4.5.23 is_SaveImageEx
Syntax
INT is_SaveImageEx (HIDS hCam, const IS_CHAR* File, INT fileFormat, INT Param)
Description
Attention
This function is obsolete and should not be used anymore. We recommend to use the is_ImageFile()
function instead (see also Obsolete functions ).
is_SaveImageEx() saves an image in bitmap (*.BMP), JPEG (*.JPG), or PNG format to a file. The images are
read out from the current image memory. The bitmap is stored with the color depth that was used when allocating
the image memory (in DIB mode) or that was set for the current color mode (in Direct3D mode).
Notes
You can save images with a bit depth of more than 8 bit in the PNG format. 12 bit formats are converted into 16
bit.
In Direct3D mode, overlay data are not saved.
Input parameters
Pointer to a string containing the BMP filename You can either pass
an absolute or a relative path.
If NULL is passed, the "Save as" dialog will be displayed.
Specifies the output format of the file.
When you use IS_IMG_JPG or IS_IMG_PNG to specify the file
format, you can set the quality by specifying a value between 1 and
100 for Param. If Param=0, the system uses the default quality
(75).
If you use IS_IMG_BMP, Param does not take effect.
Return values
File cannot be opened for writing or reading.
IS_INVALID_MEMORY_POINTER
Invalid pointer or invalid memory ID
One of the submitted parameters is outside the valid
range or is not supported for this sensor or is not
available in this mode.

function or setting.
No memory could be allocated.
IS_SEQUENCE_BUF_ALREADY_LOCKED
The memory could not be locked. The pointer to the
buffer is invalid.
