L_LineProfile

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTIMGCLR_API L_INT L_LineProfile(pBitmap, FirstPoint, SecondPoint, pRed, pGreen, pBlue, uFlags)

Allocates three arrays and updates them with the R, G and B profile for each pixel in the specified line.

Parameters

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap

Pointer to the bitmap handle that references the bitmap for which to get the line profile.

L_POINT FirstPoint

POINT structure that contains the starting point for the line.

L_POINT SecondPoint

POINT structure that contains the end point for the line. Information for this point is included in the arrays.

L_INT ** pRed

Pointer to a pointer to be updated with an array that contains the red values for the line specified by FirstPoint and SecondPoint. A memory buffer for this array is allocated by the function. When the array is no longer needed, it should be freed by the user by calling the GlobalFreePtr macro.

L_INT ** pGreen

Pointer to a pointer to be updated with an array that contains the green values for the line specified by FirstPoint and SecondPoint. A memory buffer for this array is allocated by the function. When the array is no longer needed, it should be freed by the user by calling the GlobalFreePtr macro.

L_INT ** pBlue

Pointer to a pointer to be updated with an array that contains the blue values for the line specified by FirstPoint and SecondPoint. A memory buffer for this array is allocated by the function. When the array is no longer needed, it should be freed by the user by calling the GlobalFreePtr macro.

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 supports signed data images. It returns the error code ERROR_SIGNED_DATA_NOT_SUPPORTED if a signed data image is passed to this function.

The range of the returned values will be:

0 to 65535 for 64-bit, 48-bit and 16-bit grayscale images.
-32768 to 32767 for signed images.
0 to 4095 for 12-bit grayscale images.
0 to 255, otherwise.

This function allocates memory buffers for the three arrays using the GlobalAllocPtr macro. When the buffers are no longer needed, they should be freed by calling the GlobalFreePtr macro. If the GlobalFreePtr macro is not supported by the compiler, the buffers can be freed using the following code:

void MyGlobalFreePtr(void *ptr) 
{ 
   HGLOBAL hGlobal = (HGLOBAL) GlobalHandle(ptr); 
   GlobalUnlock(hGlobal); 
   GlobalFree(hGlobal); 
}

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.

Example

This example assumes there is a bitmap loaded into Bitmap, which is of type BITMAPHANDLE.

L_INT LineProfileExample(L_VOID) 
{ 
   L_INT nRet; 
   L_INT  * nactRed; 
   L_INT  * nactGreen; 
   L_INT  * nactBlue; 
   POINT   StartPoint, EndPoint; 
   BITMAPHANDLE Bitmap; 
 
   nactRed=NULL; 
   nactGreen=NULL; 
   nactBlue=NULL; 
   
    
   /* Load the bitmap, keeping the bits per pixel of the file */ 
   nRet = L_LoadBitmap(MAKE_IMAGE_PATH(TEXT("cannon.jpg")), &Bitmap, sizeof(BITMAPHANDLE), 0, ORDER_BGR, NULL, NULL); 
   if(nRet !=SUCCESS) 
      return nRet; 
    
   StartPoint.x=0; 
   StartPoint.y=0; 
   EndPoint.x = Bitmap.Width - 1; 
   EndPoint.y=0;  
   nRet = L_LineProfile(&Bitmap,StartPoint,EndPoint,&nactRed,&nactGreen,&nactBlue, 0); 
   if(nRet !=SUCCESS) 
      return nRet; 
 
   // … use the colors in the arrays here 
 
   // free the three buffers 
   GlobalFreePtr(nactRed); 
   GlobalFreePtr(nactGreen); 
   GlobalFreePtr(nactBlue); 
   nRet = L_SaveBitmap(MAKE_IMAGE_PATH(TEXT("Result.BMP")), &Bitmap, FILE_BMP, 24, 0, NULL); 
   if(nRet !=SUCCESS) 
      return nRet; 
   //free bitmap  
   if(Bitmap.Flags.Allocated)   
      L_FreeBitmap(&Bitmap);   
   return SUCCESS;
