LBitmap::GetMinMaxBits

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LBitmap::GetMinMaxBits(pnLowBit, pnHighBit)

L_INT * pnLowBit;	/* address of a variable to be updated */
L_INT * pnHighBit;	/* address of a variable to be updated */

Returns the low and high bits of the values present in a 12 or 16-bit grayscale and 48 and 64-bit image. This function is available in Document/Medical toolkits only.

Parameter	Description
pnLowBit	Address of a variable to be updated with the lowest bit set in the bitmap.
pnHighBit	Address of a variable to be updated with the highest bit set in the bitmap.

Returns

SUCCESS	The function was successful.
< 1	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

The minimum and maximum bit values can be used to specify the range of useful bits and to create a lookup table, for use in LBitmap::WindowLevel or LBitmap::WindowLevelBitmap.

This function supports 12 and 16-bit grayscale images. Support for 12 and 16-bit grayscale images is available only in the Document/Medical toolkits.

This function supports signed data images.

This function does not support 32-bit grayscale images. It returns the error code ERROR_GRAY32_UNSUPPORTED if a 32-bit grayscale image is passed to this function.
