L_LTIMGCLR_API L_INT L_GammaCorrectBitmap(pBitmap, uGamma, uFlags)

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap;	/* pointer to the bitmap handle */
L_UINT uGamma;	/* unsigned integer that represents the gamma value */
L_UINT32 uFlags;	/* flags */

Adjusts the intensity of colors in a bitmap by changing the gamma constant that is used to map the intensity values.

Parameter	Description
pBitmap	Pointer to the bitmap handle referencing the bitmap to change.
uGamma	Unsigned integer that represents the gamma value. It can be any number greater than 0.
	Because this is an unsigned integer, it is 100 times the actual gamma value. For example, use 235 to set a gamma value of 2.35.
uFlags	Reserved for future use. Must be 0.

Returns

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

Comments

Intensity values ideally follow a logarithmic progression, because the eye perceives changes in intensity as being equal when the ratio of change is equal. For example, we would see a change from 0.1 to 0.2 as being equal to a change from 0.2 to 0.4.

Gamma is a standard constant that is used to calculate the progression. For most CRTs the gamma constant is in the range of 2.2 to 2.5.

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

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 in the Document and Medical Imaging toolkits.

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.

This Function adjusts the gamma constant of the image data. If the image has a LUT, the function will work on the LUT, not the image data.

If the image has a LUT and you want to work on the image data, set the UseLUT Flag in the BITMAPHANDLE structure to FALSE. Then, after calling the function, reset the UseLUT flag to TRUE as follows:

pBitmap->Flags.UseLUT = FALSE;

L_GammaCorrectBitmap(pBitmap, 90, 0);

pBitmap->Flags.UseLUT = TRUE;
