SpriteDescription Structure

Sprite samples may be compressed using a data compression codec.



 
struct SpriteDescription {

    long        descSize;       /* total size of 

                            SpriteDescription including extra data */

    long        dataFormat;     /*  */

    long        resvd1;         /* reserved for apple use */

    short       resvd2;

    short       dataRefIndex;

    long        version;            /* which version is this data */

    OSType      decompressorType;   /* which decompressor to use, 0 for 

                                    no decompression */

    long        sampleFlags;        /* how to interpret samples */

};

typedef struct SpriteDescription        SpriteDescription;

typedef SpriteDescription *             SpriteDescriptionPtr;

typedef SpriteDescriptionPtr *          SpriteDescriptionHandle;

decompressorType: This field in the SpriteDescription sample description structure allows a data decompressor component type to be specified. If this field is nonzero, a component of the specified type is used to decompress the sprite sample when it is loaded.
