saveToFileBMP Method

This function saves the contents of an image buffer to a .BMP file.

Syntax:

Error saveToFileBMP( const IFrame& buf, const std::string& filename );
Error saveToFileBMP( const IFrame& buf, const std::wstring& filename );
Error saveToFileBMP( const IFrame& buf, const wchar_t* pFilename );
 
Error saveToFileBMP( const IFrame& buf, const std::string& filename, tColorformatEnum file_fmt );
Error saveToFileBMP( const IFrame& buf, const std::wstring& filename, tColorformatEnum file_fmt );
Error saveToFileBMP( const IFrame& buf, const wchar_t* pFilename, tColorformatEnum file_fmt );

Parameter		Description


buf		The buffer that is to be saved.
filename		Specifies the filename of the .BMP file.
pFilename		Specifies the filename of the .BMP file.
file_fmt		Specifies the color format of the .BMP file.

Return value:

This method returns an error object. On success, it is set to eNOERROR. If the conversion fails, eINVALID_PARAM_VAL is returned.

Remarks:

This method saves the contents of the passed IFrame into a .BMP file. If no file_fmt parameter is given, the format of the bitmap file (BITMAPINFO) is specified by the IFrame. If file_fmt is set and it differs from the color format currently set in IFrame, the contents are converted on the fly. This conversion may take awhile.
