LBitmap::Light

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LBitmap::Light (pLightInfo, uLightNo, uBright, uAmbient, crAmbientClr, uFlags = 0)

pLIGHTINFO pLightInfo;	/* array of light sources information */
L_UINT uLightNo;	/* number of light sources */
L_UINT uBright;	/* image intensity */
L_UINT uAmbient;	/* ambient intensity */
COLORREF crAmbientClr;	/* ambient color */
L_UINT32 uFlags;	/* flags */

Adds many spots of directed light sources to the bitmap.

Parameter	Description
pLightInfo	Pointer to an array of LIGHTINFO structures that contains information on each light source.
uLightNo	The number of light sources.
uBright	Value that represents the brightness of the ambient light of the entire image. This can be any number that is 0 or greater. If it is 0 the image will be black. This value is divided internally by 100.
uAmbient	Factor used when mixing the ambient color with the image.
crAmbientClr	The COLORREF value that specifies the ambient color of the light sources in the pLightInfo array.
uFlags	Reserved for future use. Must be 0.

Returns

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

Comments

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.

To obtain this effect, the following settings were used with the function:

pLightInfo:
{
   ptCenter = (pBitmap->Width/2, pBitmap->Height/2);
   uWidth = pBitmap->Width;
   uHeight = pBitmap->Width * 4/3;
   nAngle = 13500;
   uBright = 100;
   uEdge = 75;
   crFill = RGB(0,0,255);
   uOpacity = 100;
   uFlag = LGT_SPOTLIGHT;
}

uLightNo = 1;

uBright = 100;

uAmbient = 100;

crAmbientClr = RGB(255,255,0);

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.
