DTWAIN_SetBitDepth

The DTWAIN_SetBitDepth function sets the current number of bits per pixel for the next acquired images.

DTWAIN_BOOL DTWAIN_SetBitDepth (

Parameters

Source

An open TWAIN Source.

BitDepth

The bit depth to set

bSetCurrent

Determines whether to set the current bit depth or the default bit depth

Return Values

The return value is TRUE if successful.  Otherwise FALSE is returned.

Comments

The DTWAIN_SetBitDepth function sets the current bit depth (number of bits per pixels) for the Source Source when acquiring an image.  The BitDepth is the number of bits per pixel to set.  If bSetCurrent is TRUE, the current bits per pixel is set. If bSetCurrent is FALSE, the default bits per pixel is set, and the BitDepth argument is ignored.

Usually, BitDepth has the values of 1, 8, 16, 24, etc.  DTWAIN_SetBitDepth sets the bit depth of the current selected pixel type (see DTWAIN_SetPixelType).  Even though DTWAIN_SetPixelType also sets the bit depth, DTWAIN_SetBitDepth allows an application to set the bit depth of the current pixel type without having to know what the current pixel type is.

TWAIN State Transitions
