L_MrcStartBitmapSegmentation

#include "ltsgm.h"

L_LTSGM_API L_INT L_MrcStartBitmapSegmentation(phSegment, pBitmap, clrBackground, clrForeground)

pHSEGMENTATION phSegment;	/* pointer to a segmentation handle */
pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap;	/* pointer to a bitmap handle */
COLORREF clrBackground;	/* default base background color */
COLORREF clrForeground;	/* default base foreground color */

Initializes the fields in the segmentation handle. This function is available in the (Document/Medical) toolkits.

Parameter	Description
phSegment	Pointer to be updated with the initialized segmentation handle.
pBitmap	Pointer to the bitmap handle that references the bitmap to be segmented.
clrBackground	Default base background color for the MRC bitmap.
clrForeground	Default base foreground color for the MRC bitmap.

Returns

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

Comments

This function must be called before using any bitmap segmentation functions.

When the handle to the segmentation is no longer needed, it should be freed by calling L_MrcStopBitmapSegmentation. For every call to L_MrcStartBitmapSegmentation there must be a call to L_MrcStopBitmapSegmentation.
