LBitmap::ObjectCounter

#include "ltwrappr.h"

L_INT LBitmap::ObjectCounter(uCount, uFlags = 0)

L_UINT * uCount;	/* objects count */
L_UINT32 uFlags;	/* flags */

Gets the number of black objects in a binary image.

Parameter	Description
uCount	Pointer to a variable to be updated with the number of black objects.
uFlags	Reserved for future use. Must be 0.

Returns

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

Comments

If white objects are on a black image, the colors in the class object's bitmap must be inverted by calling LBitmap::Invert function.

This function only works on 1-bit images.

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.
