Syntax

INT is_SetColorMode (HIDS hCam, INT Mode)

Description

is_SetColorMode() sets the color mode to be used when image data are saved or displayed by the graphics card. For this purpose, the allocated image memory must be large enough to accommodate the data with the selected color mode. When images are transferred directly to the graphics card memory, make sure that the display settings match the color mode settings. Otherwise, the images will be displayed with altered colors or are not clearly visible.

hint_info

Note on display modes

This function is only supported in the bitmap (DIB) display mode.

Use the is_SetDisplayMode() function to display other color formats in Direct3D or OpenGL mode.

 

UI-1007XS color formats

The UI-1007XS performs color conversion internally and currently supports the following color formats:

IS_CM_BGR8_PACKED

IS_CM_BGRA8_PACKED

IS_CM_CBYCRY_PACKED

IS_CM_JPEG

hint_info

Note on bit depth

Color formats with a bit depth of more than 8 bits per channel are only supported by the following models:

GigE uEye series

uEye USB 3.1 series

USB 3 uEye series

USB 2.0 models with rev. 3

Using color formats with higher bit depth increases the bandwidth used by a camera.

hint_info

Note on RGB15/16

For the RGB16 and RGB15 data formats, the MSBs of the internal 8-bit R, G and B colors are used.

hint_attention

The following color formats are currently not supported by GigE uEye cameras:

IS_CM_SENSOR_RAW10

IS_CM_MONO10

IS_CM_RGB10_UNPACKED

IS_CM_BGR10_UNPACKED

Input parameters

hCam

Camera handle

hmtoggle_plus0Mode: Color mode to be set. For a list of all available color formats and the associated input parameters, see the Appendix: Color and memory formats section.

Return values

When used together with
IS_GET_COLOR_MODE

Current setting

IS_GET_BITS_PER_PIXEL

Number of bits per pixel of the currently set color mode

IS_CANT_COMMUNICATE_WITH_DRIVER

Communication with the driver failed because no driver has been loaded.

IS_CAPTURE_RUNNING

A capturing operation is in progress and must be terminated first.

IS_INVALID_CAMERA_TYPE

The camera type defined in the .ini file does not match the current camera model.

IS_INVALID_COLOR_FORMAT

Invalid color format

IS_INVALID_CAMERA_HANDLE

Invalid camera handle

IS_INVALID_MODE

Camera is in standby mode, function not allowed

IS_INVALID_PARAMETER

One of the submitted parameters is outside the valid range or is not supported for this sensor or is not available in this mode.

IS_IO_REQUEST_FAILED

An IO request from the uEye driver failed. Possibly the versions of the ueye_api.dll (API) and the driver file (ueye_usb.sys or ueye_eth.sys) do not match.

IS_NO_IR_FILTER

No IR filter available

IS_NO_SUCCESS

General error message

IS_NOT_CALIBRATED

The camera does not contain any calibration data.

IS_NOT_SUPPORTED

The camera model used here does not support this function or setting.

IS_NULL_POINTER

Invalid array

IS_OUT_OF_MEMORY

No memory could be allocated.

IS_SUCCESS

Function executed successfully

IS_TIMED_OUT

A timeout occurred. An image capturing process could not be terminated within the allowable period.
