First of all, Maria, I want to recognize the COLOSSAL amount of trabajo that LittleCMS represent -- es mas grande que la montana de Gilbraltar!
It took me a while to get to donde estoy ahora. No estoy perdido pero hay mucho de saber! I use MS VisualStudio2013 and my target platform is Windows. At this stage, I don't care about portability. I managed to compile lcms2.dll. Puedo ver todas las functiones con un programma "DLL Export Viewer". But before I take the dive to try write calls por cada functiones from C#, I want to be able to get to know LittleCMS a little better. So I was able to execute transicc.exe. I think it's the most logical place to start. I have to say how impressed and horrified at the amount of memory management that must be done in C in order to declare and instantiate variables. It is mind-boggling. Structures, pointers, arrays, de-referencing, facilmente el media (half) de todo el codigo es dedicated to malloc and checking bounds and all kinds of type safeties, in order to prevent the program from crashing. I understand there could be a lot of junk in these ICC profiles pero it makes tracing through the logic of the execution doloroso. (At this stage, I don't care for this low-level code :() The functions that decode the profile are HUGE. There is a lot of code involved. Tracing through ALL that code is quite an effort. I am not a seasoned C programmer like you and many others on this list. I looked at the documentation of the API (LittleCMS2.6 tutorial.pdf) pero no hay section dedicated to converting simple colors like RGB values 128, 128, 128 to CMYK or Lab or XYZ, the way transicc offers? Most examples in the PDF related to transforming bitmaps. I want to get to transforming images at some point in time, de verdad, pero, to begin, yo quiero trabajar con simple values -- and away from pixels and complex image formats. Entonces, muchas gracias por todo. I will try to continue my adventure in LittleCMS ;-) / Roger Breton (Desculpa por mi espanol, no tengo mucha opportunidad di praticare...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Lcms-user mailing list Lcms-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lcms-user
