VCM
Services
In general,
an application uses VCM to perform the following tasks:
Locate, open,
or install a compressor or decompressor.
Configure or
obtain configuration information about the compressor or decompressor.
Use a series
of functions to compress, decompress, or draw the data.
The
functions and macros of the DrawDib library perform these tasks implicitly and
might provide the most convenient way to use VCM. For more information about
the DrawDib library, see DrawDib.
