LBitmapBase::ClearNegativePixels

Show in webframe

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LBitmapBase::ClearNegativePixels(void)

Sets all of the class object's bitmap pixels with negative color values to 0.

Returns

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

Comments

If ELO_SIGNED flag has been set using LOADFILEOPTION, before a file is loaded, the bitmap may contain negative pixel values and LEADTOOLS will paint/process the image incorrectly. In order to use this bitmap correctly, you must call LBitmapBase::ClearNegativePixels. If the ELO_SIGNED flag has not been set, all negative pixels are cleared internally, during the load process. Since some TIFF files are saved with negative values for pixel colors, you should call LBitmapBase::ClearNegativePixels if, after loading a bitmap, LBitmapBase::IsPixelsSigned returns TRUE.

LBitmapBase::ClearNegativePixels does nothing if LBitmapBase::IsPixelsSigned returns FALSE.

PROGRAMMING TIP: Call LBitmapBase::ClearNegativePixels right after LBitmapBase::Load or LFile::Load.
