public:
 virtual int reduceColorOctree(int _maxColors);
public virtual int reduceColorOctree (int _maxColors);
abstract member reduceColorOctree : int -> int

Public Overridable Function reduceColorOctree (_maxColors As Integer) As Integer

Parameters

_maxColors
Int32

The maximum number of colors.

Returns

0 indicates success; otherwise, failure.

Remarks

The method reduces a 24-bit image to 8 bits, or an 8-bit image to 4 bits, unless other instructions are specified in the maxColors parameter. If the maxColors parameter is less than or equal to 16, a 4-bit image is produced. If maxColors is more than 16, an 8-bit image is produced.
