Returns a WIC GUID for a given file container given a simple enumeration value. This function is optional and you can instead use the WIC container GUID directly instead.
REFGUID GetWICCodec( _In_ WICCodecs codec );
Parameters
The
codecs enumeration is one of the following values:
- WIC_CODEC_BMP Windows Bitmap (.bmp)
- WIC_CODEC_JPEG Joint Photographic Experts Group (.jpg, .jpeg)
- WIC_CODEC_PNG Portable Network Graphics (.png)
- WIC_CODEC_TIFF Tagged Image File Format (.tif, .tiff)
- WIC_CODEC_GIF Graphics Interchange Format (.gif)
- WIC_CODEC_WMP Windows Media Photo / HD Photo / JPEG XR (.hdp, .jxr, .wdp).
- WIC_CODEC_ICO Windows Icon (.ico)
Remarks
The primary benefit of this function is that you don't require including <wincodec.h> for every client module that calls DirectXTex's
WIC I/O Functions.
Platform notes
Do not use WIC_CODEC_WMP for Xbox One XDK applications as the WMP / HD Photo WIC codec is not supported by that platform.
