Adds shadows to the bitmap.
#include "ltwrappr.h"
virtual L_INT LBitmap::AddShadow (uAngle, uThreshold, uFlags)
Angle value indicating the direction of the light source producing the shadow. Possible values are:
Value | Meaning |
---|---|
SHADOW_E | [0] East |
SHADOW_NE | [1] Northeast |
SHADOW_N | [2] North |
SHADOW_NW | [3] Northwest |
SHADOW_W | [4] West |
SHADOW_SW | [5] Southwest |
SHADOW_S | [6] South |
SHADOW_SE | [7] Southeast |
Threshold value used to determine which pixels will be affected. Valid values range are:
When uFlags = COLOR_RGB, any component (R, G, or B) of a pixel with a value less than the uThreshold value is not affected. When uFlags = COLOR_GRAY, any pixel where the master channel value* is less than the uThreshold value is not affected.
Type of the shadow. Possible values are:
Value | Meaning |
---|---|
SHADOW_CLR_RGB | [0] Shadows are colored. |
SHADOW_CLR_GRAY | [1] Shadows are grayscale. |
Value | Meaning |
---|---|
SUCCESS | The function was successful. |
< 1 | An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes. |
This function applies a convolution matrix upon each color component and then combines the results in order to add shadows.
Support for 12- and 16-bit grayscale and 48- and 64-bit color images is available only in the Document/Medical toolkits.
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.
To update a status bar or detect a user interrupt during execution of this function, refer to LBase::EnableStatusCallback.
In order to speed up widely used image processing filters in LEADTOOLS, the grayscale value (master channel) of a colored image is calculated using the following formulas:
#define CalcGrayValue(r, g, b) ((L_UCHAR)(((L_UCHAR) (((2 * (L_UINT) (r)) + (5 * (L_UINT) (g)) + (L_UINT) (b) + 4) / 8))))
#define CalcGrayValue16(r, g, b) ((L_UINT16) (((2 * (L_UINT32) (r)) + (5 * (L_UINT32) (g)) + (L_UINT32) (b) + 4) / 8))
#define CalcGrayValue32(r, g, b) ((L_UINT32) (((2 * (L_UINT32) (r)) + (5 * (L_UINT32) (g)) + (L_UINT32) (b) + 4) / 8))
