# vImageGamma_Planar8toPlanarF(_:_:_:_:)

Applies a gamma function to an 8-bit planar image to produce a 32-bit planar image.

## Declaration

```swift
func vImageGamma_Planar8toPlanarF(_ src: UnsafePointer<vImage_Buffer>, _ dest: UnsafePointer<vImage_Buffer>, _ gamma: GammaFunction!, _ flags: vImage_Flags) -> vImage_Error
```

## Parameters

- `src`: The source vImage buffer.
- `dest`: A pointer to the destination vImage buffer structure. You’re responsible for filling out the height, width, and rowBytes fields of this structure, and for allocating a data buffer of the appropriate size. On return, the data buffer this structure points to contains the destination image data. When you no longer need the data buffer, deallocate the memory to prevent memory leaks.
- `gamma`: The gamma function object.
- `flags`: The options to use when performing the operation. If your code implements its own tiling or its own multithreading, pass doc://com.apple.accelerate/documentation/Accelerate/kvImageDoNotTile; otherwise, pass doc://com.apple.accelerate/documentation/Accelerate/kvImageNoFlags.

## Return Value

Return Value kvImageNoError; otherwise, one of the error codes in Data Types and Constants.

## Discussion

Discussion This function maps 8-bit values in the range 0...255 to the floating-point range 0.0...1.0. let source = vImage.PixelBuffer<vImage.Planar8>(     pixelValues: [  1,                     3,                     5,                    15,                    17,                    51 ],     size: vImage.Size(width: 1, height: 6))

let destination = vImage.PixelBuffer<vImage.PlanarF>(     size: source.size)

let gamma = vImageCreateGammaFunction(     1.0,     Int32(kvImageGamma_UseGammaValue),     vImage_Flags(kvImageNoFlags))

defer {     vImageDestroyGammaFunction(gamma) }

source.withUnsafePointerToVImageBuffer { src in     destination.withUnsafePointerToVImageBuffer { dest in                  _ = vImageGamma_Planar8toPlanarF(             src,             dest,             gamma,             vImage_Flags(kvImageNoFlags))              } }

// Prints "[1.0, 3.0, 5.0, 15.0, 17.0, 51.0]". print(destination.array.map { $0 * 255 })
