public class AutoColorLevelCommand : Leadtools.ImageProcessing.RasterCommand, Leadtools.ImageProcessing.IRasterCommand

'Declaration

Public Class AutoColorLevelCommand 
   Inherits Leadtools.ImageProcessing.RasterCommand
   Implements Leadtools.ImageProcessing.IRasterCommand

'Usage

Dim instance As AutoColorLevelCommand

public sealed class AutoColorLevelCommand : Leadtools.ImageProcessing.IRasterCommand

@interface LTAutoColorLevelCommand : LTRasterCommand

public class AutoColorLevelCommand extends RasterCommand

function Leadtools.ImageProcessing.Color.AutoColorLevelCommand()

public ref class AutoColorLevelCommand : public Leadtools.ImageProcessing.RasterCommand, Leadtools.ImageProcessing.IRasterCommand

This command makes the dark values darker and the light values lighter, which automatically enhances shadows and brightens the image. It also maximizes the tonal range of the image. It enhances the contrast and intensity using the image's histogram and a color distribution-based algorithm.
The properties in the AutoColorLevelCommand Class will be updated with the MinimumInput, MaximumInput, MinimumOutput, MaximumOutput and Gamma values used by a method for the appropriate channel(s).
If you set the AutoColorLevelCommandFlags.NoProcess flag in the Flag property, the ColorLevelCommandData will be updated with the color leveling information used by the AutoColorLevelCommand. If you then pass the updated ColorLevelCommandData structures to the ColorLevelCommand, you will obtain the same result that you would have obtained if you had called the AutoColorLevelCommand with the leveling flag by itself.
If the image is a grayscale image, then AutoColorLevelCommandType.Level, AutoColorLevelCommandType.Contrast and AutoColorLevelCommandType.Intensity give identical results. Also the Master, Red, Green and Blue properties will have the same values.
As an example, the following figure shows an image before any automatic color leveling has been performed:

The following figure shows what would happen if you start with the original image and apply the AutoColorLevelCommand using AutoColorLevelCommandType.Level flag.

The following figure shows what would happen if you start with the original image and apply the AutoColorLevelCommand using AutoColorLevelCommandType.Intensity flag.

The following figure shows what would happen if you start with the original image and apply the AutoColorLevelCommand using AutoColorLevelCommandType.Contrast flag.
This command 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.
This command supports unsigned data images, but not signed ones.
This command does not support 32-bit grayscale images.
