Detailed Description

Structure for picture conversion using MIME identifier.

Remarks

This structure is used as a parameter of the ACAPI_Conversion_ConvertMimePicture goody function to convert a picture from a given format into another using MIME types. You can also set a special format on Windows in the mimeOut field: "vnd/DIB" results in outputHdl containing a device independent bitmap. In some cases the image handle contains the MIME type as well. For example pictures in Library Parts are stored in a handle that begins with the '\0'-terminated MIME type string, and then follows the image itself. If inputHdl is in this format, set the inContainsMime field to true. In this case the mimeIn parameter is ignored.
