L_LTKRN_API L_INT L_ScrambleBitmap(pBitmap, nColStart, nRowStart, nWidth, nHeight, uKey, uFlags)

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap;	/* pointer to a bitmap handle for the bitmap to be scrambled */
L_INT nColStart;	/* starting column in pixels (0-based) */
L_INT nRowStart;	/* starting row in pixels (0-based) */
L_INT nWidth;	/* width of area to scramble in pixels */
L_INT nHeight;	/* height of area to scramble in pixels */
L_UINT uKey;	/* key that determines the scramble */
L_UINT uFlags;	/* flag that determines whether to encrypt or decrypt the area. */

Scrambles all or a portion of a bitmap.

Parameter	Description
pBitmap	Pointer to a bitmap handle for the bitmap to be scrambled.
nColStart	Starting column in pixels (0-based).
nRowStart	Starting row in pixels (0-based).
nWidth	Width of area to scramble in pixels.
nHeight	Height of area to scramble in pixels.
uKey	Key that determines the scramble. This is an unsigned integer with a minimum value of 0 and a maximum value of 4294967295 (0xffffffff).
uFlags	Flag that determines whether to encrypt or decrypt the area. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	SB_ENCRYPT	Encrypts the area (the reverse of a decrypt).
	SB_DECRYPT	Decrypts the area (the reverse of an encrypt).
	SB_INTERSECT	Intersect the specified rectangle with the bitmaps rectangle.

Returns

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

Comments

Scrambling a rectangular area means that the pixels in that area are shuffled around into a pseudo-random location within the area.

Some properties of shuffling:

No colors are introduced,

Color counts remain unchanged

Given the same encrypt area (defined by nColStart, nRowStart, nWidth, nHeight) and the same key, setting (uFlags = SB_ENCRYPT) is the inverse of (uFlags = SB_DECRYPT)

Example

This example scrambles the upper left quadrant of a bitmap using the key 123

 L_INT ScrambleBitmapExample(pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap)
{
   L_INT nRet;

   if (!pBitmap)
      return ERROR_NO_BITMAP;

   nRet = L_ScrambleBitmap(pBitmap, 0, 0, BITMAPWIDTH(pBitmap)/2, BITMAPHEIGHT(pBitmap)/2, 123, SB_ENCRYPT);
   if(nRet != SUCCESS)
      return nRet;
   return SUCCESS;
