ImageMagick may be compiled to support 32 or 64 bit pixels. The size of PixelPacket is controlled by the value of the <i>QuantumDepth</i> define. The default is 64 bit pixels, which provide the best accuracy. If memory consumption must be minimized, or processing time must be minimized, then ImageMagick may be compiled with QuantumDepth=8. The following table shows the relationship between <i>QuantumDepth</i>, the type of <i>Quantum</i>, and the overall <i>PixelPacket</i> size.</p> <br /> <p align="center" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"><b>Effect Of QuantumDepth Values</b></p> <center> <table width="336" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="3" bgcolor="#CCCCCC"> <col width="101" /> <col width="99" /> <col width="110" /> <tr> <td width="101"> <p align="center"><b>QuantumDepth</b></p></td> <td width="99"> <p align="center"><b>Quantum Type</b></p></td> <td width="110"> <p align="center"><b>PixelPacket Size</b></p></td></tr> <tr> <td width="101"> <p align="center">8</p></td> <td width="99"> <p align="center">unsigned char</p></td> <td width="110"> <p align="center">32 bits</p></td></tr> <tr> <td width="101"> <p align="center">16</p></td> <td width="99"> <p align="center">unsigned short</p></td> <td width="110"> <p align="center">64 bits</p></td></tr></table></center> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">The members of the <i>PixelPacket</i> structure, and their interpretation, are shown in the following table:</p> <br /> <p align="center" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"><b>PixelPacket Structure Members</b></p> <center> <table width="523" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="3" bgcolor="#CCCCCC"> <col width="58" /> <col width="50" /> <col width="102" /> <col width="152" /> <col width="119" /> <tr> <td rowspan="2" width="58"> <p align="center"><b>Member</b></p></td> <td rowspan="2" width="50"> <p align="center"><b>Type</b></p></td> <td colspan="3" width="388"> <p align="center"><b>Interpretation</b></p></td></tr> <tr> <td width="102"> <p align="center"><a href="Enumerations.html#ColorspaceType">RGBColorspace</a></p></td> <td width="152"> <p align="center"><a href="Enumerations.html#ColorspaceType">RGBColorspace</a> + <a href="Image++.html#matte">matte</a></p></td> <td width="119"> <p align="center"><a href="Enumerations.html#ColorspaceType">CMYKColorspace</a></p></td></tr> <tr> <td width="58"> <p><font size="2">red</font></p></td> <td width="50"> <p><font size="2">Quantum</font></p></td> <td width="102"> <p><font size="2">Red</font></p></td> <td width="152"> <p><font size="2">Red</font></p></td> <td width="119"> <p><font size="2">Cyan</font></p></td></tr> <tr> <td width="58"> <p><font size="2">green</font></p></td> <td width="50"> <p><font size="2">Quantum</font></p></td> <td width="102"> <p><font size="2">Green</font></p></td> <td width="152"> <p><font size="2">Green</font></p></td> <td width="119"> <p><font size="2">Magenta</font></p></td></tr> <tr> <td width="58"> <p><font size="2">blue</font></p></td> <td width="50"> <p><font size="2">Quantum</font></p></td> <td width="102"> <p><font size="2">Blue</font></p></td> <td width="152"> <p><font size="2">Blue</font></p></td> <td width="119"> <p><font size="2">Yellow</font></p></td></tr> <tr> <td width="58"> <p><font size="2">opacity</font></p></td> <td width="50"> <p><font size="2">Quantum</font></p></td> <td width="102"> <p><font size="2">Ignored</font></p></td> <td width="152"> <p><font size="2">Opacity</font></p></td> <td width="119"> <p><font size="2">Ignored</font></p></td></tr></table></center> </div> </body> </html>
