L_LTIMGCLR_API L_INT L_GrayScaleBitmapExt(pBitmap, RedFact, GreenFact, BlueFact, uFlags)

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap;	/* pointer to the bitmap handle */
L_INT RedFact;	/* the red factor */
L_INT GreenFact;	/* the green factor */
L_INT BlueFact;	/* the blue factor */
L_UINT32 uFlags;	/* flags */

Converts any Bitmap to a gray scale bitmap without changing its resolution.

Parameter	Description
pBitmap	Pointer to the bitmap handle that references the bitmap to convert.
RedFact	Value that represents the percentage or weight given to the red value of each pixel in the bitmap. Possible values are 0 to 1000.
GreenFact	Value that represents the percentage or weight given to the green value of each pixel in the bitmap. Possible values are 0 to 1000.
BlueFact	Value that represents the percentage or weight given to the blue value of each pixel in the bitmap. Possible values are 0 to 1000.
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 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.

RedFact + GreenFact + BlueFact must equal 1000. (Internally the values are divided by 1000).

For each pixel in the bitmap the red, green and blue values are modified by the RedFact, GreenFact and BlueFact parameters, respectively. This allows the user to give more weight to one color, essentially enhancing that color, before the pixel is converted to grayscale.

For example, if this function is called with the RedFact set to 500, the GreenFact set to 250 and the BlueFact set to 250, the red value of each pixel will get 50% of the weight when determining the grayscale value. The green value will get 25% of the weight and the blue value will get 25% of the weight when determining the grayscale value. This highlights or enhances the red in the bitmap, prior to conversion to grayscale.

This function supports 48 and 64-bit color images.

This function does not support grayscale images. It returns the error code ERROR_GRAY32_UNSUPPORTED if a grayscale image is passed to this function.

This example assumes there is a bitmap loaded into Bitmap, which is of type BITMAPHANDLE.
