1 - Profile & Transform functions
_________________________________

 These are the basic functions on making transformations. For
 simpler operation, you must open two profiles using
 cmsOpenProfileFromFile(), then create a transform with these
 opened profiles with cmsCreateTransform(). Using this transform
 you can color correct your bitmaps by cmsDoTransform(). When you
 are done you must free the transform AND the profiles by
 cmsDeleteTransform() and cmsCloseProfile().


_________________________________________________________________________________

 cmsHPROFILE cmsOpenProfileFromFile(const char *ICCProfile, const char *sAccess);
_________________________________________________________________________________

 Opens a profile returning a handle to it. The profile must be
 contained in a file on disk.

Parameters:

        ICCProfile:   File name w/ full path.
        sAccess:      "r" for normal operation, "w" for profile creation

Returns:

          NULL on error, a profile handle on success.

Example:

                void GetProductNameOf(const char *ICMProfileFile)
                {
                cmsHPROFILE hProfile

                        hProfile = cmsOpenProfileFromFile(ICMProfileFile, "r");
                        if (hProfile == NULL) printf("Error!");
                        else {
                        printf("%s\n", cmsGetProductName(hProfile));
                        cmsCloseProfile(hProfile);
                        }
                }

_________________________________________________________________________________

cmsHPROFILE cmsOpenProfileFromMem(LPVOID MemPtr, DWORD dwSize);
_________________________________________________________________________________

  Same as anterior, but profile is contained in memory. Usefull
  for embedded profiles. MemPtr must point to a buffer of at
  least dwSize bytes. This buffer must hold a full profile image.
  Memory must be contiguous.

Parameters:

       MemPtr: Points to a block of contiguous memory containing the profile
       dwSize: Profile's size measured in bytes.

Returns:

       NULL on error, a profile handle on success.


_________________________________________________________________________________

BOOL  cmsCloseProfile(cmsHPROFILE hProfile);
_________________________________________________________________________________

  Closes a profile handle and frees associated memory. Note that
  cmsDeleteTransform() does NOT close the involved profiles. You
  must close any opened profile handle on cleanup.


Parameters:
                hProfile: Handle to an open profile

Returns:
                FALSE on error, TRUE on success

Comments:

  Can return error when creating profile if the profile is not
  properly flushed to disk.

  cmsHTRANSFORM cmsCreateTransform(cmsHPROFILE Input,
                                       DWORD InputFormat,
                                       cmsHPROFILE Output,
                                       DWORD OutputFormat,
                                       int Intent,
                                       DWORD dwFlags);                             .
_________________________________________________________________________________

Creates a transform for translating bitmaps.

Parameters:

   Input, Output:    Input, Output profile handles

 Input, Output format: This value describes how values are to be
                       coded. It is formed by a combination of
                       channels, bitdepths andextra samples. See
                       below.

        for example:

                     TYPE_BGR_8  : 3 channels of 8 bits, using Windows convention
                     TYPE_RGB_8  : 3 channels of 8 bits per component
                     TYPE_RGB_16 : 3 channels of 16 bits per component
                     TYPE_RGBA_8 : 4 channels, 3 containing RGB of 8 bpc, and one channel of 8 bits holding alpha
                     ...

  Note than even some Lab and XYZ are defined, these specifiers
  has nothing to do with colorspaces, but only how data is
  encoded. The CMM will only check for same colorspace as profile.


  Intent: The ICC intent to apply. If an appropiate tag for this
          intent is not found, no error is raised and the intent
          is reverted to perceptual. See the tutorial for a 
          explanation of intents.


              INTENT_PERCEPTUAL                                 0
              INTENT_RELATIVE_COLORIMETRIC                      1
              INTENT_SATURATION                                 2
              INTENT_ABSOLUTE_COLORIMETRIC                      3



   dwFlags: This value commands on how to handle the whole
            process. Some or none of this values can be joined
            via the or | operator.


        cmsFLAGS_MATRIXINPUT: CLUT ignored on input profile,
                              matrix-shaper used instead (for
                              speed, and debugging purposes)

        cmsFLAGS_MATRIXOUTPUT: Same as anterior, but for output
                               profile only.

        cmsFLAGS_MATRIXONLY: Both input and output are forced to
                             matrix-shaper.

        cmsFLAGS_NOTPRECALC: By default, lcms smelt luts into a
                             device-link CLUT. This speedup whole
                             transform greatly. If you don't
                             wanna this, and wish every value to
                             be translated to PCS and back to
                             output space, include this flag.
       

        cmsFLAGS_NULLTRANFORM: Don't transform anyway, only apply
                             pack/unpack routines (usefull to
                             deactivate color correction but keep
                             formatting capabilities)

        cmsFLAGS_HIGHRESPRECALC: Use 48 points instead of 33 for 
                             device-link CLUT precalculation. Not needed
                             but for the most extreme cases of mismatch 
                             of "impedance" between profiles.


        cmsFLAGS_LOWRESPRECALC: Use lower resolution table. 

        cmsFLAGS_BLACKPOINTCOMPENSATION: Use BPC algorithm.

        cmsFLAGS_GRIDPOINTS(n): You can specify the desired number of gridpoints 
                            in devicelink by using this macro in the flags.


Returns:

       NULL on error, a transform handle on success.

Comments:

 This function tries to build a device link profile using the
 Input and Output profiles. This small time-consuming penalty (3
 sec. on a Pentium-100) does accelerate the bitmap transform
 process greately. You can override this behaviour if you wish,
 or if you plan to transform only a couple of pixels by using
 cmsFLAGS_NOTPRECALC on dwFlags parameter. But normally it will
 be better leave this flag alone.

 Also, in this function is where you must specify the format of
 the input and output bitmaps. The InputFormat and OutputFormat
 parameters are formed by combining several bits:

// Format of pixel is defined by one integer, using bits as follows
//
//            TTTTT - Y F P X S EEE CCCC BBB
//
//            T: Pixeltype
//            F: Flavor  0=MinIsBlack(Chocolate) 1=MinIsWhite(Vanilla)
//            P: Planar? 0=Chunky, 1=Planar
//            X: swap 16 bps endianess?
//            S: Do swap? ie, BGR, KYMC
//            E: Extra samples
//            C: Channels (Samples per pixel)
//            B: Bytes per sample
//            Y: Swap first - changes ABGR to BGRA and KCMY to CMYK
//            -: Unused (reserved)



lcms.h does include several predefined specifiers, as examples:

 TYPE_RGB_8     8 bits per sample RGB
 TYPE_BGR_8     8 bits per sample BGR (Windows Bitmaps are often
                  coded in this way)
 TYPE_RGB_16    16 bits per sample RGB
 TYPE_RGBA_8    8 bits per sample RGB plus alpha channel. Alpha is
                  ignored by lcms.
 TYPE_RGBA_16   16 bits per sample RGB plus alpha.
 TYPE_XYZ_16    16 bits fixed 15.16 XYZ (used in PCS)
 TYPE_Lab_8     8 bits per sample Lab
 TYPE_Lab_16    16 bits per sample Lab
 TYPE_CMY_8     8 bits per sample CMY
 TYPE_CMY_16    16 bits per sample CMY
 TYPE_CMYK_8    8 bits per sample CMYK
 TYPE_CMYK_16   16 bits per sample CMY

You can build your own specifiers if you wish by combining the following macros with the bitwise OR operator |


 DOSWAP_SH(e)           1 or 0 depending on swap even channels
 EXTRA_SH(e)            up to 7 extra channels
 CHANNELS_SH(c)         up to 4 handled channels
 BYTES_SH(b)            1 if 16 bits per sample, 0 if 8 bits per sample
 ENDIAN16_SH(e)         1 if 16 bits samples comes swapped.
 SWAPFIRST_SH(s)        1 changes ABGR to BGRA and KCMY to CMYK
 FLAVOR_SH(s)           0 = BlackIsZero (Chocolate) 1=WhiteIsZero (Vanilla, Negative)
 PLANAR_SH(p)           0 = Chunky, 1=Planar
 COLORSPACE_SH(s)

    Available Colorspaces
    =====================

    PT_ANY       Don't check colorspace
                 1 & 2 are reserved
    PT_GRAY      
    PT_RGB       
    PT_CMY       
    PT_CMYK      
    PT_YCbCr     
    PT_YUV       
    PT_XYZ       
    PT_Lab       
    PT_YUVK      
    PT_HSV       
    PT_HLS

cmsHTRANSFORM cdecl cmsCreateProofingTransform(cmsHPROFILE Input,
                        DWORD InputFormat,
                        cmsHPROFILE Output,
                        DWORD OutputFormat,

                        DWORD dwFlags);
_________________________________________________________________________________


  Same as cmsCreateTransform(), but including soft-proofing. The
  obtained transform emulates the device described by the
  "Proofing" profile. Useful to preview final result whithout
  rendering to physical medium.

  Parameters and returns same as anterior, but with the addition of

        Proofing: a handle to proofing profile.

        ProofingIntent: Is the intent for translating emulated
                        colors. Default is

                            INTENT_ABSOLUTE_COLORIMETRIC.

       dwFlags: 


        cmsFLAGS_GAMUTCHECK: Color out of gamut are flagged to a
                             fixed color defined by the function
                             cmsSetAlarmCodes(int r, int g, int b);
        
        cmsFLAGS_SOFTPROOFING: (Does need preview tag to work) does
                             emulate the Proofing device.


  You need to add a combination of these flags to enable any proof!

cmsHTRANSFORM cmsCreateMultiprofileTransform(cmsHPROFILE hProfiles[],
                                                     int nProfiles,
                                                   DWORD InputFormat,
                                                   DWORD OutputFormat,
                                                     int Intent,
                                                   DWORD dwFlags);
_________________________________________________________________________________


  User passes in an array of handles to open profiles. The returned handle 
  does "smelt" all profiles in only one devicelink. Following rules should
  be followed:

    - Colorspaces must be paired with the exception of
      Lab/XYZ, that can be interchanged.  

    - Profile must be Matrix-shaper, or hold the 
      apropiate tag, device-to-pcs or pcs-to-device on depending
      on profile location.

    - All colorspaces up to 4 (significant) channels can be used 
      anywhere on the chain, Hexachrome separation or more can only 
      appair at last step. This limitation is intended to be solved in 
      future releases.
    

 Let's take as example, how to apply a abstract profile into a SRGB image.
 The chain would be sRGB -> Abstract -> sRGB. So, we would open sRGB and the 
 abstract profile, and fill the array

        Profiles[0] = hsRGB;
        Profiles[1] = hAbstract;
        Profiles[2] = hsRGB;

    cmsCreateMultiprofileTransform(Profiles, 3, TYPE_RGB_8, TYPE_RGB_8, INTENT_PERCEPTUAL, 0);



 WARNING: he dE rises with the number of profiles.

 This can be used, for example, with abstract profiles. For example, abstract
 profiles can be applied into a typical profile-to-profile color flow to model
 viewing conditions.

 Once created, the transform will behave just like any other. 


_________________________________________________________________________________

void cmsDeleteTransform(cmsHTRANSFORM hTransform);
_________________________________________________________________________________

Closes a transform handle and frees associated memory.

Parameters:
                hTransform: The transform handle to be deleted.


  Comments: This function does NOT free any profiles associated
  with the transform. Is programmer's responsability to free
  them.



_________________________________________________________________________________

void cmsDoTransform(cmsHTRANSFORM hTransform,
                                  LPVOID InputBuffer,
                                  LPVOID OutputBuffer, unsigned int Size);
_________________________________________________________________________________

  This function translates bitmaps according of transform. Format
  of buffers is described by InputFormat and OutputFormat
  parameters in function cmsCreateTransform() or
  cmsCreateProofingTransform()

Parameters:
                hTransform: A handle to a transform describing the translation.
                InputBuffer: A pointer to a input bitmap
                OutputBuffer: A pointer to a output bitmap.
                Size: the number of PIXELS to be transformed.

Comments:

  Windows, stores the bitmaps in a particular way... for speed
  purposes, does align the scanlines to doubleword boundaries, so
  a bitmap has in windows always a size multiple of 4. This is
  ok, since no matter if you waste a couple of bytes, but if you
  call cmsDoTransform() and passes it WHOLE image, lcms doesn't
  know nothing about this extra padding bytes. So, it assumes
  that you are passing a block of BGR triplets with no alignment
  at all. This result in a strange looking "lines" in obtained
  bitmap.

  The solution most evident is to convert scanline by scanline
  instead of whole image. This is as easy as to add a for() loop,
  and the time penalty is so low that is impossible to detect.



_________________________________________________________________________________

void cmsChangeBuffersFormat(cmsHTRANSFORM hTransform, 
                                        DWORD dwInputFormat, 
                                        DWORD dwOutputFormat)
_________________________________________________________________________________


 This function does change the encoding of buffers in a yet-existing transform.

 
 Parameters:

  hTransform: A handle to the transform.

  Input, Output format: This value describes how values are to be
                       coded. It is formed by a combination of
                       channels, bitdepths andextra samples. 
                       See cmsCreateTransform for more info.

  Notes:

    Colorspace is *not* checked


_________________________________________________________________________________

cmsHPROFILE cmsTransform2DeviceLink(cmsHTRANSFORM hTransform, DWORD dwFlags);
_________________________________________________________________________________


  Coonverts a yet-existing transform into a device-link profile. This profile
  can be used in any other transform or saved to disk/memory.

Parameters:

    hTransform: A handle to the transform.

    Flags: Usually 0. The devicelink LUT will have so many points as the 
           transform that generates it. However, some transforms like those
           from matrix-shaper to matrix shaper, has no LUT, and only in such 
           special cases this parameter can be used to define the render 
           resolution. 
           
           It can be:

                    cmsFLAGS_HIGHRESPRECALC           
                    cmsFLAGS_LOWRESPRECALC            

            But this applies only to matrix-shaper to matrix-shaper.  
    


2 - Information functions
_________________________________________________________________________________

  These functions are intended for identify profiles. Its main use 
  if for building user interfaces.



_________________________________________________________________________________

_________________________________________________________________________________

  INTERNAL, USE WITH CAUTION.

   Used to inform the profile writting logic that all LUTS should be written 
   in 8-bit resolution. lcms currently allows to write profiles with same 
   resolution in all LUTS. Incoming versions may fix that.

Parameters:

        hProfile: Handle to an open profile

        depth: either 8 or 16

6 - Gamma handling functions
_________________________________________________________________________________


  This is the struct of a gamma table (or transfer function)

  typedef struct {
              int  nEntries;
              WORD GammaTable[1];

              } GAMMATABLE, FAR* LPGAMMATABLE;

  That is, first it comes a 32 integer for entry count, followed of
  a variable number of words describing the table. The easiest way to
  generate a gamma table is to use the following function


_________________________________________________________________________________

LPGAMMATABLE cmsBuildGamma(int nEntries, double Gamma);
_________________________________________________________________________________

  Allocates an fill a table describing generic gamma.

  You must specify the number of entries your table will consist of,
  and the float value for gamma.

_________________________________________________________________________________

LPGAMMATABLE  cmsBuildParametricGamma(int nEntries, int Type, double Params[]);
_________________________________________________________________________________


    Does build a parametric curve based on parameters.

     Params[] does contain Gamma, a, b, c, d, e, f
                    
                
        Type 1 : 
                    X = Y ^ Gamma   | Gamma = Params[0]

        Type 2 : 
                     CIE 122-1966
                     Y = (aX + b)^Gamma  | X >= -b/a
                     Y = 0               | else
        Type 3: 

                     IEC 61966-3
                     Y = (aX + b)^Gamma | X <= -b/a
                     Y = c              | else
                
        Type 4: 
                    IEC 61966-2.1 (sRGB)
                    Y = (aX + b)^Gamma | X >= d
                    Y = cX             | X < d
                
        Type 5: 

                    Y = (aX + b)^Gamma + e | X <= d
                    Y = cX + f             | else
                

  Giving negative values for Type does result in reversed curve.


_________________________________________________________________________________

LPGAMMATABLE cmsAllocGamma(int nEntries);
_________________________________________________________________________________

  Allocates space for a gamma table, memory is unitialized.


_________________________________________________________________________________

void cmsFreeGamma(LPGAMMATABLE Gamma);
_________________________________________________________________________________

  Frees a gamma table


_________________________________________________________________________________

LPGAMMATABLE cmsReverseGamma(int nResultSamples, LPGAMMATABLE InGamma);
_________________________________________________________________________________

  Reverses a gamma table resampling it in a new table.

  This function reverses the gamma table if it can be done. lcms does not
  detect whatever a non-monotonic function is given, so wrong input can
  result in ugly results: not to be a problem since "normal" gamma curves
  are not collapsing inputs at same output value. The new curve will be
  resampled to nResultSamples entries.


_________________________________________________________________________________

LPGAMMATABLE cmsJoinGamma(LPGAMMATABLE InGamma, LPGAMMATABLE OutGamma);
_________________________________________________________________________________

 Obtains a table joining two tables, one as input and other as
 output. Output table is reversed and then composited with input gamma.

 This will let you to "refine" the generic gamma for monitors (2.1 or 2.2
 are usual values) to match viewing conditions of more or less background
 light. Note that this function uses TABULATED functions, so very exotic
 curves can be obtained by combining transfer functions with reversed
 gamma curves. Normally there is no need of worry about such gamma
 manipulations, but the functionality is here if you wish to use.


_________________________________________________________________________________

BOOL cmsSmoothGamma(LPGAMMATABLE Tab, double lambda);
_________________________________________________________________________________

 Does smooth the curve contained into Tab. Smooth  curves does work better
 and more pleasant to eye.

Parameters:
    
    Tab: Table to be smoothed
    lambda: The smoothing factor. 0..500 is the working range.

Returns:

    TRUE on success. FALSE on error

_________________________________________________________________________________


  The model input data are the adapting field luminance in cd/m2
  (normally taken to be 20% of the luminance of white in the adapting field),
  La , the relative tristimulus values of the stimulus, XYZ, the relative
  tristimulus values of white in the same viewing conditions, "whitePoint",
  and the relative luminance of the background, Yb . Relative tristimulus
  values should be expressed on a scale from Y = 0 for a perfect black
  to Y = 100 for a perfect reflecting diffuser. 

  All CIE tristimulus values are obtained using the CIE 1931 Standard 
  Colorimetric Observer (2°).

int cmsSample3DGrid(LPLUT Lut, 
                    _cmsSAMPLER Sampler, 
                    LPVOID Cargo, DWORD dwFlags);
_________________________________________________________________________________

  Builds the CLUT table by calling repeatly a supplied callback function


typedef int (* _cmsSAMPLER)(register WORD In[],
                            register WORD Out[],
                            register LPVOID Cargo);


   The programmer has to write a callback function. This function
   should calculate Out values given a In[] set. For example, if we 
   want a LUT to invert channels, a sampler could be:

   int InvertSampler(register WORD In[],
                            register WORD Out[],
                            register LPVOID Cargo)
    {
        for (i=0; i < 3; i++)
                Out[i] = ~ In[i];

    return 0;
    }


    cmsSample3DGrid does call this function to build the CLUT. 
    Pre/post linearization tables may be taken into account across
    flags parameter

        Flags                   Meaning
    ================        =======================================
    LUT_HASTL1              Do reverse linear interpolation on 
                            prelinearization table before calling 
                            the callback.

    LUT_HASTL2              Do reverse linear interpolation on
                            postlinearization table after calling 
                            the callback.

    Flags are intended as an aid for building non-uniformly spaced 
    CLUTs. Using flags results in "undoing" any linearization tables
    could apply. In such way, the programmer is expected to have in
    In[] always the original colorspace, and must return Out[] values
    always in original (non-postlinearized) space as well.
     

    The callback must return 0 if all is ok, or any other value
    to indicate error. If error condition is raised, whole CLUT
    construction is aborted.

    Parameters:

    Lut: a pointer to LUT structure
    Sampler: The callback function
    Cargo: A 32-bit value. Could be used as pointer to pass 
          parameters to callback. 

    dwFlags: any combination of LUT_HASTL1 or LUT_HASTL2 
             joined by bitwise-or operator '|'




_________________________________________________________________________________

12 - Named color functions
_________________________________________________________________________________


 Named color profiles are a special kind of profiles handling lists of spot 
 colors. The typical example is PANTONE. CMM deals with named color profiles like 
 all other types, except they must be in input stage and the encoding supported 
 is limited to  a one single channel of 16-bit indexes.

 Let's assume we have a Named color profile holding only 4 colors:

    · CYAN     
    · MAGENTA  
    · YELLOW   
    · BLACK

 We create a transform using:


 hTransform = cmmCreateColorTransform(hNamedColorProfile,
                                           TYPE_NAMED_COLOR_INDEX,
                                           hOutputProfile,
                                           TYPE_BGR_8,
                                           INTENT_PERCEPTUAL, 0);

 "TYPE_NAMED_COLOR_INDEX" is a special encoding for these profiles, it 
 represents a single channel holding the spot color index. In our case 
 value 0 will be "CYAN", value 1 "MAGENTA" and so one.

 For converting between string and index there is an auxiliary function:

    int cmsNamedColorIndex(cmsHTRANSFORM hTransform, const char* ColorName);

 That will perform a look up on the spot colors database and return the color 
 number or -1 if the color was not found.  Other additional functions for named 
 color transforms are:


    int cmsNamedColorCount(cmsHTRANSFORM hTransform);

  That returns the number of colors present on transform database.


    int cmsNamedColorInfo(cmsHTRANSFORM hTransform, 
                          int nColor, LPNAMEDCOLORINFO Info);

  That returns extended information about a given color. Named color profiles 
  can also be grouped by using multiprofile transforms. In such case, the database 
  will be formed by the union  of all colors in all named color profiles present in 
  transform.


  Named color profiles does hold two coordinates for each color, let's
  take our PANTONE example. This profile would contain for each color 
  the CMYK colorants plus its PCS coordinates, usually in Lab space.
 
  lcms can work with named color using both coordinates. Creating a
  transform with two profiles, if the input one is a named color, then you 
  obtain the translated color using PCS. 
  
  Example, named color -> sRGB will give the color patches in sRGB
 
  In the other hand, setting second profile to NULL, returns the device 
  coordinates, that is, CMYK colorants in our PANTONE sample. 
  
  Example: Named color -> NULL will give the CMYK amount for each spot color.
 

  The transform must use TYPE_NAMED_COLOR_INDEX on input. That is, a single
  channel containing the 0-based color index. 
  
  Then you have: 
 
        cmsNamedColorIndex(cmsHTRANSFORM xform, const char* Name)
 
  for obtaining index from color name, and 
    
        cmsNamedColorInfo(), cmsNamedColorCount() to retrieve the list.
 
  The profile is supposed to be for a unique device. Then the CMYK 
  values does represent the amount of inks THIS PRINTER needs to render 
  the spot color. The profile also has the Lab values  corresponding to 
  the color. This really would have no sense if gamut of printer were 
  infinite, but since printers does have a limited gamut a PANTONE-certified 
  printer renders colors near gamut boundaries with some limitations. 
  The named color profile is somehow explaining which are these limitation 
  for that printer.
 
  So, you can use a named color profile in two different ways, as output, 
  giving the index and getting the CMYK values or as input and getting the 
  Lab for that color. 
 
  A transform named color -> NULL will give the CMYK values for the spot 
  color on the printer the profile is describing. This would be the normal usage.
 
  A transform Named color -> another printer will give on the output printer 
  the spot colors as if they were printed in the printer named color profile 
  is describing. This is useful for soft proofing.
 
  As an additional feature, lcms can "group" several named color profiles
  into a single database by means of cmsCreateMultiprofileTransform().
  Such case works as described above, but joining all named colors as they 
  were in a single profile.




_________________________________________________________________________________

 13. PostScript generation
_________________________________________________________________________________

 3 functions carry the task of obtaining CRD and CSA. 


    DWORD cmsGetPostScriptCSA(cmsHPROFILE hProfile, int Intent, LPVOID Buffer, DWORD dwBufferLen);
    DWORD cmsGetPostScriptCRD(cmsHPROFILE hProfile, int Intent, LPVOID Buffer, DWORD dwBufferLen);
    DWORD cmsGetPostScriptCRDEx(cmsHPROFILE hProfile, int Intent, DWORD dwFlags, LPVOID Buffer, DWORD dwBufferLen);


 cmsGetPostScriptCRDEx allows black point compensation using 
 cmsFLAGS_BLACKPOINTCOMPENSATION in flags field.

 PostScrip colorflow is often done in a different way. Insted of creating a 
 transform, it is sometimes desirable to delegate the color management to 
 PostScript interpreter. These functions does translate input and output 
 profiles into Color Space Arrays (CSA) and Color Rendering Dictionaries (CRD)

    · CRD are equivalent to output (printer) profiles. Can be 
      loaded into printer at startup and can be stored as resources.

    · CSA are equivalent to input and workspace profiles, and are 
      intended to  be included in the document definition.

 These functions does generate the PostScript equivalents. Since the lenght of 
 the resultant PostScript code is unknown in advance, you can call the 
 functions with len=0 and Buffer=NULL to get the lenght. After that, you need 
 to allocate enough memory to contain the whole block

 Example:

      Size = cmsGetPostScriptCSA(hProfile, INTENT_PERCEPTUAL, NULL, 0);
      If (Size == 0) error()

       Block = malloc(Size); 
       cmsGetPostScriptCSA(hProfile, INTENT_PERCEPTUAL, Block, Size);
   

  Devicelink profiles are supported, as long as input colorspace matches
  Lab/XYZ for CSA or output colorspace matches Lab/XYZ for CRD. This can
  be used in conjuntion with cmsCreateMultiprofileTransform(), 
  and cmsTransform2DeviceLink() to embed complex color flow into PostScript.


  
  WARNING: Preccision of PostScript is limited to 8 bits per sample. If you 
  can choose between normal transforms and CSA/CRD, normal transforms will 
  give more accurancy. However, there are situations where there is no 
  chance.

keywords and data format identifiers and makes provision for the dynamic
definition of additional keywords and data format identifiers as
necessary. 


It was prepared by CGATS/SC3 in an effort to consolidate the common format 
requirements for the exchange of spectral measurement data, colorimetric 
data, and densitometric data in electronic form.

These requirements presently appear in a number of CGATS and IT8 standards 
such as CGAT S.5, IT8.7/1, IT8.7/2, and IT8.7/3. While it is the intent that 
each of these individual standards will continue to identify required data, 
the basic data format and keywords and data identifier s will be defined in 
this standard for consistent use across all applicable standards.

The Committee for Graphic Arts Technologies Standards (CGATS) was accredited 
by the American National Standards Institute in 1989 to serve as the 
coordinator of graphic arts standards activities.

CGATS recommends the adoption and use of this standard by the graphic
arts industry and its suppliers at their earliest convenience.

_________________________________________________________________________________

 Tables
_________________________________________________________________________________


    In the lcms implementation, a CGATS.13/IT8 object may contain any number of
    tables. Tables are separated by END_DATA keyword.


_________________________________________________________________________________

 int              cmsIT8TableCount(LCMSHANDLE hIT8);
_________________________________________________________________________________

  Returns the number of tables the CGATS.13/IT8 object contains.
