#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTDIS_API L_INT L_GetBitmapRgnArea(pBitmap, puArea)

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap;	/* pointer to the bitmap */
L_SIZE_T* puArea;	/* address of the variable to be updated */

Gets the total number of pixels in the bitmap region.

Parameter	Description
pBitmap	Pointer to the bitmap handle referencing the bitmap that has the region.
puArea	Address of the variable to be updated with the pixel count.

Returns

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

Comments

Before calling this function, you must declare an L_UINT32 variable for the pixel count. You can then pass the address of the variable in the puArea parameter, and the function will update the variable.
