Write ICS image to file (in dipIO)
#include "dipio_ics.h"
dip_Error dipio_ImageWriteICS ( image, filename, photometric, physDims, history, sigbits, version, compression )
This function writes the image to an ICS file, overwriting any other file with the same name. version can set to 1 to use the ICS v.1.0 file format (the 2-file version), instead of ICS v.2.0. For colour images, set photometric and write the colour channels along the last image dimension. Set sigbits only if the number of significant bits is different from the full range of the data type of image (use 0 otherwise). physDims can be set to 0 to fill out default values. history can be 0 if you do not want to bother.
Data type | Name | Description |
dip_Image | image | Output image |
dip_String | filename | File name |
dipio_PhotometricInterpretation | photometric | Photometric interpretation |
dip_PhysicalDimensions | physDims | Physical dimensions structure. See PhysicalDimensionsNew |
dip_StringArray | history | Tags that are written to the history in the ICS header |
dip_int | sigbits | Number of significant bits. |
dip_int | version | ICS version |
dipio_Compression | compression | Compression method and level. See Compression methods for image files |
The enumerator dipio_PhotometricInterpretation contains the following constants:
Name | Description |
DIPIO_PHM_GREYVALUE | No colour information present; it's a grey-value image. |
DIPIO_PHM_RGB | RGB image (the first three planes are red, green and blue) |
DIPIO_PHM_RGB_NONLINEAR | Non-linear R'G'B' image (RGB channels to the power of 0.4) |
DIPIO_PHM_CMY | CMY image (the first three planes are cyan, magenta and yellow) |
DIPIO_PHM_CMYK | CMYK image (the first four planes are cyan, magenta, yellow and black) |
DIPIO_PHM_CIELUV | CIE L*u'v' image (the first three planes are luminosity, u* and v*) |
DIPIO_PHM_CIELAB | CIE L*a*b* image (the first three planes are luminosity, a* and b*) |
DIPIO_PHM_CIEXYZ | CIE XYZ (the first three planes are X, Y and Z) |
DIPIO_PHM_CIEYXY | CIE Yxy (the first three planes are Y, x and y) |
DIPIO_PHM_HCV | HCV image (the first three planes are hue, chroma and value) |
DIPIO_PHM_HSV | HSV image (the first three planes are hue, saturation and value) |
DIPIO_PHM_DEFAULT | Same as DIPIO_PHM_GREYVALUE |
DIPIO_PHM_GENERIC | Anything can be coded in the channels; the same as DIPIO_PHM_CMYK |
Most file formats support only some of these.
