ImageWriteICS

Write ICS image to file (in dipIO)

SYNOPSIS

#include "dipio_ics.h"

dip_Error dipio_ImageWriteICS ( image, filename, photometric, physDims, history, sigbits, version, compression )

FUNCTION

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.

The enumerator dipio_PhotometricInterpretation contains the following constants:

NameDescription
DIPIO_PHM_GREYVALUENo colour information present; it's a grey-value image.
DIPIO_PHM_RGBRGB image (the first three planes are red, green and blue)
DIPIO_PHM_RGB_NONLINEARNon-linear R'G'B' image (RGB channels to the power of 0.4)
DIPIO_PHM_CMYCMY image (the first three planes are cyan, magenta and yellow)
DIPIO_PHM_CMYKCMYK image (the first four planes are cyan, magenta, yellow and black)
DIPIO_PHM_CIELUVCIE L*u'v' image (the first three planes are luminosity, u* and v*)
DIPIO_PHM_CIELABCIE L*a*b* image (the first three planes are luminosity, a* and b*)
DIPIO_PHM_CIEXYZCIE XYZ (the first three planes are X, Y and Z)
DIPIO_PHM_CIEYXYCIE Yxy (the first three planes are Y, x and y)
DIPIO_PHM_HCVHCV image (the first three planes are hue, chroma and value)
DIPIO_PHM_HSVHSV image (the first three planes are hue, saturation and value)
DIPIO_PHM_DEFAULTSame as DIPIO_PHM_GREYVALUE
DIPIO_PHM_GENERICAnything can be coded in the channels; the same as DIPIO_PHM_CMYK

Most file formats support only some of these.
