4.3.81 is_SetColorMode
Syntax
INT is_SetColorMode (HIDS hCam, INT Mode)
Description
is_SetColorMode() sets the color mode to be used when image data are saved or displayed by
the graphics card. For this purpose, the allocated image memory must be large enough to
accommodate the data with the selected color mode. When images are transferred directly to the
graphics card memory, make sure that the display settings match the color mode settings.
Otherwise, the images will be displayed with altered colors or are not clearly visible.
Notes
Display Modes
This function is only supported in the bitmap (DIB) display mode. Use the is_SetDisplayMode()
function to display other color formats in Direct3D or OpenGL mode.
Bit Depth
Color formats with a bit depth of more than 8 bits per channel are not supported by DCx camera
models.
RGB15/16
For the RGB16 and RGB15 data formats, the MSBs of the internal 8-bit R, G and B colors are
used.
Input parameters
Mode: Color mode to be set. For a list of all available color formats and the associated input
parameters, see the Appendix: Color and memory formats section.
