TImageEnProc.CalcImagePalette

Declaration

procedure CalcImagePalette(var Palette: array of TRGB; MaxCol: Integer);

Description

Fills the Palette array with the colors found in the current image.
Palette is the array to fill.
MaxCol is the size of Palette. If the image has more than MaxCol colors, the image is quantized to match the number of colors specified.

Note:
◼If the image PixelFormat is not ie24RGB, it will be converted
◼If the image contains more colors than MaxCol, a quantizer is used to reduce the number of colors (using the method specified by ColorReductionAlgorithm)
◼You can output the palette as an image using IEDrawColorPalette, or show the palette to the user using IEPromptForColor
◼To return a list of the most common colors in an image, use GetDominantColor

Example

// Output 256 colors of the image
var
  MyColorMap256: array [0..255] of TRGB;
  bmp: TIEBitmap;
begin
  ImageEnView1.Proc.CalcImagePalette( MyColorMap256, 256 );
  bmp := TIEBitmap.Create();
  IEDrawColorPalette( bmp, MyColorMap256, 30, 30, 16 );
  bmp.SaveToFile( 'D:\Palette256.png' );
  bmp.Free;
end;

// Show 1000 colors of the image
var
  MyColorMap1000: array [0..999] of TRGB;
  aColor: TColors;
begin
  ImageEnView1.Proc.CalcImagePalette( MyColorMap1000, 1000 );
  IEPromptForColor( aColor, MyColorMap1000, 1000 );
end;
