MGL_getPCXSize
Obtain the dimensions of a PCX file from disk.
Declaration
ibool MGLAPI MGL_getPCXSize(
const char *PCXName,
int *width,
int *height,
int *bitsPerPixel)
Prototype In
mgraph.h
Parameters
PCXName |
Name of the bitmap file to load header for |
width |
Place to store the bitmap width |
height |
Place to store the bitmap height |
bitsPerPixel |
Place to store the bitmap pixel depth |
Return Value
True if the PCX file was found, false if not.
Description
This functions loads all the header information for a PCX file from disk, without actually loading the bits for the bitmap surface. This is useful to determine the dimensions and pixel format for the bitmap before it is loaded, so you can create an appropriate memory device context that you can load the bitmap into with the MGL_loadPCXIntoDC function.
