CMCheckColorsInGamut function (icm.h)

  • Article

[CMCheckColorsInGamut is no longer available for use as of Windows Vista.]

Determines whether specified RGB triples lie in the output gamut of a specified transform.

Syntax

BOOL CMCheckColorsInGamut(
  HCMTRANSFORM hcmTransform,
  RGBTRIPLE    *lpaRGBTriple,
  LPBYTE       lpaResult,
  UINT         nCount
);

Parameters

hcmTransform

Specifies the transform to use.

lpaRGBTriple

Points to an array of RGB triples to check.

lpaResult

Points to the buffer in which to put results.

The results are represented by an array of bytes. Each byte in the array corresponds to an RGB triple and has an unsigned value between 0 and 255. The value 0 denotes that the color is in gamut, while a nonzero value denotes that it is out of gamut. For any integer n in the range 0 < n < 255, a result value of n + 1 indicates that the corresponding color is at least as far out of gamut as would be indicated by a result value of n.

nCount

Specifies the number of elements in the array.

Return value

Beginning with Windows Vista, the default CMM (Icm32.dll) will return FALSE and GetLastError will report ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED.

Windows Server 2003, Windows XP and Windows 2000:

If this function succeeds, the return value is TRUE.

If this function fails, the return value is FALSE. Call GetLastError to retrieve the error.

Remarks

Beginning with Windows Vista, CMM Implementors are no longer required to implement this method.

Windows Server 2003, Windows XP and Windows 2000:

CMM Implementors are required to implement this method.

Every CMM is required to export this function.

If the function is not successful, custom CMMs should call SetLastError to set the last error to a valid error value defined in Winerror.h.
