L_DlgWindowLevel

Summary

Brings up the Window Level dialog box, and gets the options for L_WindowLevel. This function is available in the Medical toolkits.

Syntax

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTDLG_API L_INT L_DlgWindowLevel(hWndOwner, pDlgParams)

Parameters

L_HWND hWndOwner

Handle of the window which owns the dialog.

LPWINDOWLEVELDLGPARAMS pDlgParams

Pointer to a WINDOWLEVELDLGPARAMS structure to be updated with the user selected values. Set members of this structure to set the dialog initial values.

Returns

Value	Meaning
SUCCESS_DLG_OK	The dialog exits successfully after pressing the "OK" button.
SUCCESS_DLG_CANCEL	The dialog exits successfully after pressing the "Cancel" button.
< 1	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

The Window Level dialog.

✎ NOTE

This dialog only works for 12 or 16 bit grayscale images. Trying to use this dialog with other images will result in an error.

You must allocate the memory for the LUT before calling this function. You can calculate the required size with (sizeof(RGBQUAD) * (1<<(pBitmap->HighBit - pBitmap->LowBit + 1))), as seen in the example below.

For example, suppose you are working with a 12 bit grayscale image. There are 4096 intensity levels in a 12 bit image (2 raised to the 12th power). Normally, the interval between 0 and 4095 would be mapped to colors between (0, 0, 0) and (255, 255, 255). With this function, any value that falls between the low level and the high level will be mapped to colors between the start color and the end color. If you do not want a gradient, set the start and end colors equal.
