Hallo!
copy2Image copies all the meta-information AND the pixel-data from the given image into img. copy2ImageStruct only copies the meta-information and a reference to the data of the argument; thus it is very fast (not much copying done); the drawback is, that if the data is changed in place by a downstream object, it will be changed in the pix_buffer.
yes - I read it in the comments ... but I didn't know about the [pix_buf] object ...
i guess you just discovered that and are annoyed by it...
yes
thus the user can change whether they want speed or constant data.
(so i don't really feel like changing it)
yes, of course, no need to change ...
thanks, LG Georg
