## Member Function Documentation

## create()

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.

Implemented in OpenGLImageType, NativeImageType, and SoftwareImageType.

## getTypeID()

virtual int ImageType::getTypeID | ( |  | ) | const

pure virtual

Must return a unique number to identify this type.

Implemented in NativeImageType, SoftwareImageType, and OpenGLImageType.

## convert()

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);

The documentation for this class was generated from the following file:

- juce_Image.h

SoftwareImageType
An image storage type which holds the pixels in-memory as a simple block of values.
Definition: juce_Image.h:528
ImageType::convert
virtual Image convert(const Image &source) const
Returns an image which is a copy of the source image, but using this type of storage mechanism.
