vpGetImage(3)		    Library Functions Manual		   vpGetImage(3)

NAME
     vpGetImage - get a field of the intermediate image

SYNOPSIS
     #include <volpack.h>

     vpResult
     vpGetImage(vpc, image, width, height, scan_bytes, pixel_type, image_type)
	 vpContext *vpc;
	 void *image;
	 int width, height;
	 int scan_bytes;
	 int pixel_type, image_type;

ARGUMENTS
     vpc    VolPack context from vpCreateContext.

     image  2D array for storing result image.

     width  Width of array in pixels.

     height Height of array in pixels.

     scan_bytes
	    Number of bytes per scanline in array.

     pixel_type
	    Code indicating the format of each pixel in the array.

     image_type
	    Code  indicating  the  source  of the image data (VP_IMAGE_BUFFER or
	    VP_SHADOW_BUFFER).

DESCRIPTION
     This is a debugging function.  It is used to retrieve the contents  of  one
     of the temporary rendering buffers used during rendering, namely the inter-
     mediate  image or the shadow buffer.  Rendering consists of two stages: the
     volume is resampled and composited into the intermediate image to produce a
     distorted volume rendering, and then the intermediate image is warped  into
     the  final  image.   If  shadows are enabled then the shadow buffer is used
     during the first stage to incrementally compute which  voxels  are  illumi-
     nated  by	the  light source.  This function returns images produced during
     the first stage, before the final warp.

     This function may be called after a call to one of the  rendering	routines
     (see  vpRenderRawVolume(3)).  If the image_type argument is VP_IMAGE_BUFFER
     then data will be copied from the intermediate image.  The pixel_type argu-
     ment specifies what information to copy and the format for storing the data
     in the output array.  The possible values for pixel_type are  the	same  as
     for  the pixel_type argument to vpSetImage.  For instance, use VP_LUMINANCE
     to extract the grayscale intensity (assuming the  current	shader	produces
     grayscale pixels).

     If  the  image_type  argument  is VP_SHADOW_BUFFER then data will be copied
     from the shadow buffer.  The only valid option for pixel_type is  VP_ALPHA,
     since no color information is stored in the shadow buffer.

     See  vpSetImage  for details on the pixel formats, the layout of the output
     array, and the remaining arguments.

     To find the required size for the result array, use vpGeti with the  VP_IN-
     TERMEDIATE_WIDTH  and  VP_INTERMEDIATE_HEIGHT  options  (when image_type is
     VP_IMAGE_BUFFER) or the VP_SHADOW_WIDTH and VP_SHADOW_HEIGHT options  (when
     image_type is VP_SHADOW_BUFFER).

ERRORS
     The  normal  return  value is VP_OK.  The following error return values are
     possible:

     VPERROR_BAD_SIZE
	    The destination array size is incorrect or there is no  intermediate
	    image.

     VPERROR_BAD_OPTION
	    The field argument is invalid.
