L_LTIMGEFX_API L_INT L_BinaryFilterBitmap(pBitmap, pFilter)

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap;

/* pointer to the bitmap handle */

pBINARYFLT pFilter;

/* pointer to the binary filter to use */

Imposes a binary filter on a bitmap. This function is available in the Document/Medical Toolkits.

Parameter

Description

pBitmap

Pointer to the bitmap handle that references the bitmap to be affected.

pFilter

Pointer to the binary filter to use. You can use one of the following predefined filters:

Example

For complete sample code, refer to the CHILD.C module of the DEMO example. This example loads a bitmap and dilates its black objects. 

 L_INT BinaryFilterBitmapExample(L_VOID)
{
   L_INT nRet;
   BITMAPHANDLE LeadBitmap;   /* Bitmap handle to hold the loaded image. */
   /* Load the bitmap, keeping the bits per pixel of the file */
   nRet = L_LoadBitmap (TEXT("C:\\Program Files\\LEAD Technologies\\LEADTOOLS 15\\Images\\IMAGE1.CMP"), &LeadBitmap, sizeof(BITMAPHANDLE), 0, ORDER_BGR, NULL, NULL);
   if(nRet !=SUCCESS)
      return nRet;
   /* Dilate black objects */
   nRet = L_BinaryFilterBitmap(&LeadBitmap, BFLT_DILATION_OMNI );
   if(nRet !=SUCCESS)
      return nRet;
   nRet = L_SaveBitmap(TEXT("C:\\Program Files\\LEAD Technologies\\LEADTOOLS 15\\Images\\Result.BMP"), &LeadBitmap, FILE_BMP, 24, 0, NULL);
   if(nRet !=SUCCESS)
      return nRet;
   //free bitmap 
   if(LeadBitmap.Flags.Allocated)  
      L_FreeBitmap(&LeadBitmap);   
   return SUCCESS;
