L_HalfToneBitmap

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTIMGCOR_API L_INT L_HalfToneBitmap(pBitmap, uType, nAngle, uDim, hList, uFlags)

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap;	Pointer to the bitmap handle
L_UINT uType;	Type of halftoning to do
L_INT32 nAngle;	Angle of rotation
L_UINT uDim;	Size of the grain
HBITMAPLIST hList;	Handle to the list of bitmaps
L_UINT32 uFlags;	flags

Converts a 1-, 4-, 8-, 16-, 24-, or 32-bit bitmap to a halftoned bitmap, with a specified pattern rotation. A halftoned bitmap is a 1-bit bitmap that has been dithered for black and white printing or display.

Parameter	Description
pBitmap	Pointer to the bitmap handle referencing the bitmap to be converted.
uType	Value that indicates the type of halftoning to perform. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	HT_PRINT	[0x0000] Halftone for printing
	HT_VIEW	[0x0001] Halftone for display
	HT_RECT	[0x0002] Rectangular halftone
	HT_CIRC	[0x0003] Circular halftone
	HT_ELLIPS	[0x0004] Elliptical halftone
	HT_RAND	[0x0005] Random halftone
	HT_LINEAR	[0x0006] Linear halftone
	HT_USERDEF	[0x0007] User defined halftone
nAngle	The angle of rotation, expressed in hundredths of degrees. A value of 0 produces a horizontal halftone pattern. This parameter specifies the number of degrees to change the pattern. Positive values rotate the pattern clockwise; negative values rotate the pattern counterclockwise. This value is ignored if the selected halftone pattern is HT_RECT, HT_CIRC or HT_RAND or HT_USERDEF.
uDim	Value that indicates the size of the grain. This value is ignored if the selected halftone pattern is HT_VIEW or HT_PRINT. If the pattern is not HT_VIEW or HT_PRINT, uDim should be >= 1. If this parameter is < 1 this function will return ERROR_INV_PARAMETER (-13).
hList	Handle to the list of bitmaps that will be used in half toning if the HT_USERDEF option is selected.
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.

For the HT_USERDEF option, the number of bitmaps in the list must be at least equal to (uDim * uDim + 1). Bitmaps with higher indexes correspond to higher intensity values.

This function can process the whole image or a region of the image.

This function does not support 12 and 16-bit grayscale and 48 and 64-bit color images.

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

This function supports 32-bit grayscale images.
