LBitmap::EdgeDetectEffect

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LBitmap::EdgeDetectEffect(uLevel, uThreshold, uFlags)

L_UINT uLevel;	/* edge weight */
L_UINT uThreshold;	/* threshold value */
L_UINT uFlags;	/* edges type */

Performs edge detection on the image.

Parameter	Description
uLevel	Level value used to determine the brightness of the edges. Standard value is 50. Range between 1 and 100. Big values will produce bright edges.
uThreshold	Threshold value used to determine which pixels are going to be filtered. If the difference determined for a pixel is less than this value, the pixel is set to 0. If the difference is greater, the filter will be applied to the pixel. The valid range is from 0 - 65535 for 64-bit, 48-bit and 16-bit grayscale images and from 0 - 4095 for 12-bit grayscale images. Otherwise, it is from 0 to 255.
uFlags	Flag that indicates the type of edge to generate. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	EDGE_SOFT	[0] Generate softer (smoother) edges.
	EDGE_SOLID	[1] Generate rougher edges.

Returns

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

Comments

This function detects the edges in a bitmap and then replaces the values of edges by new values calculated according to the uFlags.

Support for 12 and 16-bit grayscale images are available only in the Medical toolkits.

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

This function does not support signed data images. It returns the error code ERROR_SIGNED_DATA_NOT_SUPPORTED if a signed data image is passed to this function.
