LBitmap::SetOverlayAttributes

Summary

Sets overlay attributes for a certain index.

Syntax

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LBitmap::SetOverlayAttributes(nIndex, pOverlayAttributes, uFlags)

Parameters

L_INT nIndex

The index of the overlay being affected. This index is zero-based.

pOVERLAYATTRIBUTES pOverlayAttributes

Structure containing the overlay attributes.

L_UINT uFlags

Flags that determine overlay attributes should be changed. You can combine values using a bitwise OR ( | ). Possible values are:

Value	Meaning
OVERLAYATTRIBUTES_ORIGIN	[0x0001] Change the top-left position. pOverlayAttributes->ptOrigin contains the new top-left offset
OVERLAYATTRIBUTES_COLOR	[0x0002] Change the color. pOverlayAttributes->crColor contains the new color
OVERLAYATTRIBUTES_FLAGS	[0x0004] Change the flags. pOverlayAttributes->uFlags contains the new flags
OVERLAYATTRIBUTES_BITINDEX	[0x0008] Change the corresponding bitplane position. pOverlayAttributes->uBitPosition contains the new bitplane index.
OVERLAYATTRIBUTES_DICOM	[0x0010] Change the DICOM-related attributes, this includes:
	pOverlayAttributes->uRows
	pOverlayAttributes->uColumns
	pOverlayAttributes->szType
	pOverlayAttributes->uBitsAllocated
	pOverlayAttributes->szDescription
	pOverlayAttributes->szSubtype
	pOverlayAttributes->szLabel
	pOverlayAttributes->nROIArea
	pOverlayAttributes->fROIMean
	pOverlayAttributes->fROIStandardDeviation
	pOverlayAttributes->nNumFramesInOverlay
	pOverlayAttributes->uImageFrameOrigin
	pOverlayAttributes->szActivationLayer

Returns

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

Comments

Some or all the overlay attributes are being changed. Before calling this function, initialize pOverlayAttributes->uStructSize to be sizeof(OVERLAYATTRIBUTES) and initialize all the attributes you are changing. You do not need to initialize the structure variables that you are not updating. For example, if you are not setting OVERLAYATTRIBUTES_ORIGIN, you do not need to initialize pOverlayAttributes->ptOrigin.

There are several attributes in uFlags and you cannot change only one flag. If you want to change only one flag, you will first have to get all the flags and change only the flag you want. For more information, refer to the Example section.

Example

You can also see the example for LBitmap::SetOverlay
This example will change only one of the flag attributes for all the overlays
Note that OverlayAttributes.uStructSize is not initialized directly. LBitmap::GetOverlayAttributes
is initializing OverlayAttributes.uStructSize
