D2D1_COLOR_SPACE space,
[in, optional] const BYTE *profile,
UINT32 profileSize,
[out] ID2D1ColorContext **colorContext
);
Parameters
space
Type: D2D1_COLOR_SPACE
The space of color context to create.
[in, optional] profile
Type: const BYTE*
A buffer containing the ICC profile bytes used to initialize the color context when space is D2D1_COLOR_SPACE_CUSTOM. For other types, the parameter is ignored and should be set to NULL.
profileSize
Type: UINT32
The size in bytes of Profile.
[out] colorContext
Type: ID2D1ColorContext**
When this method returns, contains the address of a pointer to a new color context object.
Return value
Type: HRESULT
The method returns an HRESULT. Possible values include, but are not limited to, those in the following table.
| HRESULT | Description |
|---|---|
| S_OK | No error occurred. |
| E_OUTOFMEMORY | Direct2D could not allocate sufficient memory to complete the call. |
| E_INVALIDARG | An invalid value was passed to the method. |
Remarks
The new color context can be used in D2D1_BITMAP_PROPERTIES1 to initialize the color context of a created bitmap.
When space is D2D1_COLOR_SPACE_CUSTOM, profile and profileSize must be specified. Otherwise, these parameters should be set to NULL and zero respectively. When the space is D2D1_COLOR_SPACE_CUSTOM, the model field of the profile header is inspected to determine if this profile is sRGB or scRGB and the color space is updated respectively. Otherwise the space remains custom.
