LBitmap::Polar

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LBitmap::Polar(crFill, uFlags)

COLORREF crFill;	/* fill color */
L_UINT uFlags;	/* flags */

Converts the bitmap from rectangular to polar coordinates and vice versa. This function is available in the Raster Pro and above toolkits.

Parameter	Description
crFill	The COLORREF value that specifies the fill color for any exposed areas. You can specify a COLORREF value, such as the return value of the Windows RGB macro, or you can use the PALETTEINDEX macro to specify a palette color.
uFlags	Flags that indicate how to handle exposed areas and the type of conversion. You can use a bitwise OR (\|) to specify one flag from each group.
	The following are the flags that indicate how to handle exposed areas:
	Value	Meaning
	FILL_CLR	[0x0000] Fill any exposed areas with crFill.
	FILL_RPT	[0x0001] Stretch the image edges to fill the exposed area.
	FILL_NOCHG	[0x0002] Leave the exposed area as is, without changing it.
	The following are the flags that indicate the conversion type:
	Value	Meaning
	CART_TO_POL	[0x0000] Convert the image from Cartesian (rectangular) coordinates to polar coordinates.
	POL_TO_CART	[0x0010] Convert the image from polar coordinates to Cartesian (rectangular) coordinates.

Returns

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

Comments

This function converts a bitmap from Cartesian (rectangular) coordinates to polar coordinates or vice versa. Rectangular coordinates use the form (x, y) where x and y are the horizontal and vertical distances from the origin, respectively. Polar coordinates are in the form (r, ) where r is the distance from the origin to the point and Ȓ is the angle of the line the point makes with the positive x-axis. Polar coordinates use a grid made of concentric circles around the origin, along with lines that are rays radiating outward from the origin.

If CART_TO_POL is set, this function considers the positions of the images pixels as values in a Polar coordinate system. Then it converts all the pixels in a line of the source image into a circle around the center of the bitmap.

If POL_TO_CART is set, this function takes the pixels from concentric circles and considers their positions as values in a Cartesian coordinate system. Then it converts all the pixels in a circle into horizontal lines.

If there is any region selected on the bitmap, the effect will be applied on the region dimensions only.

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.

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 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.
