L_LTIMGEFX_API L_INT L_FeatherAlphaBlendBitmap(pBitmapDst, nXDst, nYDst, nWidth, nHeight, pBitmapSrc, nXSrc, nYSrc, pBitmapMask, nXMaskShift, nYMaskShift, uFlags)
Combines image data from two bitmaps with feathering. The two bitmaps can be combined with a variable opacity applied by specifying the region of a fade mask.
Pointer to the bitmap handle that references the destination bitmap. The function will update this bitmap.
The X coordinate of the origin of the destination rectangle.
The Y coordinate of the origin of the destination rectangle.
Width of the area to be combined, in pixels. This width applies to both the source and the destination areas.
Height of the area to be combined, in pixels. This height applies to both the source and the destination areas.
Pointer to the bitmap handle that references the source bitmap.
The X coordinate of the origin of the source rectangle.
The Y coordinate of the origin of the source rectangle.
Pointer to the bitmap handle that references the fade mask.
The X coordinate of the origin of the mask rectangle.
The Y coordinate of the origin of the mask rectangle.
Reserved for future use. Must be 0.
Value | Meaning |
---|---|
SUCCESS | The function was successful. |
< 1 | An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes. |
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.
To combine two bitmaps with a fixed opacity, use the L_AlphaBlendBitmap function.
The L_FeatherAlphaBlendBitmap function achieves feathering between two bitmaps by using variable opacity values, obtained from the fade mask referenced by pBitmapMask
. The origin coordinates of the region of the fade mask bitmap are specified by the values of nXMaskShift
and nYMaskShift
parameters.
To create a bitmap that contains a fade mask, use L_CreateFadedMask function.
To update a status bar or detect a user interrupt during execution of this function, refer to L_SetStatusCallback.
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.
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.
Required DLLs and Libraries
Win32, x64, Linux.
