Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual ~ColorPacker ( ) [inline, virtual]

{}

virtual void EnableDither ( BOOL onoff ) [pure virtual]

Remarks:: This method is used to enable dithering of the packed pixels. It defaults to the 3ds Max default.

virtual void PropogateErrorBetweenLines ( BOOL onoff ) [pure virtual]

Remarks:: This method controls the propagation of error between lines. For static images this is best left to default to on. For animated images, it is better to set this to off and not propagate the error between lines. This defaults to ON.

Parameters:: BOOL onoff

TRUE to enable error propagation between lines; FALSE to disable.

Remarks:: Packs the specified line of pixels into the 256 color representation.

Parameters:: BMM_Color_64* in

The line of pixels to pack.

BYTE *out

The result, the output pixels.

int w

The number of pixels in the line.

Remarks:: Packs the specified line of pixels into the 256 color representation.

Parameters:: BMM_Color_48* in

The line of pixels to pack.

BYTE *out

The result, the output pixels.

int w

The number of pixels in the line.

virtual void DeleteThis ( ) [pure virtual]

Remarks:: This method is called to delete the ColorPacker when you are done with it.
