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
