LBitmap::ShiftMinimumToZero

#include "ltwrappr.h"

L_INT LBitmap::ShiftMinimumToZero(puShiftAmount, uFlags = 0)

Converts the signed bitmap to an unsigned bitmap by increasing or shifting the bitmap's intensity values, so the lowest intensity value (the most negative value) will be shifted to zero.

Parameters

L_UINT * puShiftAmount

Pointer to a variable to be updated with the value by which the intensity values were shifted.

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 is similar to LBitmap::ConvertSignedToUnsigned. However, LBitmap::ShiftMinimumToZero updates the puShiftAmount parameter with the value by which the intensity values were shifted.

The LBitmap::ShiftMinimumToZero and LBitmap::ShiftZeroToNegative functions are most often used in concert with one or more image processing or analysis functions. LBitmap::ShiftMinimumToZero converts signed data to unsigned data, in preparation for some image processing or analysis. (Most image processing functions work only on unsigned data.) After the image processing or analysis is performed, LBitmap::ShiftZeroToNegative converts the unsigned data back to signed data.

This function updates the "Flags.Signed", "MinVal" and "MaxVal" members of the class objects BITMAPHANDLE member; a pointer obtained by calling LBitmapBase::GetHandle function.

This function doesn't support 8-bit images.

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.

This function supports signed data images.

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.
