LBitmap::ColoredBalls

#include "ltwrappr.h"

L_INT LBitmap::ColoredBalls(uNumBalls, uSize, uSizeVariation, nHighLightAng, crHighLight, crBkgColor, crShadingColor, pBallColors, uNumOfBallColors, uAvrBallClrOpacity, uBallClrOpacityVariation, uRipple, uFlags)

Adds colored balls to the bitmap. Various parameters control the color and appearance of the balls.

Parameters

L_UINT uNumBalls

Number of balls that will be drawn in the image.

L_UINT uSize

Average ball size, in pixels.

L_UINT uSizeVariation

Ball size variation. Valid values range from 0 to 100. Use 0 to have all balls the same size. Use 100 to have the size vary from 0 to 2 X uSize.

L_INT nHighLightAng

Light source direction of the highlight color on the ball. This value is in hundredths of degrees (+/-). A positive value will rotate the highlight color clockwise, while a negative value will rotate the highlight color counter-clockwise. Possible values range from -36000 to + 36000.

COLORREF crHighLight

Highlight color.

COLORREF crBkgColor

Background color.

COLORREF crShadingColor

Shade (or gradient) color.

COLORREF * pBallColors

Pointer to an array of ball colors.

L_UINT uNumOfBallColors

The number of ball colors.

L_UINT uAvrBallClrOpacity

Average ball color opacity. Valid values ranges are:

L_UINT uBallClrOpacityVariation

Ball color opacity variation. Valid values range from 0 to 100. Use 0 to have all pixels assigned the same opacity. Use 100 to have the opacity vary from 0 to 2 X uAvrBallClrOpacity.

L_UINT uRipple

The number of shades that are used to produce the background. This value is divided internally by 100. For example, if uRipple = 200 the actual frequency is 2. This value is ignored if the CLRBALLS_SHADING_SINGLE flag is set.

L_UINT uFlags

Flags that indicate which background color, shade (or gradient) type, ball type and ball color type to use. You can use a bit wise OR ( | ) to specify one flag from each group.

The following flags indicate how to draw the shading:

Value Meaning
CLRBALLS_SHADING_SINGLE [0x0001] Use only the background color (i.e. no shading).
CLRBALLS_SHADING_LEFTRIGHT [0x0002] Draw shading as vertical lines that move from left to right.
CLRBALLS_SHADING_TOPBOTTOM [0x0003] Draw shading as horizontal lines that move from top to bottom.
CLRBALLS_SHADING_CIRCULAR [0x0004] Draw shading as concentric circles.
CLRBALLS_SHADING_ELLIPTICAL [0x0005] Draw shading as concentric ellipses.

The following flags indicate how to use the balls:

Value Meaning
CLRBALLS_STICKER [0x0010] Use Balls that will overlap like stickers.
CLRBALLS_BALL [0x0020] Use Balls that will adjust like bubbles.

The following flags indicate how to treat the background:

Value Meaning
CLRBALLS_IMAGE [0x0100] Make the background the same as the image.
CLRBALLS_COLOR [0x0200] Make the background using crBkgColor and crShadingColor with the specified shade type.

The following flags indicate which type of ball coloring to use:

Value Meaning
CLRBALLS_BALLCLR_MASK [0x1000] Have the Ball color block image colors.
CLRBALLS_BALLCLR_OPACITY [0x2000] Use the opacity value when combining image colors with ball colors.

Returns

Value Meaning
SUCCESS The function was successful.
< 1 An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

The CLRBALLS_STICKER flag produces balls with more distinct edges than the CLRBALLS_BALL option.

To update a status bar or detect a user interrupt during execution of this function, refer to LBase::EnableStatusCallback.

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 only in the Document/Medical toolkits.

If the bitmap has a region, this function works only on the region. If the bitmap does not have a region, this function works on the entire bitmap.

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.

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.
