats are converted into 16 bit.

hint_info

In Direct3D mode, overlay data is not saved.

Input parameters

hCam

Camera handle

File

Pointer to a string containing the BMP filename. You can either pass an absolute or a relative path.

If NULL is passed, the "Save as" dialog will be displayed..

pcMem

Pointer to the image memory

nID

Image memory ID

fileFormat

Specifies the output format of the file.

IS_IMG_BMP

Bitmap format

IS_IMG_JPG

JPEG format

IS_IMG_PNG

PNG format

Param

When you use IS_IMG_JPG or IS_IMG_PNG to specify the file format, you can set the quality by specifying a value between 1 and 100 for Param. If Param=0, the system uses the default quality (75).

If you use IS_IMG_BMP, Param does not take effect.
