Converts a 12 or 16-bit grayscale image to an 8-bit grayscale or a 24-bit RGB bitmap. This function is available in Document/Medical toolkits only.

Parameter

Description

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.

uLUTLength

Value indicating the number of entries pointed to by pLUT.

nOrderDst

Value indicating the color order if the output bitmap will be 24-bit. If pLUT is NULL, this parameter is ignored. Possible values are:

 

Value

Meaning

 

ORDER_RGB

[0] The input colors are in red-green-blue order.

 

ORDER_BGR

[1] The input colors are in blue-green-red order.

Returns

SUCCESS

The function was successful.

< 1

An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

This function will convert the class object's bitmap to a window leveled bitmap. To implement window leveling without affecting the image, use LBitmap::WindowLevel.

The bitmap data is changed by this function.

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

This function supports signed data images.

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

Example

This example window levels the bitmap with a custom palette. The image data is changed in this example.
