img_dtransform()

QNX SDP8.0Image Library ReferenceAPIDeveloperProgramming

Convert an image from one format to another

Synopsis:

#include <img/img.h>

int img_dtransform( const img_t *src,
                    img_t *dst );

Arguments:

src: The image you want to convert from.
dst: The image you want to convert to.

Library:

libimg

Use the -l img option to qcc to link against this library.

Description:

This function converts an img_t from one format to another. Best to use this when you only need to do the transform once on a single img_t. Returns IMG_ERR_OK if the transform succeeed, otherwise returns one of the documented error codes of img_dtransform_create().

Note:

This function cannot convert from a direct format source to a palette-based format destination.

Returns:

IMG_ERR_OK: Success.
IMG_ERR_NOSUPPORT: One of the formats specified is invalid.

Classification:

Image library
