L_WindowLevelBitmapExt

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTIMGCOR_API L_INT L_WindowLevelBitmapExt (pBitmap, nLowBit, nHighBit, pLUT, uLUTLength, nOrderDst, uFlags)

Converts a 12 or 16-bit grayscale image to an 16-bit grayscale or a 48-bit RGB bitmap.

Parameters

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap

Pointer to the bitmap handle referencing the bitmap to be leveled.

L_INT nLowBit

Value indicating the low bit used for leveling. 0 <= nLowBit <= nHighBit <= (11 for 12-bit grayscale or 15 for 16-bit grayscale).

L_INT nHighBit

Value indicating the high bit used for leveling. 0 <= nLowBit <= nHighBit <= (11 for 12-bit grayscale or 15 for 16-bit grayscale).

L_RGBQUAD16 *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 output bitmap is 8-bit grayscale. If pLUT is not NULL, the output bitmap is a 24-bit bitmap.

L_UINT uLUTLength

Value indicating the number of entries pointed to by pLUT.

L_INT 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.

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 will convert the bitmap to a window-leveled bitmap. To implement window-leveling without affecting the image, use L_WindowLevelExt.

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 in the Document and Medical Imaging toolkits.

This function is similar to L_WindowLevelBitmap, except that it uses 16-bit per component LUT instead of 8-bit per component LUT.

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

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.

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.

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