IMcOperationsConversion Property

Property Value

Type: mcConversionMode

For new applications it is recommended that you use AddEx, SubEx, DiffEx, MultEx, DivEx and Div2Ex, for which the mcConversionMode is passed as an argument and this Conversion property has no effect. For other operations, if the operation will apply to two images, and the images are not of the same bit-depth (as described by the image's %McImage~Type%), then the right-hand operand image will be converted to the type of the destination image prior to the operation. This property specifies if pixel conversions should scale the right-hand pixels to match the destination bit-depth (mccmScale) or should use the right-hand pixel values without scaling (mccmDirect). The initial state of the Conversion property is mccmScale, which is usually appropriate for Avg, Min, Max and all of the logical operations (And, Or, Xor, etcetera). For the binary arithmetic operations, mccmDirect is usually needed, and this is the default for the ConversionMode argument for the AddEx, SubEx, DiffEx, MultEx, DivEx and Div2Ex operations. The ResetProperties method resets the Conversion property to mccmScale.
