L_GetMinMaxVal

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_INT EXT_FUNCTION L_GetMinMaxVal(pBitmap, pMinVal, pMaxVal)

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap;

/* pointer to the bitmap handle */

L_INT L_FAR *pMinVal;

/* address of the minimum value variable to be updated */

L_INT L_FAR *pMaxVal;

/* address of the maximum value variable to be updated */

Returns the minimum and maximum intensity values present in a 12 or 16-bit grayscale and 48 and 64-bit image. This function is available in the Document/Medical Toolkits only.

Parameter

Description

pBitmap

Pointer to the bitmap handle of a 12-bit or 16-bit grayscale and 48 and 64-bit bitmap.

pMinVal

Address of a variable that will be updated with the minimum intensity value present in the bitmap.

pMaxVal

Address of a variable that will be updated with the maximum intensity value present in the bitmap.

Returns

SUCCESS

The function was successful.

< 1

An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

The minimum and maximum values can be used to create a lookup table, for use in L_WindowLevel or L_WindowLevelBitmap.

For signed bitmaps, the minimum intensity and the maximum intensity values can be negative.

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

This function supports signed data images.

Example

This example gets the minimum and maximum pixel values for an image.

L_INT L_FAR nLow; /* the minimum value */
L_INT L_FAR nHigh; /* the maximum value*/
/* get min/max values */
L_GetMinMaxVal
(&LeadBitmap, &nLow, &nHigh);
