function Save#

virtual void Save(
    EImageFileFormat imageFileFormat,
    const String_t & filename,
    CImagePersistenceOptions * pOptions =NULL
) const

Saves the image to disk.

Parameters:

• imageFileFormat File format to save the image in.
• filename Name and path of the image.
• pOptions Additional options.

Precondition: The pixel type of the image to be saved must be a supported input format of the Pylon::CImageFormatConverter.

Error Safety:

Throws an exception if the saving of the image fails.

Converts the image to a format that can be saved if required.

This is a convenience method that calls CImagePersistence::Save().

If required, the image is automatically converted into a new image and saved afterwards. See CImagePersistence::CanSaveWithoutConversion() for more information. An image with a bit depth higher than 8 bit is stored with 16 bit bit depth, if supported by the image file format. In this case the pixel data is MSB aligned.

If more control over the conversion is required, the CImageFormatConverter class can be used to convert the input image before saving it.

function Load#

virtual void Load(
    const String_t & filename
)

Loads an image from a disk.

Parameters:

• filename Name and path of the image.

Precondition: The image object must be able to hold the image format of the loaded image.

Error Safety:

Throws an exception if the image cannot be loaded. The image buffer content is undefined when the loading of the image fails.

This is a convenience method that calls CImagePersistence::Load()

function CanSaveWithoutConversion#

virtual bool CanSaveWithoutConversion(
    EImageFileFormat imageFileFormat
) const

Can be used to check whether the image can be saved without prior conversion.

Parameters:

• imageFileFormat Target file format for the image to be saved.

Return: Returns true, if the image can be saved without prior conversion.

Error Safety:

Does not throw C++ exceptions.

This is a convenience method that calls CImagePersistence::CanSaveWithoutConversion().

function GetPixelData#

virtual SPixelData GetPixelData(
    uint32_t posX,
    uint32_t posY
) const

Retrieves the data of a pixel.

Parameters:

• posX Horizontal position of the pixel. The first column has position 0.
• posY Vertical position of the pixel. The first row has position 0.

Return: Returns the data of a pixel for supported pixel types. For unsupported pixel types pixel data of the [SPixelData::PixelDataType_Unknown](struct_pylon_1_1_s_pixel_data.md type is returned.

Note This method is relativly slow. Do not use it for image processing tasks.

Precondition:

• The image must be valid.
• The pixel position defined by posX and posY must be located inside the image area.

Error Safety:

Throws an exception, if the preconditions are not met.

virtual void Reset(
    EPixelType pixelType,
    uint32_t width,
    uint32_t height,

Resets the image properties and provides a buffer to hold the image.

Parameters:

• pixelType The pixel type of the new image.
• width The number of pixels in a row in the new image.
• height The number of rows in the new image.
• orientation The vertical orientation of the image in the image buffer.

Precondition:

• The IsSupportedPixelType() method returns true.
• The width value must be >= 0 and < _I32_MAX.
• The height value must be >= 0 and < _I32_MAX.

Postcondition:

• The properties of the image are changed.
• A buffer large enough to hold the image is provided.

Error Safety:

Throws an exception when the preconditions are not met. Throws an exception when no buffer with the required size can be provided, e.g. by allocation. The original representation is preserved on error.
