All Black Ice imaging and image-processing tools include a very powerful feature that makes displaying images to any display device easy.
When displaying images on display devices, there are several issues that have to be addressed. The color depth of the displayed image can be different from the color depth of the display device. The size of the image could be much bigger or much smaller than the size of the window that displays the image. In this case either the image has to be stretched/compressed to the right size or scroll bars must be used. Also, users may want to select an area of the image that is displayed or they may want to zoom in to view the details of an image area.
The display feature included in every Black Ice imaging and image-processing tool provides an easy to use solution for all the above problems. Application developers now do not have to spend expensive engineering time implementing complicated display routines. Just a few function calls and the Black Ice display routine will do the rest.
