Function Documentation

int Rgb2Ind	(	unsigned char *	Dest,
		unsigned char *	Palette,
		int	NumColors,
		const unsigned char *	RgbImage,
		long	NumPixels
	)

Convert a truecolor RGB image to an indexed image.

Parameters

Dest	where to store the indexed image
Palette	where to store the palette
NumColors	maximum number of colors to use
RgbImage	the input RGB image
NumPixels	number of pixels in RgbImage

Returns

1 on success, 0 on failure

This routine quantizes the colors of the input RgbImage to an indexed image Dest using at most NumColors distinct colors. RgbImage should be a contiguous array of RGB triples,

ImageRgb[3*i + 0] = Red component of the ith pixel,
ImageRgb[3*i + 1] = Green component of the ith pixel,
ImageRgb[3*i + 2] = Blue component of the ith pixel.

Dest should be an array with space for at least NumPixels elements, and Palette should have space for at least 3*NumColors elements. Dest and Palette are filled such that the quantized image is

Palette[3*Dest[i] + 0] = Red component of the ith pixel,
Palette[3*Dest[i] + 1] = Green component of the ith pixel,
Palette[3*Dest[i] + 2] = Blue component of the ith pixel.

The quantized image should approximate RgbImage.

The quantization is performed using the median cut algorithm. No dithering is performed.
