Description: Reference for Vips.Image.openexrload

### Constructor

# Vips Imageopenexrload

#### Declaration [src]

    int
    vips_openexrload (
      const char* filename,
      VipsImage** out,
      ...
    )

#### Description [src]

Read a OpenEXR file into a VIPS image.

The reader can handle scanline and tiled OpenEXR images. It can’t handle OpenEXR colour management, image attributes, many pixel formats, anything other than RGBA.

This reader uses the rather limited OpenEXR C API. It should really be redone in C++.
