ImageDepth()

Syntax

Result = ImageDepth(#Image [, Flags])

Returns the depth of the #Image, as it is stored internally by PureBasic. When loading an image, PureBasic converts it either in 24 bit or in 32 bit, depending if the source image got an alpha-channel or not. Every image which have a depth less than 24 bit will be internally converted to 24 bit.

The optional 'Flags' parameter can be one of the following value:

  PB_Image_InternalDepth: Returns the depth of the decoded image (default). Valid values are:
                                    - 24 bit (16 millions colors)
                                    - 32 bit (16 millions colors + 8 bit alpha channel)
  PB_Image_OriginalDepth: Returns the original depth, as it was before the decoding. Valid values are:
                                    - 1 bit (2 colors, monochrome image)
                                    - 4 bit (16 colors)
                                    - 8 bit (256 colors)
                                    - 16 bit (65536 colors)
                                    - 24 bit (16 millions colors)
                                    - 32 bit (16 millions colors + 8 bit alpha channel)
