Version 14 of the LEADTOOLS C++ Class Library has changed from Version 13 as follows:
LEADTOOLS now supports UNICODE.
The Common Dialog functionality has removed from this help file and has presented in the new LEADTOOLS Common Dialog CLIB toolkit. For information on the new version 14 of the LEADTOOLS Common Dialog CLIB, refer to the LEADTOOLS Common Dialog CLIB Help File.
LEADTOOLS now supports overlay bitmaps drawing.
When loading PTOCA and AFP:PTOCA files, you can get and change the current values for the control options used by LEADTOOLS when loading a PTOCA file.
LEADTOOLS now lets you load embedded ICC profiles.
LEADTOOLS now supports to instruct the toolkit to react dynamically depending on the bitmap size or the amount of available memory.
LEADTOOLS now can subtract the live (destination) bitmap from the mask (source) bitmap to show the differences between the two bitmaps.
LEADTOOLS now supports double buffering; which is used to reduce flickering when painting windows.
LEADTOOLS now can detect the registration marks.
LEADTOOLS has improved the brightness and contrast functionality by adding the following new features:
Improve the brightness of an image by adding bitmaps within a bitmap list.
Increase or decrease the brightness in the bitmap by multiplying the colors in the specified bitmap.
Performs an adaptive contrast enhancement (ACE) to areas that are originally low in contrast.
Changes the distribution of the red, green, or blue channels.
Applies brightness, contrast and intensity adjustments to enhance the image tonal range.
Change the hue, saturation and brightness of all or specified colors in the image.
Adjust the hue, saturation and brightness of an image by applying one of five mathematical functions to a bitmaps pixel values: square, square root, log, sine, and cosine and then multiplying the results by specified factor.
Remap pixel values using a lookup table, or by applying a linear transformation.
Set up window leveling options for a bitmap using a lookup table or a linear transformation.
Converts a bitmap into a black and white image without changing its bits per pixel by using a local threshold value for each pixel of the image.
Wraps techniques of image enhancements, such as contrast enhancement, edge enhancement and latitude reduction, for Computed Radiography (CR).
Correcting nonuniform brightness.
LEADTOOLS has added Fourier Transforms to remove noise from video signals, CCDs, and harmonic noise like:
Herringbone patterns seen in video images
Sine wave patterns
Moir patterns
Halftone patterns
Interference patterns
LEADTOOLS has improved the Annotation Automation Object by adding new features.
Functionality being added with Version 14 now makes it possible for you to create custom annotations that look and behave in almost any way imaginable.
LEADTOOLS has improved the automated annotation by adding new six tools:
Curve Tool
LEADTOOLS now supports The PLT/RTF Options.
LEADTOOLS now supports AutoCAD Color Scheme.
LEADTOOLS now can compares all or part of one bitmap with all the areas of the same dimensions in another bitmap and finds those areas that match according to the measure of correlation.
LEADTOOLS now can be used to improve the brightness of an image by adding bitmaps within a bitmap list.
LEADTOOLS now can increase or decrease the brightness in the bitmap by multiplying the colors in the specified bitmap.
LEADTOOLS now filters a specified bitmap to detect colors in a specified intensity range in all planes or a specific plane.
LEADTOOLS now can combine image data from the source bitmap (the slave) and the destination bitmap (the master), using a perspective warp.
LEADTOOLS now supports linearizes the number of pixels locally in a bitmap, based on the specified color space.
LEADTOOLS now supports averaging the bitmaps in a list, eliminating random noise contained in the images.
LEADTOOLS now transforms the bitmap into a binary image.
LEADTOOLS now deinterlaces video source images by removing the black lines. It proceeds by merging lines in the image together and/or blending them together.
LEADTOOLS now smoothes the edges of a bitmap.
LEADTOOLS now can detect the edges in a bitmap by applying a statistical filter that analyzes the variations of colors in all directions around each pixel.
LEADTOOLS now can find the skeleton of regions or objects in a binary bitmap.
LEADTOOLS now converts a grayscale bitmap into a colored one by mixing or replacing the original values of the pixels with one or more new colors. Also it converts the image to a grayscale level by reducing the saturation of each color to zero.
LEADTOOLS now can removes holes from a bitmap region.
LEADTOOLS has improved the artistic effects by adding the following new features:
Adds shadows to a bitmap, letting you specify the threshold value, the direction of the light source, and whether the shadows are colored or grayscale.
Adds effects that simulate random color changes, scratches, dust and pits, making a bitmap look like it was made from an old film.
Splits the image into square or rectangular blocks. If the blocks are square, rotates each block by 0, 90, 180, or 270 degrees. If the blocks are rectangular, flips the blocks around the X-axis and Y-axis.
Adds light to the bitmap according to a function-based distribution. This functional light will be generated by one of the following methods: linear, quadratic, sine, cosine, or using freehand points.
Splits the image into square blocks and randomizes these blocks inside the image.
Divides the image into a certain number of rings. Each ring is rotated according to a rotate angle. The rotate angle for each ring will be chosen randomly by the function or can be passed to the function.
Adds a pseudo-3D wave effect to the bitmap by drawing horizontal lines across the bitmap and basing each lines height at each point on its brightness at that point.
Divides the bitmap into segments where each segments pixels have approximately the same color (homogenous color).
LEADTOOLS now can combine image data from the mask bitmap and underlay bitmap with an underlay effect.
Wraps the bitmap along the inside or outside of an arc pattern.
Warps the bitmap to a cylindrical shape.
Shears the bitmap by the wave drawn using amplitude values
Distorts the bitmap by the wave drawn using amplitude values
Makes a bitmap look like it was painted by an impressionist painter.
Divides the bitmap into rectangular or circular cells and then recreates the image using those cells filled with the minimum, maximum, or average pixel value, depending upon the effect that was set.
Converts the bitmap from rectangular to polar coordinates and vice versa.
Warps the bitmap by pinching it toward the center or expanding the bitmap away from its center.
Rotates the bitmap pixels around a center point.
Distorts a bitmap using a wave radiating from the specified center.
Warps the image in concentric rings.
Warps the image around a 3D spherical shape.
Produces a swirl pattern by rotating the bitmap the specified number of degrees about the specified point.
Distorts the bitmap with two perpendicular waves at the specified angle and with the specified wave type.
Creates thin lines, directed along the specified angle, on the specified bitmap.
Blurs the bitmap along radial lines starting from the specified center point.
Distorts the bitmap with a wave zoomed from the specified center.
Draws a water wave effect
LEADTOOLS has improved the adjusting colors in an image by adding the following new features:
Performs specific Mathematical or logical operations on the colors of a bitmap.
Replaces specified colors by adjusting values of hue, saturation and brightness.
Using any one of eight color spaces, resets those bitmaps pixel component values that fall inside or outside of a specified range.
Changes the distribution of the red, green, or blue channels.
Colors an 8, 12 or 16-bit grayscale bitmap. The function changes the color bits/pixel of the bitmap from the specified formats into 24-bit RGB format.
Selects a specified number of bits of an 8, 12 or 16-bit grayscale bitmap and puts them into a mask, then colors the bitmap depending on the mask. This can show bitmap variances depending on user-defined conditions.
Selects a specified number of bits from an 8, 12 or 16-bit grayscale bitmap into a mask and places the mask in a new 8, 12 or 16-bit grayscale bitmap.
Makes dark values darker and light values lighter to automatically enhance shadows and brighten the image.
Adds a three-dimensional texture pattern by applying the bump image to the destination image.
Rebalances the colors in a bitmap in order to make color adjustments and to correct images which have more color than others.
