Detailed Description

This base class is for handlers that control a type of image manipulation format, e.g.

an in-memory bitmap, an OpenGL image, CoreGraphics image, etc.

virtual

virtual ImagePixelData::Ptr ImageType::create	(	Image::PixelFormat	,
		int	width,
		int	height,
		bool	shouldClearImage
	)		const

pure virtual

Creates a new image of this type, and the specified parameters.

virtual int ImageType::getTypeID ( ) const

pure virtual

Must return a unique number to identify this type.

virtual Image ImageType::convert ( const Image & source ) const

virtual

Returns an image which is a copy of the source image, but using this type of storage mechanism.

For example, to make sure that an image is stored in-memory, you could use:

myImage = SoftwareImageType().convert (myImage);
