LBitmap::ConvertUnsignedToSigned

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LBitmap::ConvertUnsignedToSigned(uFlags)

Converts an unsigned bitmap to signed.

Parameters

L_UINT uFlags

Flag that indicates how to process bits outside the low bit to high bit range. Possible values are:

Value	Meaning
PROCESS_RANGE_ONLY	[0x0001] Shift data by adding half the range to each pixel without changing bits outside the (LowBit-HighBit) range.
PROCESS_OUTSIDE_RANGE	[0x0002] Shift data by adding half the range to each pixel and set to zero all bits outside the (LowBit-HighBit) range.

Returns

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

Comments

This function updates MaxVal and MinVal different values with new values that consider bitmap new sign. Also LBitmapBase::IsPixelsSigned() value will be set to one.

This function supports 12 and 16-bit grayscale images. Support for 12 and 16-bit grayscale images is available only in the Document/Medical 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.
