Pixel-interleaved data

This page applies to Harlequin v13.1r0 and later; and to Harlequin MultiRIP but not Harlequin Core

Pixel‐interleaved output data stores the three‐ or four‐color channel values that make up a pixel together in consecutive bytes, then follows this by the values for the next pixel, and so on.

Pixel interleaved data can be generated at 8 bits per color channel and only in 1, 3 or 4 channels. In the pageHeader structure (The pageHeader structure ) these formats can be expressed with colorType_general as follows:

numChannels = 1, 3, or 4

rasterDepth = 8 or 16

interleavingStyle = interleavingStyle_pixel
