CMCreateDeviceLinkProfile function (icm.h)

  • Article

Creates a device link profile in the format specified by the International Color Consortium in its ICC Profile Format Specification.

Syntax

BOOL CMCreateDeviceLinkProfile(
  PHPROFILE pahProfiles,
  DWORD     nProfiles,
  PDWORD    padwIntents,
  DWORD     nIntents,
  DWORD     dwFlags,
  LPBYTE    *lpProfileData
);

Parameters

pahProfiles

Pointer to an array of profile handles.

nProfiles

Specifies the number of profiles in the array.

padwIntents

An array of rendering intents.

nIntents

The number of elements in the array of intents.

dwFlags

Specifies flags to used control creation of the transform. For details, see CMM Transform Creation Flags.

lpProfileData

Pointer to a pointer to a buffer. If successful the function allocates and fills this buffer. The calling application must free this buffer when it is no longer needed. Use the GlobalFree function to free this buffer.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is a nonzero value.

If this function fails, the return value is zero. If the function is not successful, the CMM should call SetLastError to set the last error to a valid error value defined in Winerror.h.

Remarks

Only the Windows default CMM is required to export this function; it is optional for all other CMMs.

If a CMM does not support CMCreateDeviceLinkProfile, Windows uses the default CMM to create a device link profile.

The first and the last profiles in the array must be device profiles. The other profiles can be color space or abstract profiles. Each profile's output color space must be the next profile's input color space.

The calling application must free the buffer allocated by this function and pointed to by the lpProfileData parameter. Use the GlobalFree function to free the buffer.
