ID2D1DeviceContext::CreateColorContext method (d2d1_1.h)

Creates a color context.

Syntax

HRESULT CreateColorContext(
                 D2D1_COLOR_SPACE  space,
  [in, optional] const BYTE        *profile,
                 UINT32            profileSize,
  [out]          ID2D1ColorContext **colorContext
);

Parameters

space

Type: D2D1_COLOR_SPACE

The space of color context to create.

[in, optional] profile

Type: const BYTE*

A buffer containing the ICC profile bytes used to initialize the color context when space is D2D1_COLOR_SPACE_CUSTOM. For other types, the parameter is ignored and should be set to NULL.

profileSize

Type: UINT32

The size in bytes of Profile.

[out] colorContext

Type: ID2D1ColorContext**

When this method returns, contains the address of a pointer to a new color context object.

Return value

Type: HRESULT

The method returns an HRESULT. Possible values include, but are not limited to, those in the following table.

Remarks

The new color context can be used in D2D1_BITMAP_PROPERTIES1 to initialize the color context of a created bitmap.

When space is D2D1_COLOR_SPACE_CUSTOM, profile and profileSize must be specified. Otherwise, these parameters should be set to NULL and zero respectively. When the space is D2D1_COLOR_SPACE_CUSTOM, the model field of the profile header is inspected to determine if this profile is sRGB or scRGB and the color space is updated respectively. Otherwise the space remains custom.
