#include "BITIFF.H"

HANDLE CALLBACK SaveTiffToMemory(                 HANDLE hTiffInMemory,
                                                                        HANDLE hDIB,
                                                                        UINT        wCompMode,
                                                                        int              nFillOrder)

Description

Saves the device independent bitmap (DIB) to a memory block. Does all low level calls internally in the DLL. If hTiffInMemory parameter is a valid TIFF file in the memory, the function appends the image to the TIFF, otherwise creates a new TIFF image in the memory. To retrieve the last error, use the TiffErrorString(). The wCompMode must be set to one of the compression types defined in the Document Imaging SDK USER’S GUIDE.

The following compression types are defined in BITIFF.H.

            Compression type -     TCOMP_NOCOMP               - No compression

                                                TCOMP_PACKBITS             - Packbit

                                                TCOMP_LZW                        - LZW

                                                TCOMP_LZW_DIFF             - LZW with differentiation

                                                TCOMP_CCITTG2                - CCITT Group 3 1D NO EOL

                                                TCOMP_CCITTG31D           - CCITT Group 3 1D

                                                TCOMP_CCITTG32D           - CCITT Group 3 2D

                                                TCOMP_CCITTG4                - CCITT Group 4

                                                TCOMP_JPEG                       - JPEG

For color images the following flags can also be specified using a binary OR operation with one of the compression flags:

TSPEC_16BIT            - Save the image in 16 bit grayscale format .
TSPEC_12IN16BIT   - Save the image in 12 bit grayscale format.
TSPEC_CMYK          - Save the image as a CMYK image.
TSPEC_YCBCR        - Save the image as a YCBCR image

Example: To create a CMYK uncompressedTIFF file, use the TCCOMP_NOCOMP|TSPEC_CMYK value.

The BITIFF.H contains the defines for

Bit order -        NORM_BIT_ORDER (1)      - High to Low

REV_BIT_ORDER (2)          - Low to High

Parameters

Return values

Handle to the memory block, or NULL.
