LBitmap::UserFilter

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LBitmap::UserFilter(pFilter, uFlags = 0)

pUSERFLT pFilter;	pointer to a structure
L_UINT32 uFlags;	flags

Filters the bitmap based on a user-defined filter / mask. This function is similar to the spatial and binary filter functions.

Parameter	Description
pFilter	Pointer to an LPUSERFLT structure that contains information about the mask to be applied.
uFlags	Reserved for future use. Must be 0.

Returns

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

Comments

With this function you can create a user-defined filter and apply it to the image. The selected filter is passed as a parameter to this function. The filter has a rectangular form (matrix) where the values are user-defined. It allows the creation of simple customized filters, where each value found in matrix is multiplied by the corresponding pixel, and then the specified operation is performed on the results.

Support for 12 and 16-bit grayscale and 48 and 64-bit color images is available only in the Document/Medical toolkits.

When the filter is applied to pixels from the edge and you choose the sum operation, the edge rows and columns are duplicated. For example, if the pixel (-1, 5) is needed, the pixel (0, 5) is used instead.

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.
