L_VignetteBitmap

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTIMGSFX_API L_INT L_VignetteBitmap(pBitmap, pVignetteInfo)

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap;	/* pointer to the bitmap handle */
pVIGNETTEINFO pVignetteInfo;	/* pointer to a structure */

Draws a specified shape and feathers it to the bitmap.

Parameter	Description
pBitmap	Pointer to the bitmap handle that references the bitmap to which to apply the effect.
pVignetteInfo	Pointer to the VIGNETTEINFO structure that contains information about the vignette effect.

Returns

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

Comments

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.

This function can be used to draw a circle, ellipse, rectangle or square to create a vignette shape and then a color is feathered to the bitmap, filling either the inside or the outside of the vignette shape.

This function can process the whole image or a region of the image. If a bitmap has a region, the effect is applied only to the region.

This function supports 12 and 16-bit grayscale and 48 and 64-bit color images. Support for 12 and 16-bit grayscale and 48 and 64-bit color images is available only in the Document/Medical toolkits.

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

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.
