L_GetMinMaxBits

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTIMGCOR_API L_INT L_GetMinMaxBits(pBitmap, pLowBit, pHighBit)

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap;	/* pointer to the bitmap handle */
L_INT *pLowBit;	/* address of a low bit variable to be updated */
L_INT *pHighBit;	/* address of a high bit variable to be updated */

Returns the low and high bits of the 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.
pLowBit	Address of a variable that will be updated with the lowest bit set in the bitmap.
pHighBit	Address of a variable that will be updated with the highest bit set in the bitmap.

Returns

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

Comments

The minimum and maximum bit values can be used to specify the range of useful bits and to create a lookup table, for use in L_WindowLevel or L_WindowLevelBitmap.

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 does not support 32-bit grayscale images. It returns the error code ERROR_GRAY32_UNSUPPORTED if a 32-bit grayscale image is passed to this function.
