L_AntiAliasBitmap

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTIMGEFX_API L_INT L_AntiAliasBitmap(pBitmap, nThreshold, uDim, uFilter)

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap;	/* pointer to the bitmap handle */
L_INT nThreshold;	/* threshold value */
L_UINT uDim;	/* mask size */
L_UINT uFilter;	/* anti-aliasing filter */

Applies an anti-aliasing filter to the specified bitmap.

Parameter	Description
pBitmap	Pointer to the bitmap handle that references the bitmap on which to apply the filter.
nThreshold	Threshold value that indicates which pixels to smooth. The application of the anti-aliasing filter on the image associates a value with each pixel. Only pixels with values above this threshold are smoothed.
uDim	Value that indicates the size of the anti-aliasing mask. For example, a value of three indicates an anti-aliasing mask of 3 X 3.
uFilter	Flag that indicates the type of anti-aliasing filter to use. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	ANTIALIAS_1	[0x0000] Anti-alias the bitmap vertically and horizontally.
	ANTIALIAS_2	[0x0001] Anti-alias the bitmap in all directions.
	ANTIALIAS_3	[0x0002] Anti-alias the bitmap in all directions. The filter used for this option is different from the filter used for the ANTIALIAS_2 option.
	ANTIALIAS_DIAG	[0x0003] Anti-alias the bitmap diagonally.
	ANTIALIAS_HORZ	[0x0004] Anti-alias the bitmap horizontally.
	ANTIALIAS_VERT	[0x0005] Anti-alias the bitmap vertically.

Returns

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

Comments

This function can process the whole image or a region of the image.

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.

The best results for anti-aliasing text can be obtained with the filter ANTIALIAS_2.

The value of the uDim parameter determines the extent of the anti-aliasing.

The threshold range for 16, 48 and 64-bit images is from 0 to 65535 for unsigned images, and from –32768 to +32767 for signed images. For 12-bit images, the threshold range is from 0 to 4095 for unsigned images, and from –2048 to +2047 for signed images. Otherwise, it is from 0 to 255. The threshold is applied to channels separately.

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.
