NAME

       VistaIOCreateImage, VistaIOCreateImageLike - allocate memory for an image

SYNOPSIS

       #include <vistaio.h>

       VistaIOImage VistaIOCreateImage (nbands, nrows, ncolumns, pixel_repn)
              int nbands, nrows, ncolumns;
              VistaIORepnKind pixel_repn;

       VistaIOImage VistaIOCreateImageLike (src)
              VistaIOImage src;

ARGUMENTS

       nbands    Specifies the number of bands in the new image.

       nrows     Specifies the number of rows in the new image.

       ncolumns  Specifies the number of columns in the new image.

       pixel_repn
                 Specifies  the  representation  of  pixels  in the new image.  It must be one of
                 VistaIOBitRepn,    VistaIOUByteRepn,     VistaIOSByteRepn,     VistaIOShortRepn,
                 VistaIOLongRepn, VistaIOFloatRepn, or VistaIODoubleRepn.

       src       Specifies an image having the properties desired of the new image.

DESCRIPTION

       VistaIOCreateImage  allocates memory for a new image with the specified properties. Fields
       of the new image structure are initialized, as are the image's row and band  indices.  Its
       pixel  values,  however,  are  not initialized.  The new image is given an empty attribute
       list. The size of its frame band interpretation dimension (nframes) is set to nbands;  its
       other band interpretation dimensions (nviewpoints, ncolors, and ncomponents) are set to 1.

       VistaIOCreateImageLike  allocates  memory  for a new image with the same properties as src
       (same pixel representation, and same numbers of bands, rows, and columns).  Fields of  the
       new  image  structure  are initialized, as are the image's row and band indices. Its pixel
       values, however, are not initialized.  The new image is given a copy  of  src's  attribute
       list,  and the sizes of its band interpretation dimensions (nframes, ..., ncomponents) are
       set identical to those of src.

RETURN VALUES

       If successful, these routines return a pointer to  the  newly-allocated  image  structure.
       Otherwise, ther return NULL

DIAGNOSTICS

       ``Invalid number of dimension: value.''
              Dimension   is ``bands'', ``rows'', or ``columns''.  An inappropriate value, value,
              was specified for that dimension.

       ``Invalid pixel representation: repn.''
              The representation kind specified is not one of the valid pixel representations.
