VPBuffer Class Reference

#include <c4d_tools.h>

Detailed Description

A rendering bitmap buffer. Represents internally the same class as MultipassBitmap, so a VPBuffer can be cast to a MultipassBitmap and vice versa.

GetInfo()

Int32 GetInfo

(

VPGETINFO

type

)

const

Retrieves information about the videopost buffer.

Parameters

[in]

type

The information type to get: VPGETINFO

Returns

The information.

GetLine()

Bool GetLine	(	Int32	x,
		Int32	y,
		Int32	cnt,
		void *	data,
		Int32	bitdepth,
		Bool	dithering
	)		const

Gets a line from the videopost buffer.

Parameters

[in]	x	The starting horizontal position.
[in]	y	The vertical position of the line.
[in]	cnt	The width of the line to get.
[in]	data	The buffer to fill with the data from the line. The caller owns the pointed buffer.
[in]	bitdepth	The bit depth to use to fill the data buffer: 8 (UChar) 16 (UInt16) 32 (Float)
[in]	dithering	true if the line should be dithered.

Returns

true if successful, otherwise false.

SetLine()

Bool SetLine	(	Int32	x,
		Int32	y,
		Int32	cnt,
		void *	data,
		Int32	bitdepth,
		Bool	dithering
	)		const

Sets a line in the videopost buffer.

Parameters

[in]	x	The starting horizontal position.
[in]	y	The vertical position of the line.
[in]	cnt	The width of the line to set.
[in]	data	The buffer with the data to set the line. The caller owns the pointed buffer.
[in]	bitdepth	The bit depth of data buffer: 8 (UChar) 16 (UInt16) 32 (Float)
[in]	dithering	true if the line should be dithered.

Returns

true if successful, otherwise false.

GetBw()

Int32 GetBw

(

)

const

Gets the width of the videopost buffer.

Returns

The width.

GetBh()

Int32 GetBh

(

)

const

Gets the height of the videopost buffer.

Returns

The height.

GetBt()

Int32 GetBt

(

)

const

Gets the bit depth of the videopost buffer.

Returns

The bit depth:

• 8 (UChar)
• 16 (UInt16)
• 32 (Float)

GetCpp()

Int32 GetCpp

(

)

const

Gets the bytes per pixel for the videopost buffer.

Returns

The number of bytes per pixel.

GetVisibleBit()

Bool GetVisibleBit

(

)

const

Determines whether the videopost buffer is visible.

Note

Buffers that were requested by plugins can be existent, but invisible (not listed in the Picture Viewer Multipass menu).

Returns

true if the buffer is visible, otherwise false.
