L_ResizeBitmap

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_INT EXT_FUNCTION L_ResizeBitmap(pSrcBitmap, pDstBitmap, uFlags)

pBITMAPHANDLE pSrcBitmap;	/* pointer to the source bitmap handle */
pBITMAPHANDLE pDstBitmap;	/* pointer to the destination bitmap handle */
L_UINT uFlags;	/* flags that determine resizing options */

Resizes the image from an existing bitmap, and puts the resized image into a destination bitmap, leaving the original bitmap intact.

Parameter	Description
pSrcBitmap	Pointer to the bitmap handle referencing the source bitmap.
pDstBitmap	Pointer to the bitmap handle referencing the destination bitmap to contain the new resized image.
uFlags	Flags that determine resizing options. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	SIZE_NORMAL	[0x0000] Resize normally.
	SIZE_FAVORBLACK	[0x0001] (Document/Medical only) Preserve black objects when making the image smaller. This option affects only 1-bit, black-and-white images, where it prevents the disappearance of thin lines. You can use a bitwise OR ( \| ) to combine this flag with another one. For example, SIZE_RESAMPLE \| SIZE_FAVORBLACK causes color images to be resampled, but applies the favor-black option to 1-bit, black-and-white images.
	SIZE_RESAMPLE	[0x0002] Use linear interpolation and averaging to produce a higher-quality image.
	SIZE_BICUBIC	[0x0004] Use bicubic interpolation and averaging to produce a higher quality image. This is slower than SIZE_RESAMPLE.

Returns

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

Comments

You are responsible for allocating enough storage for the destination bitmap. If only one copy is desired, use the L_SizeBitmap function instead of this one.

If you are working with an 8-bit or less image, before calling this function, you must ensure that both bitmap handles refer to the same palette. To do so, you can use the L_CopyBitmapPalette function to duplicate the palette as follows:

L_CopyBitmapPalette(&DestinationBitmap, &SourceBitmap.hPalette);

To update a status bar or detect a user interrupt during execution of this function, refer to L_SetStatusCallback.

high-level functions. */
