ImageBuffer

An ImageBuffer object contains the image data of one frame. IC Imaging Control's internal ring buffer consists of ImageBuffers.

All image buffers of the ring buffer can be retrieved from the ImageBuffers collection.

Example

This example illustrates how to obtain the first available image buffer:

Dim Buffer As ImageBuffer
Set Buffer = ICImagingControl1.ImageBuffers.Item(1)

Introduced in IC Imaging Control 1.x

	Property		Description


	FrameType		Returns a FrameType object describing the image format of this ImageBuffer.

	ImageDataPtr		Returns the address of the first byte of the image data.

	Lines		Returns the number of lines in this ImageBuffer.

	Locked		Returns True if the ImageBuffer is locked.

	Picture		Returns a Picture object created from the data in the buffer.

	PixelPerLine		Returns the number of pixels in each line of this ImageBuffer.

	SampleEndTime		Returns the reference end time of the sample in the image buffer.

	SampleStartTime		Returns the reference start time of the sample in the image buffer.

	WasLockedFlag		Returns the WasLockedFlag.

	Method		Description


	ForceUnlock		Reduces the lock count immediately to 0. Therefore, an image buffer is unlocked, enabling IC Imaging Control to copy an image to it.

	GetDib		Returns a handle to a DIB for further imaging toolkits. This property is only available in the COM interface (Visual Basic 6).

	GetImageData		Provides direct access to the data in the image buffer. This property is only available in the COM interface (Visual Basic 6).

	Lock		Locks the buffer

	ReleaseImageData		Releases a SAFEARRAY that was acquired by a call to ImageBuffer.GetImageData. This property is only available in the COM interface (Visual Basic 6).

	SaveAsBitmap		Saves the contents of the buffer to a bitmap file on disk.

	SaveAsJpeg		Saves the contents of the buffer to a JPEG compressed file to disk.

	SaveImage		Saves the contents of the buffer to disk.

	Unlock		Unlocks the buffer
