virtual L_INT LBitmapBase::GrayScale(nBitsPerPixel=8)
Converts a 1-, 4-, 8-, 16-, 24-, or 32-bit bitmap to an 8-bit, 12-bit, 16-bit or 32-bit grayscale bitmap. Support for 12 ,16 and 32-bit grayscale images is available only in the Document/Medical toolkits.
Value indicating the number of bits in the destination bitmap. Valid values are 8, 12, 16, or 32.
Value | Meaning |
---|---|
SUCCESS | The function was successful. |
< 1 | An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes. |
The resulting bitmap can be an 8-bit, 12-bit, 16-bit or 32-bit grayscale bitmap. Once the function is complete, the Order member of the bitmap handle is set to ORDER_GRAY.
When converting to 12-bit, 16-bit or 32-bit grayscale, a Lookup table is not used. When converting to 8-bit grayscale, a Lookup table is used to get the RGB for each input pixel. The grayscale value corresponding to that RGB triple is used in the destination bitmap.
To update a status bar or detect a user interrupt during execution of this function, refer to LBase::EnableStatusCallBack.
Win32, x64.
