L_WindowLevel

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTDIS_API L_INT L_WindowLevel (pBitmap, nLowBit, nHighBit, pLUT, ulLUTLength, uFlags)

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap;	/* pointer to the bitmap handle */
L_INT nLowBit;	/* low bit to use */
L_INT nHighBit;	/* high bit to use */
L_RGBQUAD* pLUT;	/* lookup table */
L_UINT ulLUTLength;	/* number of entries */
L_UINT uFlags;	/* flags */

Sets up the paint or paint and image processing functions' window leveling options for a specific bitmap.

Parameter	Description
pBitmap	Pointer to the bitmap handle referencing the bitmap to be leveled.
nLowBit	Value indicating the low bit used for leveling. 0 <= nLowBit <= nHighBit <= (11 for 12-bit grayscale or 15 for 16-bit grayscale).
nHighBit	Value indicating the high bit used for leveling. 0 <= nLowBit <= nHighBit <= (11 for 12-bit grayscale or 15 for 16-bit grayscale).
pLUT	Optional lookup table that can be used to implement a user defined conversion. For every intensity value between 0 and 2 raised to the power of (nHighBit - nLowBit + 1)-1 there should be a corresponding entry in the lookup table that contains an RGB quad. If pLUT is NULL, the conversion is a normal shift (right or left) and the painted bitmap is 8-bit grayscale. If pLUT is not NULL, the painted bitmap is a 24-bit bitmap.
ulLUTLength	Value indicating the number of entries pointed to by pLUT. If pLUT is NULL, then set this to NULL too.
uFlags	Value indicating whether pLUT is used by the paint and image processing functions or only by the paint functions. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	WINDOWLEVEL_PAINT	[0x00] pLUT is used only by the paint functions.
	WINDOWLEVEL_PAINT_AND_PROCESSING	[0x01] pLUT is used for both paint and image processing routines.

Returns

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

Comments

Provides "on demand" window leveling for the paint functions and does not alter the image data. To convert the image data to a window leveled bitmap, use L_WindowLevelBitmap.

If WINDOW_LEVEL_PAINT_PROCESSING is specified, then all image processing functions will take the pLUT into account.

For information on saving bitmaps that have been window leveled, refer to Saving Window-Leveled Bitmaps.
