L_UserFilterBitmap

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTIMGEFX_API L_INT L_UserFilterBitmap (pBitmap, pFilter, uFlags);

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

Parameters

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap

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

pUSERFLT pFilter

Pointer to an USERFLT structure that contains information about the mask to be applied.

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

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.

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.

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.

Example

In this example the high pass filter will be applied using user defined matrix
