WICConvertBitmapSource function (wincodec.h)

Obtains a IWICBitmapSource in the desired pixel format from a given IWICBitmapSource.

Syntax

HRESULT WICConvertBitmapSource(
  [in]  REFWICPixelFormatGUID dstFormat,
  [in]  IWICBitmapSource      *pISrc,
  [out] IWICBitmapSource      **ppIDst
);

Parameters

[in] dstFormat

Type: REFWICPixelFormatGUID

The pixel format to convert to.

[in] pISrc

Type: IWICBitmapSource*

The source bitmap.

[out] ppIDst

Type: IWICBitmapSource**

A pointer to the null-initialized destination bitmap pointer.

Return value

Type: HRESULT

If this function succeeds, it returns S_OK. Otherwise, it returns an HRESULT error code.

Remarks

If the pISrc bitmap is already in the desired format, then pISrc is copied to the destination bitmap pointer and a reference is added. If it is not in the desired format however, WICConvertBitmapSource will instantiate a dstFormat format converter and initialize it with pISrc.

Examples

The following example converts an IWICBitmapSource to a GUID_WICPixelFormat128bppPRGBAFloat pixel format.

   IWICImagingFactory *pFactory = NULL;
   IWICBitmapDecoder *pDecoder = NULL;
   IWICBitmapFrameDecode *pBitmapFrameDecode = NULL;
   IWICBitmapSource *pConverter = NULL;

   UINT uiFrameCount = 0;
   UINT uiWidth = 0, uiHeight = 0;
   WICPixelFormatGUID pixelFormat;    

   // Create the image factory.
   HRESULT hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_WICImagingFactory,
                    NULL,
                    CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
                    IID_IWICImagingFactory,
                    (LPVOID*) &pFactory);

   // Create a decoder from the file.
   if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
   {
      hr = pFactory->CreateDecoderFromFilename(L"test.jpg",
                         NULL,
                         GENERIC_READ,
                         WICDecodeMetadataCacheOnDemand,
                         &pDecoder);
   }

   // Get the frame count.
   if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
   {
      hr = pDecoder->GetFrameCount(&uiFrameCount);
   }

   if (SUCCEEDED(hr) && (uiFrameCount > 0))
   {
      IWICBitmapSource *pSource = NULL;

      hr = pDecoder->GetFrame(0, &pBitmapFrameDecode);

         hr = pSource->GetSize(&uiWidth, &uiHeight);
      }

            {
               pSource->Release();     // the converter has a reference to the source
               pSource = NULL;         // so we don't need it anymore.
               pSource = pConverter;   // let's treat the 128bppPABGR converter as the source
            }
         }

         if (piConverter)
         {

               rc.Height = 1;

               {
                  hr = pSource->CopyPixels(&rc,
                                    cbStride,
