# lqr\_carver\_get\_ref\_width(3)

get the reference width of a LqrCarver object

## NAME

lqr\_carver\_get\_ref\_width - get the reference width of a LqrCarver object

## SYNOPSIS

```
#include <lqr.h>
```

**gint lqr\_carver\_get\_ref\_width(LqrCarver\*** *carver***);**

## DESCRIPTION

The function **lqr\_carver\_get\_ref\_width** returns the internal reference width of the image contained in the LqrCarver object pointed to by *carver*, in pixel units.

The reference width is set as the original height at carver initialization, and reset any time the carver gets subsequently flattened, either explicitly through [**lqr\_carver\_flatten**(3)](/lqr_carver_flatten/3.md) or implicitly when the rescale direction changes or an enlargment beyond the maximum enlargement step is performed.
