L_AntiAliasBitmap

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTIMGEFX_API L_INT L_AntiAliasBitmap(pBitmap, nThreshold, uDim, uFilter, uFlags)

Applies an anti-aliasing filter to the specified bitmap.

Parameters

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap

Pointer to the bitmap handle that references the bitmap on which to apply the filter.

L_INT nThreshold

Threshold value that indicates which pixels to smooth. The application of the anti-aliasing filter on the image associates a value with each pixel. Only pixels with values above this threshold are smoothed.

L_UINT uDim

Value that indicates the size of the anti-aliasing mask. For example, a value of three indicates an anti-aliasing mask of 3 X 3.

L_UINT uFilter

Flag that indicates the type of anti-aliasing filter to use. Possible values are:

Value	Meaning
ANTIALIAS_1	[0x0000] Anti-alias the bitmap vertically and horizontally.
ANTIALIAS_2	[0x0001] Anti-alias the bitmap in all directions.
ANTIALIAS_3	[0x0002] Anti-alias the bitmap in all directions. The filter used for this option is different from the filter used for the ANTIALIAS_2 option.
ANTIALIAS_DIAG	[0x0003] Anti-alias the bitmap diagonally.
ANTIALIAS_HORZ	[0x0004] Anti-alias the bitmap horizontally.
ANTIALIAS_VERT	[0x0005] Anti-alias the bitmap vertically.

L_UINT32 uFlags

Reserved for future use. Must be 0.

Returns

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

Comments

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

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.

The best results for anti-aliasing text can be obtained with the filter ANTIALIAS_2.

The value of the uDim parameter determines the extent of the anti-aliasing.

The threshold range for 16, 48 and 64-bit images is from 0 to 65535 for unsigned images, and from –32768 to +32767 for signed images. For 12-bit images, the threshold range is from 0 to 4095 for unsigned images, and from –2048 to +2047 for signed images. Otherwise, it is from 0 to 255. The threshold is applied to channels separately.

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.
