L_LineProfile

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTIMGCLR_API L_INT L_LineProfile(pBitmap, FirstPoint, SecondPoint, pRed, pGreen, pBlue)

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap;	/* pointer to the bitmap handle */
POINT FirstPoint;	/* starting point of the line */
POINT SecondPoint;	/* end point of the line */
L_INT **pRed;	/* pointer to a pointer */
L_INT **pGreen;	/* pointer to a pointer */
L_INT **pBlue;	/* pointer to a pointer */

Allocates three arrays and updates them with the R, G and B profile for each pixel in the specified line.

Parameter	Description
pBitmap	Pointer to the bitmap handle that references the bitmap for which to get the line profile.
FirstPoint	POINT structure that contains the starting point for the line.
SecondPoint	POINT structure that contains the end point for the line. Information for this point is included in the arrays.
pRed	Pointer to a pointer to be updated with an array that contains the red values for the line specified by FirstPoint and SecondPoint. A memory buffer for this array is allocated by the function. When the array is no longer needed, it should be freed by the user by calling the GlobalFreePtr macro.
pGreen	Pointer to a pointer to be updated with an array that contains the green values for the line specified by FirstPoint and SecondPoint. A memory buffer for this array is allocated by the function. When the array is no longer needed, it should be freed by the user by calling the GlobalFreePtr macro.
pBlue	Pointer to a pointer to be updated with an array that contains the blue values for the line specified by FirstPoint and SecondPoint. A memory buffer for this array is allocated by the function. When the array is no longer needed, it should be freed by the user by calling the GlobalFreePtr macro.

Returns

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

Comments

This function supports signed data images. It returns the error code ERROR_SIGNED_DATA_NOT_SUPPORTED if a signed data image is passed to this function.

The range of the returned values will be from 0 - 65535 for 64-bit, 48-bit and 16-bit grayscale images; from -32768 to 32767 for signed images; and from 0 - 4095 for 12-bit grayscale images. Otherwise, it is from 0 to 255.

This function allocates memory buffers for the three arrays using the GlobalAllocPtr macro. When the buffers are no longer needed, they should be freed by calling the GlobalFreePtr macro. If the GlobalFreePtr macro is not supported by the compiler, the buffers can be freed using the following code:

void MyGlobalFreePtr(void *ptr)
{
HGLOBAL hGlobal = (HGLOBAL) GlobalHandle(ptr);
GlobalUnlock(hGlobal);
GlobalFree(hGlobal);
}

This function supports 12 and 16-bit grayscale and 48 and 64-bit color images. Supportfor 12 and 16-bit grayscale and 48 and 64-bit color images 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.

Example

This example assumes there is a bitmap loaded into Bitmap, which is of type BITMAPHANDLE.

 L_INT LineProfileExample(L_VOID)
{
   L_INT nRet;
   L_INT  * nactRed;
   L_INT  * nactGreen;
   L_INT  * nactBlue;
   POINT   StartPoint, EndPoint;
   BITMAPHANDLE Bitmap;

   nactRed=NULL;
   nactGreen=NULL;
   nactBlue=NULL;
  
   
   /* 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"), &Bitmap, sizeof(BITMAPHANDLE), 0, ORDER_BGR, NULL, NULL);
   if(nRet !=SUCCESS)
      return nRet;
   
   StartPoint.x=0;
   StartPoint.y=0;
   EndPoint.x = Bitmap.Width - 1;
   EndPoint.y=0; 
   nRet = L_LineProfile(&Bitmap,StartPoint,EndPoint,&nactRed,&nactGreen,&nactBlue);
   if(nRet !=SUCCESS)
      return nRet;

   // … use the colors in the arrays here

   // free the three buffers
   GlobalFreePtr(nactRed);
   GlobalFreePtr(nactGreen);
   GlobalFreePtr(nactBlue);
   nRet = L_SaveBitmap(TEXT("C:\\Program Files\\LEAD Technologies\\LEADTOOLS 15\\Images\\Result.BMP"), &Bitmap, FILE_BMP, 24, 0, NULL);
   if(nRet !=SUCCESS)
      return nRet;
   //free bitmap 
   if(Bitmap.Flags.Allocated)  
      L_FreeBitmap(&Bitmap);  
   return SUCCESS;
