Syntax
void McolSave(
MIL_CONST_TEXT_PTR FileName, //in
MIL_ID ContextId, //in
MIL_INT64 ControlFlag //in
)
Description

This function saves to disk all the information about the previously allocated color matching or relative color calibration context (and the color-samples contained therein). However, preprocessing information is not saved. You can reload the saved information, using McolRestore() or McolStream().

Note that this function reference has not been updated for a MIL system added during a MIL update. Refer to the MIL system's release note to see if there is complementary information.
Parameters
This function is not supported on the selected boards.
Parameters
FileName

Specifies the name and path of the file in which to save the context. Set this parameter to one of the following values:

function map For specifying the file name and path
CollapseValue Description
Collapse M_INTERACTIVE
[This is only applicable to Windows]

Opens the File Save As dialog box from which you can interactively specify the drive, directory, and name of the file.
Collapse MIL_TEXT("FileName") 1

Specifies the drive, directory, and name of the file (for example, "C:\mydirectory\myfile"). For easier use with other Matrox Imaging software products, when saving a color matching context to a file, use the MCOL file extension. When saving a relative color calibration context to a file, use the MCCC file extension.

To save the file on the remote computer (under Distributed MIL), prefix the specified file name string with "remote:///" (for example, "remote:///C:\mydirectory\myfile").

(summarize)

1 If you are passing the value in a variable, don't enclose it in MIL_TEXT().

ContextId

Specifies the identifier of the context to save. The context must have been previously allocated on the required system using McolAlloc() with M_COLOR_CALIBRATION_RELATIVE or M_COLOR_MATCHING.

ControlFlag

Reserved for future expansion and must be set to M_DEFAULT.
