LBitmap::WindowLevelBitmap

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LBitmap::WindowLevelBitmap(nLowBit, nHighBit, pLUT, uLUTLength, nOrderDst, uFlags = 0)

L_INT nLowBit;	low bit to use
L_INT nHighBit;	high bit to use
RGBQUAD * pLUT;	lookup table
L_UINT uLUTLength;	number of entries
L_INT nOrderDst;	destination color order
L_UINT32 uFlags;	flags

Converts a 12 or 16-bit grayscale image to an 8-bit grayscale or a 24-bit RGB bitmap.

Parameter	Description
nLowBit	Value indicating the low bit used for leveling. 0 <= nLowBit <= nHighBit <= (11 for 12-bit grayscale or 15 for 16-bit grayscale).
nHighBit	Value indicating the high bit used for leveling. 0 <= nLowBit <= nHighBit <= (11 for 12-bit grayscale or 15 for 16-bit grayscale).
pLUT	Optional lookup table that can be used to implement a user defined conversion. For every intensity value between 0 and 2 raised to the power of (nHighBit - nLowBit + 1)-1 there should be a corresponding entry in the lookup table that contains an RGB quad. If pLUT is NULL, the conversion is a normal shift (right or left) and the painted bitmap is 8-bit grayscale. If pLUT is not NULL, the painted bitmap is a 24-bit bitmap.
uLUTLength	Value indicating the number of entries pointed to by pLUT.
nOrderDst	Value indicating the color order if the output bitmap will be 24-bit. If pLUT is NULL, this parameter is ignored. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	ORDER_RGB	[0] The input colors are in red-green-blue order.
	ORDER_BGR	[1] The input colors are in blue-green-red order.
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 will convert the class object's bitmap to a window leveled bitmap. To implement window leveling without affecting the image, use LBitmap::WindowLevel.

The bitmap data is changed by this function.

This function supports 12 and 16-bit grayscale. Support for 12 and 16-bit grayscale images is available only in the Document/Medical toolkits.

This function supports signed data images.

LEADTOOLS supports two types of LUTs for 10-16-bit grayscale images (8-bit LUT and 16-bit LUT). Typical grayscale image display and processing is done using an 8-bit LUT. But, you can also use a 16-bit LUT, which offers more precision. Some special video cards and monitors also support display of grayscale images using a 16-bit LUT.

For information on saving bitmaps that have been window leveled, refer to Saving Window-Leveled Bitmaps.

Example

This example window levels the bitmap with a custom palette. The image data is changed in this example.
