ImageAttributes::SetGamma method (gdiplusimageattributes.h)
The ImageAttributes::SetGamma method sets the gamma value for a specified category.
Syntax
Status SetGamma(
[in] REAL gamma,
[in, optional] ColorAdjustType type
);
Parameters
[in] gamma
Type: REAL
REAL number that specifies the gamma value.
[in, optional] type
Type: ColorAdjustType
Element of the ColorAdjustType enumeration that specifies the category for which the gamma value is set. The default value is ColorAdjustTypeDefault.
Return value
Type: Status
If the method succeeds, it returns Ok, which is an element of the Status enumeration.
If the method fails, it returns one of the other elements of the Status enumeration.
Remarks
An ImageAttributes object maintains color and grayscale settings for five adjustment categories: default, bitmap, brush, pen, and text. For example, you can specify a gamma value for the default category, a different gamma value for the bitmap category, and still a different gamma value for the pen category.
The default color- and grayscale-adjustment settings apply to all categories that don't have adjustment settings of their own. For example, if you never specify any adjustment settings for the pen category, then the default settings apply to the pen category.
As soon as you specify a color- or grayscale-adjustment setting for a certain category, the default adjustment settings no longer apply to that category. For example, suppose you specify a collection of adjustment settings for the default category. If you set the gamma value for the pen category by passing ColorAdjustTypePen to the ImageAttributes::SetGamma method, then none of the default adjustment settings will apply to pens.
