Device Calibration and Characterization Functions
The following functions are useful for writing device calibration and characterization tools needed for installing and calibrating color display devices such as monitors and printers.
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| CloseColorProfile | Closes an open profile handle. |
| CreateDeviceLinkProfile | Creates an International Color Consortium (ICC) device link profile from a set of color profiles, using the specified intents. |
| GetColorProfileElement | Copies data from a specified tagged profile element of a specified color profile into a buffer. |
| GetColorProfileElementTag | Retrieves the tag name specified by dwIndex in the tag table of a given International Color Consortium (ICC) color profile, where dwIndex is a one-based index into that table. |
| GetColorProfileFromHandle | Retrieves the color profile contents given a handle to an open color profile. |
| GetColorProfileHeader | Retrieves or derives ICC header structure from either ICC color profile or WCS XML profile. Drivers and applications should assume returning TRUE only indicates that a properly structured header is returned. Each tag will still need to be validated independently using either legacy ICM2 APIs or XML schema APIs. |
| GetCountColorProfileElements | Retrieves the number of tagged elements in a given color profile. |
| GetPS2ColorRenderingDictionary | Retrieves the PostScript Level 2 color rendering dictionary from the specified ICC color profile. |
| GetPS2ColorRenderingIntent | Retrieves the PostScript Level 2 color rendering intent from an ICC color profile. |
| GetPS2ColorSpaceArray | Retrieves the PostScript Level 2 color space array from an ICC color profile. |
| IsColorProfileTagPresent | Reports whether a specified International Color Consortium (ICC) tag is present in the specified color profile. |
| IsColorProfileValid | Allows you to determine whether the specified profile is a valid International Color Consortium (ICC) profile, or a valid Windows Color System (WCS) profile handle that can be used for color management. |
| OpenColorProfileW | Creates a handle to a specified color profile. The handle can then be used in other profile management functions. |
| SetColorProfileElement | Sets the element data for a tagged profile element in an ICC color profile. |
| SetColorProfileElementReference | Creates in a specified ICC color profile a new tag that references the same data as an existing tag. |
| SetColorProfileElementSize | Sets the size of a tagged element in an ICC color profile. |
| SetColorProfileHeader | Sets the header data in a specified ICC color profile. |
| WcsGetCalibrationManagementState | Determines whether system management of the display calibration state is enabled. |
| WcsSetCalibrationManagementState | Determines whether system management of the display calibration state is enabled. |
