LBitmap::ContBrightInt

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LBitmap::ContBrightInt (nContrast, nBrightness, nIntensity, uFlags = 0)

L_INT nContrast;

/* amount of contrast change */

L_INT nBrightness;

/* amount of brightness change */

L_INT nIntensity;

/* amount of intensity change */

L_UINT32 uFlags;

/* flags */

Applies contrast, brightness and intensity adjustments to enhance the image tonal range.

Parameter

Description

nContrast

Value that represents the amount of histogram stretching.  The contrast ranges from -1000 to +1000. This value is divided internally by 1000. A positive value increases the contrast whereas a negative value decreases the contrast.

nBrightness

Value that represents the colors intensities scale factor.  The brightness ranges from -1000 to 1000. This value is divided internally by 1000. A positive value increases (or lightens) the brightness of the bitmap image. A negative value decreases (or darkens) the brightness of the bitmap image.

nIntensity

Value that represents the amount of colors intensities shifting.  The intensity ranges from -1000 to +1000. This value is divided internally by 1000. A positive value lightens the brightness pixels whereas a negative value darkens the brightness pixels.

uFlags

Reserved for future use. Must be 0.

Returns

SUCCESS

The function was successful.

< 1

An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

To update a status bar or detect a user interrupt during execution of this function, refer to LBase::EnableStatusCallback.

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. It also can process the whole image or a region of the image. If a bitmap has a region, the effect is applied only to the region.

The transformations are applied in this order: Contrast, Brightness then Intensity. Were the three functions to be called separately, then after each function was applied calculated values less than 0 and more than 255 (for 8 bits per component for example) would be clamped to 0 and 255 respectively. Using this function, the values are accumulative and the final result would be clamped. In addition, this function is faster than calling each function separately.

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.
