A pointer to the pixels is returned if the pixels are transferred, otherwise a NULL is returned. The format of the AcquireCacheView method is: const PixelPacket *AcquireCacheView ( const ViewInfo *view, const long x, const long y, const unsigned long columns, const unsigned long rows, ExceptionInfo *exception ); A description of each parameter follows: pixels: Method GetCacheView returns a null pointer if an error occurs, otherwise a pointer to the view pixels. view: The address of a structure of type ViewInfo. x,y,columns,rows: These values define the perimeter of a region of pixels. exception: Return any errors or warnings in this structure. ## CloseCacheView CloseCacheView() closes the specified view returned by a previous call to OpenCacheView ( ) . The format of the CloseCacheView method is: void CloseCacheView ( ViewInfo *view ); A description of each parameter follows: view: The address of a structure of type ViewInfo. ## GetCacheView GetCacheView() gets pixels from the in-memory or disk pixel cache as defined by the geometry parameters. A pointer to the pixels is returned if the pixels are transferred, otherwise a NULL is returned. The format of the GetCacheView method is: PixelPacket *GetCacheView ( ViewInfo *view, const long x, const long y, const unsigned long columns, const unsigned long rows ); A description of each parameter follows: pixels: Method GetCacheView returns a null pointer if an error occurs, otherwise a pointer to the view pixels. view: The address of a structure of type ViewInfo. x,y,columns,rows: These values define the perimeter of a region of pixels. ## GetCacheViewIndexes Method GetCacheViewIndexes returns the indexes associated with the specified view. The format of the GetCacheViewIndexes method is: IndexPacket *GetCacheViewIndexes ( const ViewInfo *view ); A description of each parameter follows: indexes: Method GetCacheViewIndexes returns the indexes associated with the specified view. view: The address of a structure of type ViewInfo. ## GetCacheViewPixels GetCacheViewPixels() returns the pixels associated with the specified specified view. The format of the GetCacheViewPixels method is: PixelPacket *GetCacheViewPixels ( const ViewInfo *view ); A description of each parameter follows: view: The address of a structure of type ViewInfo. ## OpenCacheView OpenCacheView() opens a view into the pixel cache. The format of the OpenCacheView method is: ViewInfo *OpenCacheView ( Image *image ); A description of each parameter follows: image: The image. ## SetCacheView SetCacheView() gets pixels from the in-memory or disk pixel cache as defined by the geometry parameters. A pointer to the pixels is returned if the pixels are transferred, otherwise a NULL is returned. The format of the SetCacheView method is: PixelPacket *SetCacheView ( ViewInfo *view, const long x, const long y, const unsigned long columns, const unsigned long rows ); A description of each parameter follows: view: The address of a structure of type ViewInfo. x,y,columns,rows: These values define the perimeter of a region of pixels. ## SyncCacheView SyncCacheView() saves the view pixels to the in-memory or disk cache. The method returns True if the pixel region is synced, otherwise False. The format of the SyncCacheView method is: unsigned int SyncCacheView ( ViewInfo *view ); A description of each parameter follows: view: The address of a structure of type ViewInfo.
